Riverhead Networks Delivers New Management, Monitoring and Reporting Capabilities for DDoS Attack Detection & Mitigation

CUPERTINO, CA (ots)

MVP/OS v3.0 Features Multiple Levels of Monitoring and Reporting, 
   New Graphical User Interface, Riverhead-Specific SNMP MIB
Riverhead Networks™, a leading provider of solutions designed
to block distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks to preserve
business continuity for ISPs, data centers and large enterprises,
today announced the next generation of its MVP/OS operating system
that provides network operators, security administrators and users
with detailed insight into how the Riverhead solutions are protecting
the business infrastructure.
The MVP/OS v3.0 delivers multiple levels of monitoring and
statistical reports, providing users with high-level summaries
showing the current status of Riverhead-protected zones down to
individual attack-level reports that offer specific details about a
particular event. With these real-time and historical statistics,
delivered via an easy-to-use interface, operators can monitor attack
activity to understand which protected zones are being targeted,
review responses to and confirm protection against individual
attacks, and compile reports that show how the system has performed
over time.
"At the same time that enterprises are increasing the dependence
of the business on Internet-connected applications and services, the
Internet is the origin of a growing number of DDoS attacks," said
Eric Hemmendinger, research director for security and privacy at
Aberdeen Group. "The ability to quickly identify and respond to these
attacks is critical to keeping the Internet-connected assets online
for servicing customers. Riverhead's new generation of software
accelerates the identification, response and resolution of the
attacks, even in multi-gigabit class networks."
Riverhead Family Management
The MVP/OS v3.0 dramatically simplifies device management, 
configuration and operations for both the new Riverhead Guard™ XT 
and the Riverhead Detector™ XT, as well as the existing Riverhead 
Guard and Riverhead Detector. The MVP/OS v3.0 also offers a command 
line interface (CLI) for device management and monitoring, 
providing additional interface options.
Monitoring & Reporting
Real-time device and protected zone monitoring provide at-a-glance
overviews that allow network and security operations staff to 
immediately assess the status of all devices and zones currently 
under protection. Summary reports include a list of current and 
recent attacks, their associated characteristics, and the 
mitigation responses employed, enabling rapid verification of 
operations and providing critical information required to make any 
necessary adjustments.
Drill-down attack reports offer details about specific attacks in
a given zone, including attack characteristics, identified zombies
and defenses deployed, helping security experts track attack sources
and determine optimal responses for future attacks. The reports can
also reveal trends that help users prepare for future attacks, make
informed capacity planning decisions, and adjust configurations and
policies in other security and network devices. An interactive mode
allows users to review and approve defensive measures and correlated
policies recommended by the system before they are enacted to
maintain a level of manual control.
Customer-level historical reports enable IT administrators and 
service providers to show their customers how they have 
successfully protected them from attacks.
Standards-based Management
The MVP/OS v3.0 also supports industry standards that enable the 
Riverhead solutions to integrate with existing operational 
management tools. A Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) 
management information base (MIB) makes all device-, protected zone-,
and attack-level statistics available to standards-based 
management solutions. Support for additional interfaces to TACACS+ 
authentication and syslog servers contribute to complete, standards-
based manageability.
About Riverhead Networks
Riverhead's solutions defend networks against crippling DDoS and 
worm attacks, securing Internet availability. By identifying and 
filtering out malicious traffic, the company's security systems 
ensure business continuity for ISPs, hosting centers and large 
enterprises, maintaining network and server availability for 
legitimate users.
Riverhead's patent-pending Multi-Verification Process™ (MVP) 
architecture automatically blocks attack packets and forwards real 
customer transactions, without relying on other network 
devices. "Dynamic diversion" enables Riverhead to redirect only 
traffic flowing towards a targeted resource through the Riverhead 
Guard to block malicious packets, maximizing scalability and 
reliability benefits.
