ThreatARMOR
Keysight Technologies
Next-gen firewalls are great at DPI and threat detection, but they are not optimized for blocking malicious, hijacked, and untrusted IP addresses at massive scale. Even if they can import a threat intelligence feed, trying to block the tens of millions of IP addresses in a threat database isn't possible without significant latency and performance impact. 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.
