Demonstrations of Endace Application Dock and Panel Discussion about Changing Role of IDS are Agenda Items for Endace At RSA 2011
While CTO Stuart Wilson Contributes to Speaking Session on the Future of IDS, Company Highlights Endace Application Dock as Base Platform for Any Network Security Application
San Francisco—RSA Conference 2011 (Booth 1039) — Endace (LSE: EDA), world leaders in high-speed, packet capture and analysis platforms, today noted a panel discussion featuring Chief Technology Officer Stuart Wilson as being among the various company activities planned for the upcoming RSA Conference 2011, taking place February 14 to 18 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco.
The panel session, titled “IDS Is Dead. Long Live IDS!” will review the current state of the IDS market. During the panel, Wilson will discuss how IDS systems are an example of a security technology that is greatly enhanced by Endace’s 100-percent packet capture technology. The panel will be moderated by Dark Reading Senior Editor Kelly Jackson Higgins and includes Matt Jonkman from the OISF and Richard Steinnon from IT Harvest. It will be held Wednesday, February 16 at 10 a.m. PST in Orange Room 307.
At the company’s booth (1039), representatives from Endace will be demonstrating its recently announced Endace Application Dock™, which allows network security application providers to run their applications on Endace’s proven 100-percent accurate packet capture platform. Endace’s Application Dock provides organizations with the first true multi-application hosting environment for network security and monitoring applications where a 100 percent accurate stream of captured traffic can be shared between a number of different applications running locally on an Endace System.
“A number of significant IT security software vendors have already expressed interested in the Endace Application Dock, because they see how 100-percent packet capture can enhance the accuracy and the performance of their applications,” said Wilson. “In the wake of recent malicious attacks on the NASDAQ stock exchange and other very public security breaches, the requirement for a robust, scalable and powerful platform that delivers a stream of 100 percent accurate packets to a range of security and monitoring applications all coexisting on the same platform has never been greater.”
Endace’s technology has been proven to capture 100 percent of packets even at speeds up to 40 gigabits per second. A number of analytics, monitoring, security, forensic and measurement tools have already been approved to run in the Application Dock, with a long list of additional applications to be added during 2011 through the Dock Application Partner Program, which Endace will be actively promoting at the show.
