Web Security

Just connecting to the internet or using email can make your company a target for hackers bent on spreading viruses or stealing confidential data.

Protecting your systems from attack is an ongoing responsibility, not a one-time event. Most vulnerability solutions in the market today conduct periodic vulnerability scans. Catbird Networks’ continuous monitoring is different.

To lock down your internal computers and externally exposed systems, Catbird Networks' Intelligent Vulnerability Monitoring goes beyond traditional vulnerability assessment and monitors your network every day, all year long. This is effectively an audit of your security installations 365 days a year.

Moreover, the Catbird solution is intelligent, establishing an initial baseline configuration and sending instant notifications if there are a ny subsequent deviations from this baseline. This approach yields significantly faster scans, with significantly more comprehensive historical data. Security administrators take immediate action while also maintaining an archive of their activities, invaluable for later reviews with management or industry audits.

Real protection requires constant surveillance. Catbird is the only solution in the industry that continually watches your network while also monitoring the vulnerability advisories. If your network changes, we take action. If a new vulnerability is released, we take action. We provide vulnerability protection to keep you locked down every day of the year.

Types of Vulnerability Scans

Catbird’s Intelligent Vulnerability Monitor is unique in scanning for vulnerabilities introduced within the customer’s own network, as well as those originating from the public Internet. Catbird scans both the public Internet-facing ports (External Scan) as well as the private ports that are exposed only in the customer’s own LAN (Internal Scan).

In addition, for efficiency and ultimate security, Catbird also provides two kinds of scanning of external ports: a Complete Scan or a Range Scan. A Complete Scan will scan all 65K ports and is typically used for IP addresses which are in use and which face the public Internet. A Range Scan will scan only the “well-known” ports (i.e., port 80 for http traffic, port 25 for mail traffic, or whatever an administrator designates). A Range Scan would typically be used to check unused IP addresses allocated to a customer to make sure they are not being exploited.
