NEC's World's First Security Configuration Analyzing System Enables Automatic Detection of Network Security Problems

NEC Corporation today announced that it has succeeded in the development of a security configuration analyzing system that enables automatic detection of security problems through collection and analysis of configuration parameters of security tools that work collaboratively within the network. The newly developed system can detect security issues such as when the file transfer protocol ("FTP") service is accepted by the firewall, but the FTP data stream is not monitored by any intrusion detection system ("IDS") and is thus vulnerable to infection via worm attack, and can propose configuration revision plans to correct the problem at the time of error detection.
