Cymtec Systems Launches Version 2.5 of Cymtec ScoutUnique Intrusion Detection Product Delivers Breakthrough Simplicity of Use and Near-Zero Operational CostsJanuary 1, 2007
St. Louis, Mo. – January 1, 2007 – Cymtec Systems, Inc. today announced the availability of Cymtec Scout™ 2.5, the latest version of its innovative managed Intrusion Detection System (IDS).
Cymtec Scout ensures business continuity and enables compliance reporting. It breaks the mold of traditional IDS tools that drain IT resources for daily log management and frequent updates. Cymtec Scout delivers breakthrough simplicity of use and near-zero setup, deployment and operational costs through a managed services model. A senior LAN administrator at a major manufacturing company explained, “With Cymtec Scout we plugged in the box and 15 minutes later it was correlating the events the way we wanted them. We choose when and why to be alerted, so we don’t spend hours sifting through logs trying to figure out what’s happening. And because we don’t have to maintain the databases, instead of spending 40 hours a week on maintenance I probably spend one hour a month”
Technology is enabling an ever-more connected business world, where individuals and organizations can communicate, share information and collaborate more easily than ever before. But the same technology that helps make businesses more productive also makes them more vulnerable. Hackers are seeking every day to comprise networks.
Cymtec Scout provides instant and comprehensive visibility into security and policy violations as well as a role-based dashboard of emerging risks and trend analyses. The product detects many types of malicious network traffic and computer usage that cannot be detected by a conventional firewall such as network attacks against vulnerable services, data driven attacks on applications, and host-based attacks.
Because Cymtec Scout combines proven dual-NIC technology with the power of the SNORT signature set, it withstands the most severe traffic or attack conditions without the risk of the IDS sensor becoming part of the vulnerability. With a robust Application Service Provider (ASP) back-end plus intuitive tools, interfaces and reporting functions, this unique product delivers:
Cymtec Scout streamlines the compliance process with pre-defined, automated reports for federal, state and industry regulatory requirements. The assistant vice president of a major regional bank commented, “As a privately held organization we have compliance issues with GLB and the Bank Secrecy Act, as well as privacy issues. We rely on the reporting functions in Cymtec Scout to address these requirements.”
Andrew S. Rubin, Co-Founder and President of Cymtec Systems, said, “Whether seeking better network security and/or working towards compliance reporting, you need the best technology and people working to defend your assets. Cymtec Scout provides all the functionality of a robust, internally administered IDS solution. It combines the people, processes and technology to effectively secure your network and ensure business continuity.”
