Network Security Solution can be deployed non- intrusively

CleanTraffic(TM) defends enterprises and service providers from targeted DDoS attacks, active zombies, and rapid malware. Within hours of deployment, product automatically learns about all network endpoints and detects, tracks, and mitigates outside-in or inside-out attacks to or from any endpoints. Solutions can be deployed using appliances that scale from 1 Gbps of traffic for smaller organizations, to over 10 Gbps of traffic for very large organizations.

PALO ALTO, Calif., March 20 / -- netZentry, a leader in advanced network security today announced the immediate availability of CleanTraffic(TM), a breakthrough solution designed to defend enterprises and service providers from the triple threat of targeted DDoS attacks, active zombies, and rapid malware. Unlike other forms of network attacks, triple threat attacks are signature-less, have zero-day characteristics, and are distributed in nature. These attacks cannot be effectively solved by traditional security offerings, including Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) and Application Firewalls.

netZentry's CleanTraffic(TM) solution uses patented technology to detect, track, and mitigate all forms of triple threat. CleanTraffic is deployed non- intrusively, as a sideline device, without disrupting existing infrastructure or affecting network performance. Within hours of deployment, CleanTraffic automatically learns about all the endpoints of the network, detects, tracks, and mitigates outside-in or inside-out attacks, to or from any of the endpoints. These include many-to-one DDoS attacks, one-to-many malware outbreaks, and active zombie traffic. CleanTraffic features a powerful, unified, real-time user-interface that simplifies defense management by providing rich analytics on a per-endpoint basis. CleanTraffic solutions are deployed using appliances that scale from 1 Gbps of traffic for smaller organizations, to over 10 Gbps of traffic for very large organizations.

"Enterprises and service providers alike are very vulnerable to the triple threat. These attacks, if not stopped, can result in substantial loss of revenue because of either loss of productivity or loss of customers caused by the outages. CleanTraffic is the only complete solution that detects triple threat attacks, and also neutralizes them before they can cause damage," said Vasu Vasudevan, President and CEO of netZentry.

The CleanTraffic solution is versatile and offers value to several market segments. For example, it enables service providers to protect not only their infrastructure but also their customers from outside-in DDoS attacks.

"The intuitive user interface and the attack mitigation capabilities of netZentry's CleanTraffic product make it easy for us to both save money and sleep better at night," said Ethan Burnside, Principal at Kattare Internet Services.

Chris Shaffer of 1-800-HOSTING added, "The CleanTraffic solution also helps detect active zombies within internal networks as has been the case at 1-800-HOSTING. netZentry's CleanTraffic products allow us to maintain a greater level of service availability during attacks by filtering the malicious traffic both to and from our customers' environment, allowing their businesses to continue uninterrupted."
