SafeMedia's HaloNS is the "next generation" Cyber Security Appliance that surpasses all other security devices, such as firewalls, NIDPS Appliances, UTMs, AV and Web gateways, in performance, accuracy and scalability with the lowest total cost of ownership (TCO) in the industry!
The HaloNS Appliance provides for end-to-end threat capture, mitigation and complete threat eradication. The appliance operates in both a passive IDS monitoring mode as well as an active in-line/in-band IPS mode with choke points that has unsurpassed power and granular controls to protect your network against traditional intrusion vulnerabilities as well as the new generation of advanced persistent threats (APTs) and zero-day attacks.
Our appliance enables high-value, high-risk application web deployments while mitigating the risks associated with such applications. This is accomplished with its features of attack recognition beyond simple signature matching, dropping malicious sessions as opposed to the simple resetting of connections, and the deployment of protocol behavior technology that operates at "wire speed."
Next Generation Network Security Technologies: HaloNS Cyber Security System has the following embedded technologies: packet capture and normalization; packets assembly; flow processors; anomaly detection; network pattern recognition; target based detection; application & protocol behavior analysis. The aggregation of the all of these patented technologies makes the HaloNS Appliance the only enterprise-class security solution that offers total network visibility and complete threat detection & prevention with mitigation. Across all seven layers of the OSI model, this new paradigm of cyber security technology protects against application level threats that originate inside the traditional network boundaries as well as in network zone segmentation, thus enforcing endpoint security policies and providing proactive defenses against vulnerabilities before they are exploited.
Unique Dual Detection Engines: The HaloNS Appliance contains two detection engines: a Kernel Engine and a User Engine. The kernel detection engine is the only one of its kind in the market today. It delivers unparalleled performance and accuracy in packet analysis at wire speed. The kernel engine deploys dynamic application layer protocol analysis, and reduces FP, whiles the user engine, with its eleven target based processors, provides robust inspection with the accuracy and granularity of target based inspection.
48,000+ Rules/ choke points/ counter measures: The dual detection engines deploy over 48,000 rules that provide end to end threat coverage to your network for all incoming and outgoing internet traffic. Coverage includes application control, signature control, anomaly controls and target based controls. This expands the scope of threat mitigation to include viruses, malware, botnets, dangerous URLs, advanced persistent threats and a variety of internet attacks, such as those vulnerabilities originated through tunneled applications, encrypted internet traffic, compressed traffic and files, that prevent the unauthorized use of proxies and encrypted internet tunnels. All Rules are organized in 86 functional groups in an Innodb database, updated every 3 hours, with complete user control on every new or updated rule as well as enabling or deactivating any rule group or individual rule. This unique rule update methodology allows the user to select what groups of rules to use, what rules to update and what rules to disable. Unique rule performance reporting identifies the best & worst performing rules and allows for real-time rule edits and modifications.
Stealth Operation: HaloNS Appliances are deployed in complete stealth environments, without an IP, to avoid attacks from outside the network.
Scalability: The HaloNS Appliance has a modular distributed architecture where Appliances and sensors can be deployed throughout any network. In addition, additional protection modules can be added as new exploits and Internet threats emerge.
System Management: The system management platform is intuitive and pushes down policy to Appliances and managed sensors. Centralized management of HaloNS and policies are implemented through a granular cyber security widget based GUI, that is integrated with our rules and alerts databases.
