SafeMedia offers an intelligent, inline network Intrusion Prevention Appliance to organizations of all sizes providing protection across the network, safeguarding the perimeter, critical internal assets, data, remote users, customers, and partners.

The existing security infrastructure is no longer sufficient to protect against today’s cyber threats: In the past 2 years, a major security gap was created by the ever-expanding use of circumventing proxies and file-sharing applications deploying encryption, obfuscation, and distributed hash table (DHT) routing. Those technologies were designed to bypass your current security systems and render such security systems ineffective. The immense increase of those invasive technologies has created a massive threat to networks and led to an unprecedented increase of information breaches, hacker's attacks, Botnets, non-legal compliance, reduction of legal protection, waste of bandwidth, network congestion in addition to massive digital piracy (As confirmed by every day news).

Ensuring maximum protection for critical IT and business assets while allowing full access to legitimate users and applications: Clouseau® is the embodiment of several new technologies developed by SafeMedia that represent a new era in internet security and pave the way of massive change in firewall and intrusion prevention technologies from the crude and inaccurate approach of blocking IP's and ports to a drastically effective and elegant technology using application and protocol behavior technology. The hole in your firewall!

Clouseau® provides intrusion prevention from encrypted, DHT routed packets originated by circumventing proxies, P2P Botnets, and peer-to-peer applications. Clouseau® provides your organization with a must have "Intrusion-Prevention-Vault" (IPV), where firewalls, other intrusion detection/ prevention systems and all other web or applications based security systems cannot provide because of their design limitation and technology deficiencies.

Clouseau® provides Robust Protection without Sacrificing Network and Application Performance: Clouseau® delivers high levels of inline protection at industry- leading performance levels while minimizing latency, a critical factor when deploying security devices in a network.

Intrusion-Prevention-Vault (IPV): Port 80 and 443 are ports generally associated with "the Internet". Both ports, are generally open on any filtering/security device allowing traffic outbound or inbound on your network.. They are also two ports that pose significant threats to your network. The reality is that more often than not, the threat will come from people on your network surfing the web. P2P software automatically defaults to port 80 if the primary port is not available. Port 443.carry encrypted traffic which means that your security devices can’t read it. All Your other network security tools are blind to what is there. The same applies to port 80 if the application uses encryption, obfuscation, and DHT routed.

Intrusion-Prevention-Vault by Clouseau solves this problem. By using advanced behavioral analyses for protocols, which uses port 80 and 443 or any other port. Clouseau®, capture in real-time circumventing proxies, P2P Botnets, and peer-to-peer applications, which uses encryption, obfuscation, and DHT routing.

Additionally the Intrusion-Prevention-Vault prohibits Botnets and Malware originated by circumventing proxies, P2P Botnets, and peer-to-peer applications:. Malware includes viruses, malicious Trojan horse software, spyware, destructive digital bots and hijacking programs. Clouseau® provides network security with an important protection against Botnets when downloaded through P2P applications. How Botnets reached your system and how you can eliminate its impact.

Data Loss Prevention and Information Breach: Clouseau® eliminates the invasive behavior of file-sharing applications and circumventing proxies that leak computerized medical records (HIPAA), financial and legal clients’ information (sarbanes-oxley) and confidential business information to the internet and P2P networks. Data Loss Prevention and Information Breach.

Legal Compliance: Clouseau® provides for the best security solutions by enforcing the security policy of legal compliance on your network. By prohibiting users on your network from downloading unauthorized digital files and the sharing of copyrighted files via P2P applications. Legal Compliance.

Network Optimization: Reduce bandwidth consumption, delays, and congestion in your network. Clouseau® enforces a policy of prohibiting the unauthorized download of copyrighted material such as movies and music files that are often very large (Gigabytes) and consume all the available bandwidth within your network. In addition, Clouseau® prohibits the invasive and freeloading behavior of P2P applications, which allows other users to use your organization's bandwidth for their own benefit, even if the P2P application is not active.Network Optimization.

Legal Protection: Clouseau® prohibits the invasive and deceiving behavior of P2P applications that store files or portion of files without authorization from your network user's machines. Most of these files are encrypted and include digital material, such as child porn, which may lead to criminal prosecution, statutory damages, forfeiture of network equipment and victim's restitution. Legal Protection.

Improve Employee Productivity: Clouseau® disallows the use of non-business related P2P applications within your network! Employees spend a significant amount of time using P2P file sharing systems during business hours, thus leading to an inevitable loss in productivity. Most organizations established policies for computer security by prohibiting the use of P2P during business hours or within the organization's network. However, those organizations have failed to implement a system that enforces this security policy. Clouseau® enforces the organization's security policy of not using P2P! Employee Productivity.
