Promia Raven network security appliances now shipping
San Francisco 16 August 2007 Promia Incorporated, a developer of Information Security and Network Monitoring products, has made available its new Promia Raven product line. The Raven appliances are based on the very successful military products known as the "Intelligent Agent Security Manager" system (IASM) and are designed as defensive units to protect data and communication networks in either standalone mode or interconnected in larger enterprise information Grids.

The Promia Raven systems are initially available in two configurations: Raven Model 1100 and Raven UTM which includes a master and multiple remote devices. They both include collection and analysis of low level traffic using Promia's advanced analytic engines, and they both perform asset monitoring and management, as well as asset visualization of all devices on the network. The Raven 1100 includes the capability of collecting and analysing host and device logs from many different sources, and Raven UTM includes an active Intrusion Prevention System / active firewall capability (IPS) based on dynamic black list processing.

Initial production units have already been purchased for use by each member of the US Army/SRI International Cyber-TA coalition which includes SANS Institute, Carnegie-Mellon University, Stanford University, UC Davis and many other key research groups. Promia Raven systems have been shipped to the US Navy and are under review by the US Air Force. Other early adopters include a number of small business customers in a successful Promia managed service programme. Included in Promia Raven subscription support is a proactive real time update facility incorporating advanced cyber knowledge from some of the world's foremost research organisations.

Design goals of these unified threat management (UTM) appliances include high throughput performance with small cost, size, weight, power usage and heat generation. They are very easy to set up and operate, have powerful data visualization capabilities, and are extremely accurate in their analytic assessments. In addition they can scale to protect large Grid networks, include advanced black list blocking and have audit logging and analysis capabilities for data from many types of computing hosts and net devices. The appliances are hardened to military specifications.
