The Wedge Absolute Real-time Protection™ Series (WedgeARP) sets new industry benchmarks for performance and EverGreen Security™ with a family of virtualized and self orchestrated products to protect your network in real-time, with unbounded innovation.
Wedge Absolute Real-time Protection – WedgeARP™, has the deepest visibility of network data in the industry; possessing an unmatched ability to defend against malicious attacks that are undetectable with shallow inspection techniques. It delivers the highest real-time performance through a software implementation that is portable to all x86 servers.
Trained with nearly 1 billion threat samples, its automated and continually learning embedded artificial neural network can detect never-before-seen malware in milliseconds. As an orchestrated threat management platform, it is a novel approach that provides real-time large scale security implementations with effective threat management services.
At the heart of WedgeARP is Wedge’s patented Security Orchestrator (WedgeSO™). WedgeSO is the proverbial warp drive of the WedgeARP series. WedgeARP virtual or physical appliances are placed inline with the flow of traffic entering and leaving the enterprise network, datacenter, or partitioned sub network to inspect and secure data in motion.
As traffic flows, the WedgeSO engine inspects packets and packet payloads, and reconstructs the full file content in real-time using a combination of deep packet inspection (DPI) and deep content inspection (DCI). The content is then scanned and analysed with a series of virtualized network security functions which are subscribed to separately to provide specific security services. This real-time visibility to packets and fully reconstructed content sets the stage for accurate detection and blocking of conventional and advanced threats, as well as enforcement of specified security policies.
WedgeSO’s onboard orchestrator service chains the flow of content through multiple virtualized network functions, each of which may be comprised of a single or numerous instances to support the parallel processing with maximum performance. The orchestrator also monitors the work loads and dynamically allocates and manages the available pool of x86 server memory and compute resources to sustain optimal performance with maximum efficiency.
WedgeSO also applies multiple patented techniques to process security services with industry leading security performance and scale to maximize security and network performance.
Advanced threats have become so evasive that conventional anti-virus and anti-malware technologies have proven to be insufficient. Wedge Advanced Malware Blocker™ (WedgeAMB™) delivers the most effective, real-time, network level malware prevention available. It blocks conventional and advanced viruses and malware, including those that currently pass through industry leading next generation firewalls and intrusion prevention systems. It also provides actionable threat intelligence of the network-wide threat landscape to focus limited resources on the most critical threats.
When your employees are working outside of your well-fortified corporate castle, they are not protected by all the expensive defenses that your organization has installed over the years:
Wedge’s Secure Home Office solution – partnering with Microsoft Azure and powered by the Wedge Absolute Real-time Protection™ (WedgeARP™) platform – is a cloud-managed, cloud-enforced security service offering that provides a vast array of optimized Security-as-a-Service (SECaaS) features not typically available to SMEs and work from home (WFH) users. It enables effective security solutions for any Cloud-connected computing devices; providing scalability, flexibility and accuracy for SMEs and home users while still maintaining privacy.
With an average of more than 1 million new and customized variants of malware produced daily, many of the threats blocked by WedgeAMB have not yet been executed, characterized, and published by third parties. Wedge Malware Analyzer™ (WedgeMA™) is an optional cloud-based service which automatically detonates and evaluates web pages and files that are blocked by WedgeAMB and marked as suspicious, but are unconfirmed as malware. WedgeMA provides security operations teams with detailed reports which characterize the observed actions and probable intended behaviours of new malware for increased threat intelligence. It also identifies false positives and updates the database to enable safe files and web pages to be immediately accessed for future requests.
