INVEA-TECH FlowMon Solves Security Concerns of BYOD Concept

Brno, Czech Republic, March 21, 2013 --(PR.com)-- The usual perception of network perimeter changed as new devices (smart mobile phones, tablets, etc.) are being connected to corporate IT infrastructures. We refer to Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) as a concept that is gradually being accepting by corporate management and that represents one of the biggest challenges these days. IT and security managers expect the security solutions to follow this change and help them to deal with BYOD issues. Traditional perimeter protection does not help to identify non-approved devices and fail to identify malicious activities in corporate networks. Common host based protection and security systems have to be installed on each device in the network, moreover there has to be a software client available for each platform. None of these limitations apply to innovative network monitoring and traffic analysis systems that operate on the network level with no need to install anything on any computer in the corporate network. INVEA-TECH innovative FlowMon Solution implements the network centric approach and therefore matches with BYOD concept perfectly.

FlowMon Collector comes with new “Active Devices” database to track all devices connected to corporate network, identify their vendors and maintain the long-term IP address assignment history by DHCP or static change of IP address. All the information is gathered from network traffic, there is no dependency on DHCP or NAC systems. These features significantly improve network operations and security and help to handle the BYOD concept properly.

Pavel Minarik, CTO of INVEA-TECH, explains the “Active Devices” monitoring concept: “Just one packet is enough to recognize a new device in the network. Stealing an IP address or using dynamic address configuration does not help to hide. Due to the multi-layer traffic visibility we are able to track any device connected to corporate network. Moreover the built-in Active Devices database keeps the history of IP address assignment to individual devices."
