RuleGate enforces cyber security policies with millions of rules – at full line rate – and without any degradation in network performance. Conventional network defenses simply cannot scale to meet the breadth of today’s threats. The RuleGate platform offers cyber analysts full visibility into which hosts are communicating from inside the network to specific hosts outside the network, in real-time. RuleGate is the key component of Centripetal’s Network Protection System, a fully integrated Active Network Defense platform that includes Centripetal’s full line of hardware and software solutions.
With 300 security experts positioned around the world, iSIGHT Partners is able to deliver global threat intelligence that is truly unique to the industry. ThreatScape subscriptions equip enterprises with the intelligence necessary to align their security program with business risk management goals to defend against new and emerging cyber threats. iSIGHT’s ThreatScape intelligence provide analysts with rich, contextual reporting that includes the motivation and intent of adversaries, their campaigns and technical indicators, the malware used, and the vulnerabilities being exploited.
Through the integration of iSIGHT Partners’ cyber intelligence with the RuleGate platform, organizations can activate large-scale policies in seconds while applying million-scale unique indicators to every packet entering and exiting the network, without creating any degradation in network performance. Centripetal Networks utilizes iSIGHT’s ThreatScape intelligence, which the RuleGate then operationalizes to enable organizations to block and alert on threats in real-time, preventing data theft on the network before it occurs.
Currently, retailers and large financials are actively relying on this integrated capability to prioritize their network defenses. Based on observed indicators on the network, these organizations can evaluate their security posture and fix vulnerabilities before a breach. iSIGHT Partners often releases new intelligence on advanced adversaries within days of discovery, which provides customers with timely and relevant defensive capabilities across various industries.
“With RuleGate, the Centripetal team has developed a very advanced and highly scalable means of operationalizing threat intelligence and significantly reducing risk for its customers,” noted Karl Hutter, iSIGHT vice president, strategic partnerships and channel. “The combination of ThreatScape and RuleGate is a win for customers fighting the battle against advanced threats.”
