Hillstone Adds Behavioral Intelligence to Its Firewalls to Detect Breaches EarlierHillstone Networks, a leading provider of enterprise network firewall solutions that is positioned in the Enterprise Network Firewalls Magic Quadrant released by Gartner (News - Alert), Inc.*, is releasing a new technology in breach detection on their Intelligent Next-Generation Firewall platform. Based on machine learning technologies such as statistical clustering and vector analysis, the new firewall platform targets breaches and detects anomalous network behavior. It allows security administrators to discover and mitigate malicious security events within minutes of an attack. The platform also includes rich forensic tools that continuously assess the state of the network and help determine the root cause of attacks. The Hillstone software provides an ongoing Network Risk Index that provides instant situational awareness, giving administrators real-time visibility into network and application integrity. Hillstone will be demonstrating the new platform at the CSO50 Security Confab in Amelia Island, Fla. February 23-25, 2015. There, the company will also be presenting on "A New Approach to Advanced Breach Detection." "The traditional perimeter-based approach to security is based on the assumption of a clean inside and dirty outside. This assumption is no longer valid. Furthermore, exploits leave discernible trails of behaviors inside the network through each stage of the cyber kill-chain," said Tim Liu, CTO and Co-Founder at Hillstone Networks. "The Hillstone Networks firewall platform is a pioneer in leveraging analytics and forensics to prevent breaches, and minimize damage of intrusions that do occur." The Hillstone firewall solution provides the following benefits for a more holistic and proactive security platform that works hand-in-hand with your network ecosystem:
