RedSeal today announced the latest
upgrade to its award-winning network modeling and risk scoring platform,
trusted by more than 50 U.S. government agencies and hundreds of Global 2000
companies worldwide. To create the most complete network model possible, RedSeal's
platform now validates policies at the application and networking levels, as
well as provides endpoint modeling. These exclusive new capabilities bolster
users' understanding of their complete enterprise data centers, including
public cloud, private cloud and physical network environments, which in turn
extends an enterprise's foundation for being resilient to cyber events.
Unprecedented Network Context with Application-Based
Policies: Layer 7 Application ID
Large enterprises with Next
Generation Firewalls (NGFWs) can now use RedSeal to visualize access and
validate policies at the application level (Layer 7), as well as at the
networking level (Layers 2, 3 and 4). No other security, network modeling or
cyber risk scoring product provides this level of visibility, understanding and
validation for an organization's security posture.
With this kind of visibility within and between their
network environments, users can understand and prioritize incidents and
vulnerabilities wherever they are. This is a significant new capability because
traditional firewall policies are based on the networking level-defined by
source, destination, port, and protocol. NGFWs, however, are becoming more
prevalent in networks and users can create policies, to be implemented by the
firewalls, based on the identities of specific applications or Application IDs.
For example, RedSeal can validate a "Deny Skype" policy that has been applied
to specific addresses, or across all ports and protocols, further strengthening
the user's security posture.
Expand Picture of Cyber Terrain with Endpoint Information
from All Sources
With its capabilities expanding to include endpoint
modeling, RedSeal is the only resource that models and consolidates endpoint
information from any source. This feature gives RedSeal users the ability to
import and store information about their endpoints from multiple sources,
including vulnerability scanners, Endpoint Protection and Endpoint Detection
Response (EDR) solutions, as well as other applications such as Active
Directory.
"A comprehensive understanding of network assets and paths
is the foundation of a digital resilience strategy," said Kurt
Van Etten, chief product officer at RedSeal. "With its latest
enhancements, RedSeal's platform is the only product on the market that
models Layer 2, 3, 4, and 7 policies and consolidates endpoint information from
any source. As a result, RedSeal builds the most complete model available,
including public and private clouds, physical assets and endpoint sources. The
important new features introduced in our latest product ensure users can
confidently validate their security posture, accelerate investigation and
improve productivity of network and security teams.
