Sentriant NG300 is a security appliance that secures the network interior against rapidly propagating threats, such as virus or worm storms. Designed to protect the network from old and new virus or worm attacks, Sentriant NG300 can reduce threat mitigation time down to seconds. Sentriant NG300 uses behavior-based threat detection methods (no signatures, no traffic sampling as in sFlow) to detect threats - including new threats for which no signatures exist at the time of attack. It also includes a sophisticated early warning system that employs unused IP space to identify threats. This appliance is designed to complement existing perimeter and endpoint security solutions.Sentriant NG300 incorporates a unique threat termination technology called Cloaking. Cloaking is an aggressive, protocol independent, automated threat termination capability that does not use software desktop agents, TCP resets, or switch-dependent VLAN shunting to compartmentalize an infected endpoint. When used in conjunction with Extreme Networks switches, Sentriant NG300 offers unparalleled multi-gigabit security across all enterprise endpoints. Unlike other internal LAN security systems, Sentriant NG300 is not an inline device, which means that it creates no performance impact to networks, and cannot jeopardize network availability.
