Cyberalarm is a Network Intrusion Detection System (NIDS) that analyses network traffic to detect misconfigurations and cyberattacks. With the latest update, the product can also help resolve any found threats. The previous version was still effective at alerting risks but offered little to no support for resolving attacks and misconfigurations.
The solution’s new dashboard allows users to see in real-time and at a glance which threats are currently playing. These threats are analysed and reported before the product proposes appropriate actions to deal with them.
There are two available versions of Cyberalarm, namely a version for small and medium-sized companies (SMEs) and a version for enterprises. The SME version is a mini appliance, while the enterprise version runs on a server. Both versions can scan network traffic for suspicious packets and misconfigurations and generate an alert when malicious traffic is detected.
