iGuard/inSight User Guide

Release 7.0.0.4

The Reconnex Solution

Reconnex iGuards are at the heart of the Reconnex solution. They intelligently capture, classify

and process all information, regardless of protocol or object type, on a network. They are high-

speed, non-intrusive, passive security appliances that collect, classify, analyze and store network

data.

Reconnex is the only vendor with a before, during and after approach to information protection.

Five features are core elements of the Reconnex solution to protecting all information assets on a

network:

Monitor: Provides real-time scanning and analysis of all network traffic, regardless of content

type, protocol or port.

Capture Stores events related to critical content in an indexed, searchable database,

enabling after-the-fact investigation and improved security.

Control Defines policies that filter network data, assigns roles to organizational

stakeholders, provides case management and unified reporting tools to establish

workflow processes for remediation of security violations.

Discover Scans data repositories to identifiy and fingerprint sensitive information to ensure

protection of data at rest.

Prevent Alert, as well as blocking and filtering techniques in coordination with rules and

policies to control information that is traversing or being stored on the network.

Note: Discover and Prevent are not yet integrated into this release, but can be implemented as

separate products.

iGuards operate efficiently regardless of the size of an organization. For small to medium-sized

businesses, they can be attached directly to the network and operate in standalone mode. In a

large organization, multiple iGuards can be deployed in clusters (managed mode) and their

operation can be controlled by one or more inSight consoles.

Reconnex Centralization

The inSight Console centralizes iGuard operations by redistributing the workload between all

components of the Reconnex system.

The full system coordinates control over all five phases of information protection: Monitor, Capture,

Control, Prevent and Discover.
