Core-to-core network security and operational performance specialist Arbor Networks has announced its Active Threat Level Analysis System (ATLAS) Initiative, a multi-stage project to develop the world's first globally scoped threat analysis network with the help of the service provider community.
According to Lynda Odendaal, CEO at Arbor's local business partner, NSS, Arbor will leverage the ATLAS Initiative to introduce a series of products and services, the first of which is a public portal delivering high-level global intelligence.
Odendaal says the ATLAS public portal includes a global threat map, information on top threat sources, a Threat Index covering the state of malicious activity, a Vulnerability Risk Index detailing global vulnerability exploitation, as well as daily summaries of security events and attacks.
The ATLAS Initiative uses a globally distributed darknet sensor network to deliver intelligence on host/port scanning activity, zero-day exploits and worm propagation, security events and vulnerability disclosures and dynamic botnet and phishing infrastructures.
Over the next 18 months, additional products and services will be made available based on this initiative. For further information, call NSS on (011) 519-8600.
