Rackspace Introduces Enhanced Network Security.
2006-11-13, HostMan.biz Rackspace Managed Hosting today announced the addition of Invision Security Appliance, an enterprise-class Intrusion Detection System that combines multi-layer threat management technology and comprehensive monitoring with the company's renowned Fanatical Support to automatically detect network threats. Rackspace extends its security expertise with the launch of Invision IDS, adding to the hosting specialist's fully-integrated suite of managed security services and products. Invision's ActiveWatch Monitoring Service provides SANS-certified network security analysts to monitor network activity and conduct extensive protection and security reviews to detect network threats such as worms, Trojans, BotNets and unauthorized intruders in real time. Invision also leverages thousands of threat signatures to automatically block network attacks with an enhanced scanning capability that monitors incoming traffic for signatures that are only a threat to each respective environment, reducing the false positive rate. "Rackspace's Invision IDS has provided a service that hardware alone cannot effectively manage," said Spencer Nassar, vice president of development and services, Bones in Motion. "Their network security experts and enhanced monitoring systems identify the threats that really need attention, weeding out the false positives that waste our IT staff's time and company resources." Invision IDS correlates threats with host vulnerabilities, thus detecting complex network attack patterns through on-demand vulnerability scanning and network topology scans leveraging thousands of vulnerability checks to pinpoint and mitigate threats. And by integrating fully with firewalls, vulnerable traffic can be blocked even before reaching the device. Additionally, Invision's compliance reporting enhancements include six-month data retention for historical and forensic reporting, helping businesses track their efforts to comply with the rigorous security regulations such as Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), PCI Data Security Standard (PCI) and Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX). "Customers today are not only concerned about network threats and security plans, but they also are facing several security regulations with SOX, HIPAA and more," said Lew Moorman, senior vice president of corporate strategy and product development. "Rackspace serves as a total managed security partner, ensuring the highest levels of security for customer data and also cataloguing network activity to abide by the compliance and reporting policies confronting our customers." Rackspace has partnered with Alert Logic, an on-demand network security solutions provider, to deliver the Invision Security Appliance as a fully-integrated component of Rackspace's managed security portfolio. Rackspace also offers its managed hosting customers customized patching, Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) mitigation, managed backup, dedicated firewalls and virtual private networks. Additionally, Rackspace offers customized risk assessment programs and security consulting. |
