SecureData, a member of the JSE-listed ERP.com Group and the southern African enterprise partner for eEye Digital Security, today announced the introduction of version 5.0 of the Iris Network Traffic Analyser.
Iris 5.0 is the latest edition of the eEye's award-winning solution for network traffic management, including protocol decoding, packet reconstruction and the comprehensive reporting of traffic activity.
"This new release continues to demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach to vulnerability management, which has resulted in thousands of customer deployments of Iris around the globe," commented Firas Raouf, eEye's COO.
"By employing the industry's most capable network vulnerability research team, eEye is in the best possible position to parlay this expertise and knowledge into the industry's most advanced network security software. The introduction of Iris 5.0 further demonstrates this capability."
Iris captures network traffic and can automatically reassemble it to its native format, making it much easier to analyse as data moves across the network. Security and IT professionals can read the text of an e-mail exactly as it was sent, reconstruct the exact HTML pages that a user has visited, or even monitor Web-based e-mail traffic and instant messages. Iris also provides a variety of statistical measurements allowing companies to proactively identify - and take the steps to eliminate - performance issues before they can result in downtime.
New features for Iris 5.0
Iris' Traffic Capture Engine has been implemented to now run as a service, allowing security professionals to gather forensic information while performing other tasks in parallel. This approach ensures all targeted traffic is captured, regardless of whether the user is logged in to the actual Iris application or not.
Additionally, Iris' new, intuitive user increases usability and should provide instant ROI by minimising training requirements. Users of other eEye solutions such as Retina and Blink should be able to quickly navigate within Iris upon installation.
