Aanval 7 Technology Features

Situational Awareness New in Aanval v7 is our unique Situational Awareness engine, which provides an in-depth event and architecture analysis of the host network. Situational Awareness allows analysts to quickly identify which specific host devices, services, and approximate areas of the network that are most at risk and which are more likely to be a problem in the future. Define devices, services, ports, and protocols supported on within your environment and let Aanval build detailed summaries of your networks security posture and current risks. Tactical FLEX, Inc. is focused on creating new and meaningful methods of automated data analysis to help security departments quickly, efficiently, and accurately identify risk patterns. False Positive Protection Aanval includes a powerful event validation engine that performs real-time analyses of events against customizable network, device, and service definitions. Aanval v7s event validation engine automatically tags and filters events to help keep the false positives from overpowering true risks, allowing analysts and engineers to focus and get back to protecting the network. Correlation Aanval includes a fully integrated event management and attack data correlation engine. Aanval compares and correlates attacks in real-time and provides easy-on-the-eyes charts and visual representations of related attack data across both Snort and syslog sourced data. Using every detail of a normalized event, Aanval compares events against one another as well as groups of events to identify complex attack patterns or determine if a single attack may or may not be related to larger attacks happening within the same timeframe. Correlation is performed in both real-time and on-demand, allowing analysts to select an event and see which events may be

related. GeoLocation Aanval v7 includes a powerful new mapping framework that gives us the ability to do some pretty impressive geolocation plotting. Visualize attack data based on source destination, risk level, and quantity of eventsand all of this plotted on a fully interactive map of the world. View various geolocation-based displays including our real-time Live GeoLocation display as well as newly updated Frequent Offenders and Frequent Attacks displays. Know precisely where your network threats originate! Zoom, drag, and hover your mouse for details on both static and real-time geolocation details. Advanced Displays Dozens of displays provide analysts limitless viewing attack data and events. designed to with near angles of correlated

Events sorted and graphed by risk, signature statistics, and interactive timelines are only a few of the powerful new features. Additionally, Aanval also includes powerful IP GeoLocation details to allow analysts to quickly identify attack proximity for complete situational awareness. Tagging Aanval v7 brings about the addition of a very powerful event tagging system, which allows users as well as teams to tag events with an unlimited number of keywords that may define various characteristics of an intrusion event. Default tags are provided and each user can create their own set of custom tags; they can be added to events or through the automated action system as events are imported and normalized. Searching and reporting by tags is supported and tag statistics displays are included as well.

Timeline Browser The analysts brain is very much tied to a timeline of events when mitigating an ongoing attack or investigating historical event results. Aanval includes advanced new timeline-based charts and graphs in addition to our standard sets. This graphing ability allows an analyst to see data from new angles and identify patterns that may have previously gone unnoticed. Charts and graphs are JavaScript-based, enabling them to work on all desktop and mobile platforms. Storage Significant research and intense development of Aanval v7 brings about the ability to store nearly an unlimited number of events within the console. As long as disk space is available, event storage continues without affecting performance. Deployed installations with more than one billion events are not uncommon. Data can be stored locally or remotely and remains easily accessible for searching, reporting, and statistics. View and Respond to Events in Real-Time Not only does Aanval process incoming data and make it available in real time, Aanval provides multiple advanced real-time event and statistics displays to help users grasp current security and situational awareness. Aanval v7 includes significant updates and enhancements to our popular Live Event Monitor. Advanced Search Search results and correlation displays, in addition to being extremely powerful, are quick, simple, and efficient. F i n d t a rg e t e d e v e n t s u s i n g specific meta-data criteria as well as perform full clear test searches of all event fields including payload data for both Snort and syslog. Aanval also supports a wide range of custom search keywords to locate events based upon time periods, risk level, relations to one another, and more.

Our charts and graphs are based on industry-standard JavaScript technology, ensuring they are equally and impressively displayed on all desktop and mobile devices. Snort Signature Management Aanval supports Snort signatures from any current source including signatures created and deployed by Sourcefire as well as Emerging Threats. Aanval users may create and manage Snort signature policies that can be deployed manually or automatically across single- and multiple-sensor architectures. Aanval allows users to download signature packs directly from snort.org as well as any of the widely available custom signature packs on the Internet. Automated Actions Aanval includes a sophisticated criteria-based event action system, which reacts to incoming events in real-time. Our sophisticated actions module is capable of sending emails, generating audio alerts, performing maintenance, and even executing customized shell scripts to do just about anything. Many clients build and deploy advanced action scripts to update firewall rules, generate custom statistics, and even trigger remote operations. Event Details Aanval provides a consistent layout for all event details regardless of source (Snort or syslog data). Aanval displays appropriate network layer details, protocols, fully encoded/decoded payload, as well as the signature that triggered the event. External network address lookups can be done with a single click. Tagging events and adding notes are among the various features of the event details display.
