NFR repeats top honors in intrusion prevention

NFR's Sentivist 4.0, with its Confidence Indexing for assessing threats, ease of use and reporting capabilities, impressed us sufficiently to be named our Hot Pick in November 2004. Sentivist 5.0 takes the product to another level and has again earned the honor. It's suitable for any sized organization, with environment-aware attack assessment, vulnerability scanning, data integration, ad hoc reporting and a revamped interface.

The enterprise value of Sentivist's architecture is its ability to scale to thousands of sensors with the same level of protection deployed to all network segments. Its scalability is supported by a three-tier architecture: management, sensors and database (which can be either MySQL for smaller implementations or Oracle for larger enterprises).

In complex enterprises deploying tens or hundreds of sensors, an intermediate "sensor server" can be used to handle some of the correlation before data is packaged and transmitted to the central database. This data handling layer is also ideal for multinational or geographically dispersed corporations. Hot Pick: NFR repeats top honors in intrusion prevention
