ActiveScout Features



ActiveScout's patented Active Response technology provides intelligence to dynamically protect the perimeter against threats. This adaptive capability enables the accurate assessment of attackers in real-time, allowing blocking to be automatic.
  • Absolute accuracy
    ActiveScout accurately detects attackers through early stage identification of their pre-attack activity. The broad reconnaissance detection capabilities of ActiveScout ensure no pre-attack activity goes unnoticed, enabling even the most sophisticated and intelligent attackers to be stopped.

    ActiveScout is able to identify "low and slow" scans even when carried out with a considerable amount of time between each step, track attackers who change IP addresses, and detect attackers who avoid scanning and attempt to find available resources by launching mass attacks at multiple targets.

  • Actionable data
    ActiveScout detects and automatically blocks active threats such as self-propagating malware, espionage, and malicious hacker attacks in real-time. ActiveScout appliance seamlessly integrates with firewalls to enable immediate containment from active threats.

  • Automated response
    ActiveScout's "detect and protect" mechanism is 100 percent automatic. It requires no prior knowledge of the attack to provide an unparalleled level of protection against "zero-day" threats. Because the ActiveScout appliance does not sit in-line, there is zero latency and zero point of failure. ActiveScout requires virtually no human management, which significantly reduces TCO.
