The MSS better meets your security needs:

Our software monitors your network traffic to detect and prevent security problems. Security event messages are exported to the MetaFlows’ cloud infrastructure where they become available for secure browsing. The advantage of this architecture is that security event data can be globally and anonymously correlated in the MetaFlows cloud to give you much better security awareness. Once malicious activity is detected, it can be easily shut down using our powerful web-based forensic interface.

The MSS runs on: Linux CentOS/RedHat, VMware (Server/Player or ESX4) or Amazon EC2 (Windows Server 2008 and Linux CentOS instances)

How it works

The software-as-a-service (SaaS) model is revolutionizing the software industry because it reduces complexity and cuts costs while increases productivity and online collaboration. MetaFlows has pioneered the application of this concept to network security monitoring resulting in a novel, ground-breaking Security-as-a-Service (SecaaS) product. In addition to lowering costs, The MSS also delivers functional benefits. By moving to the cloud, MetaFlows’ customers can now rank security events according to global statistics across administrative domains rather than exclusively static, local policies.

The MetaFlows Security System (MSS) sensor software runs in the customer’s network to monitor the local traffic. The MSS securely exports security event messages to the MetaFlows cloud and stores packet logs on the local sensor’s disk. In our system this separation is very strict; the MetaFlows Cloud will always only contain security event messages and the local disk will always only contain packet logs. This division makes cloud-based security event monitoring much more practical. Very sensitive payload data contained in the packet logs is protected by the customer’s own network security infrastructure inside the sensor (usually placed behind a firewall). The security event messages are stored in the MetaFlows cloud using a highly secure cloud infrastructure (Amazon EC2) that makes these records highly available and as secure as your bank account records. The advantage of this architecture is that security event data can be globally and anonymously correlated in the MetaFlows cloud to give you much better security without jeopardizing data confidentiality in any way.
