Solera Networks Rolls Out Black Box Data Recorder for Immediate Visibility into Potential Security BreachesApr 11, 2013 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- Solera Networks, a provider of Big Data Security Intelligence and Analytics for Advanced Threat Protection, unveiled the Solera DeepSee BlackBox Recorder, which continuously and silently captures all network traffic-including packets, flows, files and applications. According to a release, in the event of a security breach, incident responders can leverage the DeepSee BlackBox Recorder to swiftly pinpoint the root cause and material impact, while applying precise and effective remediation. Incident responders and security service providers can deploy DeepSee BlackBox Recorder easily and for no cost; purchasing a license to access and retrieve data and security intelligence in the case of a breach. In leveraging such a critical tool, incident responders will now have the content, context and visibility needed to investigate, repair and remediate breach activity. "The Solera DeepSee BlackBox Recorder is like having a black box flight recorder for the network-providing incident responders with all the critical information necessary to effectively investigate and resolve a security breach or targeted attack," said Steve Shillingford, president and CEO at Solera Networks. "Ponemon Institute's recent 'Post Breach Boom' report, commissioned by Solera Networks, shows organizations are not prepared to effectively respond after a breach. On average, it takes more than three months to detect and four months to resolve a malicious breach. With its 'break glass when breached' approach, today's incident responders and security service providers will immediately realize the value of DeepSee BlackBox Recorder by accessing it after a breach occurs." The Solera DeepSee BlackBox Recorder provides incident responders and security service providers with an effective way to integrate Solera DeepSee into existing security infrastructure, providing the always-on 'eyes and ears' that investigators need to tap into at a moment's notice. The Recorder can be deployed as a DeepSee Virtual Appliance or as DeepSee Software. The DeepSee BlackBox Recorder has the ability to be deployed and installed at no initial cost - with a requirement to purchase a license only when incident responders "break the glass" to retrieve the captured security intelligence. The BlackBox Recorder delivers effective incident response and combines big data security analytics, threat intelligence and full security visibility to answer critical post-breach questions like: who compromised the system ; what systems and data were affected ; what is the root cause and material impact ; and are we sure it is over and won't happen again . The Solera DeepSee BlackBox Recorder delivers no-cost initial deployment and licensing options to "break the glass," without requiring upfront capital investments or the need to deploy hardware throughout the network. It is an effective way for incident responders to quickly resolve any threat and return a customers' network to "whole" again after a security incident. Built upon Solera DeepSee technology, the BlackBox Recorder applies big data security analytics, threat intelligence and full network visibility for: -Application discovery-classify more than 1,000 applications and thousands of metadata attributes, including content types and file names; -Real-time file extraction-automatically extract and analyze any file, including malicious file types; -Root Cause Explorer-create a timeline of suspect Web sessions, email and chat conversations-before, during and after a security breach; -Session reconstruction-obtain a full record of user session activity as it happened in real-time; -Reputation service-reveal the integrity of any IP address, file or email address; and -Full layer 2-7 indexing-correlated analytics with direct drill-downs from layer 2 to 7. Solera DeepSee BlackBox Recorder is available directly to incident responders and security service providers, or through the Solera Networks 20:20 Partner Program.
