The Best Security Technology Innovations of 2016

Boucherle’s Pick: PacketViper Network Security

The PV-100 couldn’t have arrived at a better time as massive flooding, DDoS and perimeter cybersecurity attacks are at an unprecedented scale. When nation state cyberattacks come knocking, they have some serious horsepower, and poorly designed IoT devices don’t help. Have you upped your game?

This is advanced IP filtering software that looks at inbound/ outbound traffic, by port, bi-directionally, by company and country. Deter-mining threat vectors faster from aggressive bot and proxy attacks reduces the IT workload of responding to logs and alerts during a busy work day. Active filtering can reduce traffic levels by 70%, the manufacturer claims.

Less traffic equals faster and safer networks for campus operations. This solution sits in front of your firewall and has easily configured filtering rules. The PV-100 is a midsize box with a 1U rack-mount design, 2.9GHz dual-core 3M L3 cache processor, 4GB RAM, 500GB 7.2K SATA HDD powered by a 260W power supply. There is a smaller and larger version, but I think this one is just right. packetviper.com
