Salient Federal Solutions, Inc. (Salient) will showcase a new joint solution with CloudShield®, a wholly owned subsidiary of SAIC, at the RSA Conference in San Francisco from Feb. 25 to March 1.Salient’s Assure6^TM is a comprehensive cyber security policy gateway that detects and blocks IPv6-based malicious attacks. It utilizes SAIC’s CloudShield Deep Packet Processing technology to strengthen IPv6 security and mitigate risks that are often run unmonitored and unprotected by many organizations.Assure6^TM enables a safe and secure transition from IPv4 to IPv6 by detecting and preventing recognized and new security threats. Assure6^TM also identifies IPv6 traffic that is tunneled through existing IPv4 networks preventing the covert use of IPv6 communications.“IPv6 vulnerabilities are going largely unmonitored and unprotected. Providing IPv6 security is a critical necessity for our government partners, and customers,” says David Helms, Vice President of the Cyber Security Center of Excellence of Salient. “Utilizing CloudShield technology enhances our ability to secure information regardless of traffic type and mitigates the exposure that IPv6 brings.”Newly available on the CloudShield CS-4000 Trusted Network Security Platform, Assure6^TM provides customers a protection, monitoring, and mitigation solution deployed in untrusted locations with minimal loss risk. The cyber platform architecture design is based on solutions validated by the most demanding organizations. The combined solution strengthens an organization’s global security posture with better cost-effectiveness.“Salient Assure6 on the CloudShield CS-4000 delivers a mission-critical tool to the cybersecurity arsenal required by network security professionals as they fulfill mandates to deploy IPv6,” said Randy Brumfield, SVP Cyber Products Division Manager of CloudShield Technologies. “We welcome the opportunity to bring to customers with distributed networks a solution for deployment of IPv6 security in insecure locations.” mirziamov.ru
