Dragon Network Sensor

Powerful network intrusion defense

A sophisticated software and appliance-based network intrusion defense system, the Dragon Network Sensor identifies misuse and attacks across the network.

Placed at network aggregation points, the Dragon Network Sensor is unmatched in detecting intrusions via signature, protocol, and anomaly-based techniques. Application-based event detection detects non-signature-based attacks against commonly targeted applications including HTTP, RPC and FTP. These multimethod detection techniques, combined with an extensive, frequently updated signature database and false-positive tuning capabilities, ensure that no intrusion goes undetected.

When an attack is detected, Dragon Network Sensor employs a variety of Active Response techniques to block the would-be intruder, including taking action to stop the sessions and reconfiguring firewall policies or switch and router Access Control Lists.

Dragon Network Sensor offers market-leading deep Forensics capabilities, including flexible packet capture, complete session reconstruction, and highly configurable Session VCR (collects all session information for services such as HTTP, FTP, POP and certain IPs or networks) that is needed to analyze network-based attacks.

 

Features & Benefits

Open tunable signatures
  • Implementation, modification, and custom creation of signatures to detect the attacks unique to each environment
Multi-interface monitoring
  • Combines multiple network interfaces into a single traffic stream, enabling dual-tap—without a switch
IP defragmention and TCP/UDP stream reassembly
  • Identifies attackers who attempt to evade an IDS by distributing attacks over multiple packets
Protocol decoding
  • Identifies attackers who hide an attack within an application protocol
IDS Denial of Service
  • Countermeasures defeat tools such as “stick” and “snort”
Event sniping
  • Terminates an attack session via a TCP reset or ICMP unreachable message
Dynamic reconfiguration
  • Stops attacks through Checkpoint firewalls and blocks hackers on most commercial switches and routers
Probe prevention
  • Defeats or confuses scanning techniques with false responses
Backdoor and rogue server detection
