By GlobalDataAxellio, in close partnership with World Wide Technology (WWT) and Red Hat, has further developed another scalable hyper-converged cyber defence framework.
The new modular solution is expected to improve the accuracy, performance, mobility and efficiency of army operators to perform cybersecurity missions in a range of tactical scenarios.
Both GDP and the newly developed version are based on Axellio’s PacketXpress Network Intelligence Platform.
PacketXpress specifically focuses on defence, global security and intelligence community missions. It is a high-intake platform for capturing, storing, operating and disseminating security and network traffic within small footprints.
Axellio informed that the new solution has already been established for monitoring, detecting and analysing any unusual behaviours or intrusions across the US Army’s Garrison network.
Axellio CEO Scott Aken said: “Axellio’s PacketXpress solution provides the key capability of high-speed collection, retention, and distribution, allowing exceptional threat identification rates. This deep threat insight provides for constant cybersecurity evolution and protection from advanced persistent threats.”
