Arbor won the award for its Pravail Security Analytics solution.

Arbor Networks Vice President for Asia Pacific Jeff Buhl says Pravail takes network packet captures from anywhere in the network, not just where customers already have security enforcement, “delivering an unprecedented view of security across all network data.”

“This allows customers to see attacks on their global network faster and in more detail than ever before. Powerful visualisations display the data from multiple perspectives (attacker, target, location or attack type) enabling the analyst to quickly compare attack statistics from different periods or locations, over years or terabytes of traffic.

“Once an indicator of compromise has been identified, Pravail Security Analytics provides the analyst with actionable intelligence, allowing confirmation of the exact details and extent of the attack.”

“We’re honoured that the judges at 2014 Interop Japan recognised the power of the Pravail Security Analytics platform,” Buhl said.

“Arbor is able to deliver the security intelligence, and importantly, the context needed by internal teams to quickly identify threats within the network. Too often, teams suffer from alert fatigue, unable to focus on the critical few. Pravail Security Analytics shows that there is a better way.”

Buhl says Pravail provides a “look back in time, re-evaluating existing data with new attack information to ensure a complete picture of compromise,” and he cites as an example, the Heartbleed vulnerability.

“Now the Heartbleed vulnerability has been identified, and protections have been updated, Pravail Security Analytics can loop old traffic to establish the attack timeline. These capabilities are all the more important as incident response and security operations teams are increasingly asked to quickly and accurately make calls as to when and how a network or key data has been breached, and what response and steps the organisation needs to take next.”
