Netreo Introduces New Security Platform

Netreo unveiled its new Securitas line of Network Intrusion Detection Systems (NIDS) to complement and integrate with the existing Omniscient family of IT and security management products. Securitas is implemented as an appliance-based, rack-mountable solution with an emphasis on real-time reporting and simple administration. The design allows the product to be rapidly deployed and easily customized, which results in dramatically reduced false alarms.

As a NIDS product, Securitas provides real-time alarming and reporting capabilities to help safeguard IT environments from the threat of security breaches, including those caused by virus or automated worm activity. The product is configured to monitor connected network segments for suspicious network activity and alert the appropriate IT resources when a pre-configured signature is detected. Network security and IT personnel have quick access to critical information from anywhere in the world using the web-based interface.

"By building on our strengths in simplifying complex tools, we have created a powerful, proactive tool that will dramatically improve the security of our customer's IT infrastructure," said James Mancini, chief technology officer. "Reducing the administrative overhead required to manage an Intrusion Detection System dramatically reduces the total cost of ownership."

Securitas products integrate easily into the Omniscient architecture to provide integrated fault, performance and real-time security status reporting across an enterprise network. Securitas also supports a secure VPN architecture, permitting remote monitoring and customization, software revision updates and optional ongoing managed services.
