Skybox Security, a global provider of proactive security management solutions, has unveiled Skybox Network Assurance 6.0, a powerful solution for continuous monitoring of network infrastructures.

Officials with Skybox Security said that Network Assurance 6.0 provides security managers immediate situational awareness of potential threats to the network infrastructure, and can interact with complex security information through an intuitive network map interface.

“Large enterprise networks have millions of combinations of access points and network nodes and companies need ultra-efficient security tools to keep an eye on every route through the network,” said Gidi Cohen, CEO of Skybox Security, in a statement. Cohen said that Skybox Network Assurance is essential for continuous monitoring of network security, compliance, and availability.

Company officials claimed that Skybox Network Assurance 6.0 delivers high-performance network modeling and access path analysis, making it possible to check the configurations of thousands of network devices and provide answers to complex network access questions in seconds.

According to company officials, Skybox Network Assurance 6.0 provides intuitive map-based controls, making it easy for network security managers to examine network topology from a birds-eye view or at the detailed device level.

Earlier in January, Skybox Security had announced Skybox Risk Control 6.0, featuring enhancements that help businesses understand complex cyber security situations and act quickly to minimize risks that can lead to cyber-attacks and data breaches.

These enhancements include: new dashboard views that show risk exposures, multi-step attack scenarios, risk metrics by network region, and granular control of access to sensitive risk information.

Skybox Risk Control combines information about software vulnerabilities, network infrastructure, information assets, and threats into a consolidated view of cyber security risks and also automates the steps needed to prioritize vulnerabilities according to risk level to important information assets. It then provides immediate visibility into which patches have the greatest effect on reducing risk level and which cyber-threats pose the most danger to a specific network.
