Web-based analytics delivers intelligence on DDoS attacks

In recent days we've seen DDoS attacks hit some major names like Feedly and even force the CodeSpaces hosting service out of business.

In a bid to combat the threat presented by DDoS attacks, security specialist Corero Network Security has announced a powerful web-based analytics portal.

Corero SecureWatch Analytics delivers turn-key visibility into DDoS attacks and cyber threats with comprehensive and easy-to-read security dashboards. Using Splunk software for big data analytics and advanced visualization, Corero has made security intelligence much more accessible and easier to act on. This means that companies are able to react to threats much more quickly.

"Extracting meaningful information from volumes of raw security events has been a virtual impossibility for all but the largest enterprises with dedicated security analysts. Corero SecureWatch Analytics provides this capability in a turn-key fashion to enterprises of all sizes," says Nirav Shah, Director of Product Management at Corero Network Security. "Big data analytics engines are empowered by valuable raw data. By combining sophisticated event data generated by our industry leading First Line of Defense security appliances with the Splunk platform, we have created a solution that quickly finds the needles in the haystack of security events".

The portal's real-time dashboards provide easy-to-use visibility into an enterprise's network and security activity enabling rapid response in combating threats. Additionally, SecureWatch Analytics supports archived security event data to allow forensic analysis of past threats and compliance reporting of security activity.

SecureWatch Analytics is included with the purchase of Corero's SmartWall Threat Defense System and DDoS Defense System security products. For more information visit the Corero website.
