IXIA ThreatARMOR
Solution Description
Help Protect from Zero Day Malware Mutations
ThreatARMOR™ cuts straight to the core of the problem by automatically blocking much of the network communication that malware needs to download instructions or transmit sensitive data. It prevents network probes, phishing clicks, and all traffic to and from untrusted countries. This reduces the risk from attacks such as zero-day ransomware mutations along with up to 80% of the malicious connections that threaten the network and generate floods of security alerts. Ixia’s ATI Research Center provides an always-on stream of geolocation and threat intelligence for ThreatARMOR—individually validating every single blocked IP address, every single day. Detailed Rap Sheets provide clear, on-screen proof of malicious activity for all blocked sites to mitigate the risk of false positives.

Use Case
ThreatARMOR is unique
Next-gen firewalls are great at DPI and threat detection, but they are not optimized for massive-scale blocking of malicious, hijacked, and untrusted IP addresses. Even if they can import a threat intelligence feed, their performance suffers dramatically when trying to block the tens of millions of IP addresses in the Rap Sheet database. ThreatARMOR complements next-gen firewalls by offloading massive-scale blocking so that they can allocate more resources to content inspection, user policies, VPN termination, and other features while generating fewer security alerts.
