To render Blockware and Attaka Indoor managed security services, Openware has a remote sensor called “The Block”. It will reside at the client's location, acting as the company's alarm, attack and security state repository, and a centralized supervision and monitoring platform will process and analyze the data submitted by this sensor
 

 
“The Block” has a status or failure alarm auto-reporting capability, which enables fast alarm check-up. It is also equipped with a double control and security mechanism that renders it immune to over 90% of the problems that internet security devices normally experience.
In the managed security service contract, “The Block”; firmware upgrades are implicit. These upgrades consist of new services, and also fixes and updates on existing functionalities and new attack patterns. These upgrades enable an automatic update of registries with new attack types and worm patterns, in order to keep the ecosystem alive when faced with new insecurities.
For high-availability solutions, “The Block” a 24/7 “The Block” part replacement service is also at your disposal.

 

Functionalities

• Always up-to-date: periodically updated, including improvements and new attack patterns.
• Impenetrable: can only be accessed from Openware’s Security Operation Center (SOC), and managed by authorized personnel.
• Low impact: does not overload clients' network traffic or Internet links.
• Flexible: can complement other security devices (firewalls) already working, or replace them providing complex functions
• Simple installation: transparent installation in front panel takes no more than 15 minutes and does not require installing agents in any server.
• Integrated: it integrates with Openware’s managed security ecosystem, through monitoring and centralized platform (Blockware)
• Integrated: it integrates with Openware’s managed security ecosystem, through monitoring and centralized platform (Blockware).
• High performance: high performance and throughput, allowing high-speed data processing without loss or bottlenecks.
