Attack Blocker Technical Specifications

Attack Blocker protects your network because it does the following:

  • Sanitizes all packets that the VistaWiz Server receives, and eliminates all packet-based attacks- you do not need to configure any settings because this packet-cleaning is a built-in function
  • Protects against lower-level networking attacks
  • Protects against Denial Of Service (DOS) attacks

Under The Hood

Attack Blocker uses VistaWiz's patent-pending, proprietary technology. Attack Blocker observes the behavior of computers that access your protected network, and quickly assigns the host a good or bad reputation. Attack Blocker deems a computer to be aggressive or bad if it performs attacks, SYN flooding, or port scanning. Aggressive computers quickly earn bad reputations, and Attack Blocker eventually limits, drops, or rejects these computers access to your network.

Using this technique, Attack Blocker can mitigate Denial Of Service and Distributed Denial Of Service attacks. Attack Blocker also deconstructs each packet that enters the VistaWiz Server and reconstructs a new, trusted packet using the same data, eliminating all packet-layer attacks.


What It Does

Protects you network from attack 


How It Does It 

Uses VistaWiz's patent-pending technology to profile computers interacting with your network to determine the risk of attack, and then limits, drops or rejects access from attackers


Controls 

You can create exception lists to designate specific hosts or networks as unlikely to attack Â
