Description By creating a new account, users automatically get access to a 14-day trial of the Commercial version of our product with EmergingThreats community rules or SourceFire VRT rules. After 14 days, some of the features will drop off and the user will enjoy free access to the community version (no questions asked). This option is a comprehensive, enterprise-ready Security as a Service solution that allows organizations to quickly become security compliant by pushing all security events and system logs to the MetaFlows cloud infrastructure. Advanced Malware Detection, Automatic, daily security intelligence feeds, and leading-edge correlation technologies work behind the scenes to simplify event analysis and prioritization. Automated daily reports, hourly email alerts and a very sophisticated browser-based, forensic toolbox make this option one of the most powerful network security monitoring product in the industry.
Run an event storage cloud infrastructure rather than offloading the storage to MetaFlows. Enterprises should choose this option if they want to deploy hundreds of senors and have deep technical resources to manage their own Malware rule set distributions and network intelligence feeds. In this type of deployment, MetaFlows provides all software and integration support in addition to daily Malware intelligence feeds originating from our network of honeypots and all of our partners.
Note The MSS sensor software can run on Linux (CentOS 6 preferred) or as a virtual machine using VMware and can process 6000-7000 rules @500-800 Mbps with an Intel I7 950 processor or @3-5 Gbps with a dual Xeon system. The Commercial Option features are available for free for the first 14 days afters a user creates a MetaFlows account. The commercial subscription can then be purchased at the end of the trial by adding payment information.
