NFR Security, Inc., a leader in Intelligent Intrusion Management, today announced the release and immediate availability of NFR Sentivist 4.0, the next generation of its Intelligent Intrusion Management solution. The new version of NFR's flagship product adds many new capabilities that reduce false positives and enhance scalability and manageability, giving enterprises the intrusion detection tools necessary for effective network security, and raising the bar on this vital component of enterprise security infrastructure.
Sentivist enables enterprises to secure their networks against emerging threats and vulnerabilities that accompany the increasing use of IPv6. Specifically, it supports Next Generation Networks with its full support for IPv6, or Internet Protocol version 6, including tunnels (v4-v4, v4-v6, v6-v4, v6-v6). IPv6 offers a variety of new features and capabilities, including significant security enhancements, compared to the current IPv4 technology. However, because it is still an emerging technology, many security administrators are not aware of the risks inherent in the technology. By adding IPv6 support in Sentivist 4.0, NFR Security has provided organizations the ability to identify security threats related to this addressing scheme, such as attacks where intruders use IPv6-IPv4 tunneling techniques in an attempt to evade detection under the premise that most current IDS products do not offer IPv6 support. |
