Active Directory Firewall Protects Against Today's Threats, Enabling Security Intelligence
STEALTHbits Technologies Releases StealthINTERCEPT(R) v3.3 -- Real-Time Windows Change and Access Auditing, and Windows Security Intelligence Solution
(firmenpresse) - HAWTHORNE, NJ -- (Marketwired) -- 02/11/15 -- STEALTHbits Technologies, Inc., today announced the release of StealthINTERCEPT® v3.3, a firewall technology designed to detect and alert on threats like Pass the Hash (PtH) and Brute Force attacks. Through real-time interception and analysis of Active Directory change and authentication traffic, StealthINTERCEPT detects and alerts on today's threats, as publicized in the media. Using an award-winning, innovative approach, StealthINTERCEPT provides customers a platform-agnostic solution for detecting threats without the need for endpoint agents.
Market demand for specialized Advanced Threat Detection (ATD) and Privileged Identity Management (PIM) technologies has risen in response to steadily increasing breach event occurrences, many of which have manifested from exploits within internal systems leveraging compromised administrative credentials.
The release highlights several key feature enhancements and the announcement of new technology partnerships with industry-leading Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) vendors including HP (ArcSight®), McAfee® (ESM -- formerly Nitro), and RSA® (Security Analytics). In recognition of an existing integration with IBM's QRadar SIEM, STEALTHbits was also today presented the .
"StealthINTERCEPT is a first of its kind firewall for Active Directory. It is a protective boundary that provides enhanced security and intelligence," said Adam Laub, STEALTHbits' Vice President. "It intercepts all traffic and provides pre-emptive insight into serious security events as they're unfolding -- like a canary in a coal mine."
Organizations have traditionally relied on native Windows logging facilities to obtain details about changes to access and configuration, in addition to authentication and authorization activity, but have struggled to obtain meaningful, contextual, and reliable information from logging alone.
Laub explained, "Limitations of native Windows logging itself is really the underlying reason as to why organizations have been unable to obtain actionable business risk context about their Microsoft infrastructures."
