Symantec and Sun on Wednesday announced on Oct. 29 enhanced editions of Sun's iForce Intrusion Detection Appliance that now sport the most recent version of Symantec's ManHunt intrusion detection software and run on the faster Sun Fire V60x server.
Now available in seven models -- compared to the quartet at the iForce appliance debut in April, 2003 -- the device relies on ManHunt 3.0 to protect against both known and unknown (so-called 'zero-day') attacks, defend against denial-of-service (DoS) attacks, and detect protocol anomalies. The original editions of the appliance used Symantec's ManHunt 2.2.
The appliance is based on Sun's Fire V60x server and runs a hardened edition of Sun's Solaris OS x86 Platform Edition.
Available in versions that handle traffic at speeds from 100Mbps to 2Gbps, prices for the refreshed appliances start at $12,500.
To realize the benefits of cloud-native software, an application must actually be cloud-native—designed to run in the cloud, interacting with disaggregated cloud services, fully manageable as code—to deliver the expected benefits.
By combining resources and expertise, the AI-Enabled ICT Workforce Consortium will offer a blueprint for how industries can adapt to an AI-dominated future.
IT leaders should heed the guidance of cybersecurity insurance providers who think businesses should prioritize security education, incident preparedness, regular internal audits, and ongoing vulnerability scanning and patching.
