Sandstorm Secures Enterprise Networks Using Embedded MySQL | 2006-10-11 01:00:17 | MySQL |
| Existing network monitoring and Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) cannot provide all the information that network managers need to pinpoint network problems and investigate security breaches. Instead, users are forced to manually inspect network traffic and data, which is extremely time consuming and makes getting an in-depth view of what has crossed a network nearly impossible. To solve this problem, Sandstorm Enterprises developed NetIntercept, a network monitoring and auditing device that is delivered as a complete solution with software pre-installed. NetIntercept relies on MySQL to store and structure the searchable data to identify network and network security issues in the most demanding customer environments. | |||
