Aheesa™ SPADE (Secure, Protect And Defend against External Threats) agents designed to gather, fingerprint, tag and store information in real time. Some of the activities performed by SPADE agents are:
Each network data, flow and packet is analysed and parameters are fingerprinted and tagged with network, user, group, branch and org level details. Deep packet inspection (DPI) provides 100% visibility over the network by transforming the raw packet into a readable format by capturing all information from L2 to L7 and enabling network and security managers to drill down to the minutest details of the network. Aheesa SPADE DPI agent parametrises and segments the packet into 140+ attributes such as:
Spade Agents can fully identify common Internet applications, such as P2P download, IM instant messaging, online video, stocks, games and so on, which often results in Internet bandwidth abuse. With Bandwidth throttling & management agent, users can effectively curb various applications snatch valuable bandwidth and IT resources, thereby ensuring the rational allocation and quality of business-critical network resources, and significantly improve the overall performance of the network.
With AAA agent, network access is restricted by user authentication. User access to the network is controlled by time, bandwidth and working days. Separate policies can be adopted for various category of employees and contractors. The network access for any device is restricted, whether in corporate network or not, unless the user is authenticated and works as ideal AAA system for BYOD and WorkFromHome scenarios
DCM agent captures inventory of the system and provides access for remote configuration and firmware upgradation. Lends its flexible to easily integrate with OSS and BSS. In addition SPADE SNMP agents can be deployed to collects all SNMP data across heterogeneous devices and has built-in trap receiver to process and take actions in the edge. SNMP helps to detect threshold-based volumetric attacks and with valid configuration the Internet Traffic could be automatically redirected to cloud scrubbing centres when under attack. SNMP provides minimal impact on the device’s configuration and works with pretty much any network device and vendor.
SHM agent tracks the health of the device and sends the vital data such as CPU, Network, Disk, Memory and process utilization at regular intervals. The built-in diagnostic tools help to measure system and network performance including jitters etc
Automatically collects, classifies and store logs from networked devices and visualize the data in various timelines, grouping and formats using UNV corporate
Custom SPADE Edge agents can be developed based on the needs and functionality required.
