Solera Networks First to Achieve Third Party Validation for Big Data Security Intelligence and Analytics
SAN FRANCISCO --(Business Wire)--
Solera
Networks, the industry's leading Big Data Security Intelligence and
Analytics provider, today announced the results of comprehensive
hands-on performance testing and benchmarking conducted on its Solera
DeepSee platform by Enterprise
Strategy Group (ESG), a leading industry analyst and market research
firm. The first of its kind testing validated DeepSee's Big Data
Security Intelligence and Analytics capabilities, along with its
performance and accuracy claims for enterprise and service provider
network deployments.
According to the report, "ESG Lab has confirmed that the DeepSee
platform has the performance that's needed to capture, index and analyze
real-world network traffic within organizations and enterprises of any
size."
Highlights of ESG's test results include:
-
Wire speed fixed packet capture and index-ESG validated that
DeepSee can capture and index full packets at a 9.85 gigabits per
second (Gbps) line rate.
-
Full fidelity capture, index and deep packet inspection-ESG
confirmed that DeepSee can collect, classify and perform deep packet
inspection of application-level service provider and enterprise
network traffic at 5.35 Gbps and 3.62 Gbps respectively.
-
Big data security analytics and insight with 100 percent accuracy-ESG
also validated that the DeepSee platform accurately classified 125 of
125 applications and 25 of 25 different file types.
-
Intuitive threat visibility and intelligence-ESG also evaluated
DeepSee's ability to reconstruct e-mails, instant messages, images and
files, as well as its integration with industry-standard reputation
services.
-
<>Context-aware integration-As part of the evaluation ESG also
looked at context-aware integrated workflow with leading security
appliances such as an IPS system.
"When it comes to detecting advanced threats, attacks and suspicious
network activity, big data security analytics depend upon
high-performance processing to accurately and effectively monitor
network activity in real time," said Jon Oltsik, senior principal
analyst at ESG. "In ESG Lab's testing, Solera (News - Alert) DeepSee demonstrated
levels of performance and accuracy that are needed to capture, index,
classify, and analyze real-world network traffic in the enterprise. For
organizations seeking to drive their defense-in-depth strategy to new
levels of protection, performance and intelligence with big data
security, ESG Lab testing validates that Solera Networks can meet
enterprise performance and security requirements."
"ESG's comprehensive testing provides strong validation of the
performance and accuracy that Solera DeepSee's big data security and
intelligence platform delivers for advanced threat protection," said
Ajay Uggirala, director, product and technical marketing, Solera
Networks. "Armed with this best-in-class performance, intelligence and
analytics, enterprises and service providers can respond more swiftly
and decisively to zero-day threats and advanced targeted attacks that
threaten their most critical information assets."
Apart from testing Solera DeepSee platform's performance and accuracy
capability, ESG also validated DeepSee's ability to deliver situational
awareness, cyber threat protection, security incident response, policy
compliance and data loss monitoring. According to the report, " [The
Solera DeepSee Platform] is like having a high definition video recorder
for your network that records every TV show on every channel and stores
the recordings for weeks at a time. Solera Networks not only records
every packet, flow and file that traverses your network, but also
provides a fast and intuitive user interface for real-time and
back-in-time security intelligence and analytics."
