Product and Service Description
Mainstream Security Services provides a fully integrated network and
server defense system. Providing not just stateful firewall
protection or packet filters, Mainstream uses StreamClean(tm)
technology to look into the streams of data flowing to and from
servers. This technology actually examines the data itself, finding
intrusion attempts that other Intrusion Detection Systems miss.
StreamClean provides generalized appliances that sit at the network
edge, as well as specialized Sentries that directly protect Databases,
Web Servers, File Servers, or other clients and servers. Placing
these protocol-specific StreamClean Sentinels at critical network
points allows Mainstream to see everything going on. StreamClean
aggregates, correlates and analyzes the security data gathered from
these multiple security devices, giving an appropriate response that
can only be done when the entire security impact can be examined.
Each StreamClean device acts autonomously, providing a high degree of
protection. These devices also unite together with a centralized
monitoring platform for data logging, event correlation, threat
analysis, threat response and forensic investigation of the enormous
quantities of security event data.
The large volume of security data generated by most systems eventually
results in so much ``noise'' that real security is not increased.
StreamClean solves this problem, too. It prioritizes each and every
security event, putting it into context. This minimizes the work that
the security staff has to perform and the expertise that has to be
maintained -- keeping security costs and complexity down.
StreamClean keeps an eye on the external malicious hacker, but it also
watches the other 70% of the problem. StreamClean can look at the
internal networks and what each employee is doing. It can detect
internal users attempting to get at privileged information, or even
detect a machine which has a spreading virus, and shut them down.
Mainstream Security Services also provides remote monitoring and
maintenance through its Security Operations Center. The information
being fed into the local aggregation server is also fed to
StreamClean's SOC. These systems let security analyst teams
prioritize their investigations to respond to the real, and most
imminent threats first. With Mainstream corporate network security
staff can manage threats from early detection to final resolution with
the help of Mainstream's experts, or let Mainstream handle it
themselves.
