As the head of product management at Invisinet, I am focused on developing our software solutions with an acute eye on the needs of the market. That is why I am very excited to announce the newest addition to the Invisinet solution, the InvisiPoint Enforcer. We already had developed a ground-breaking system for Identity Access Management, but the addition of the Enforcer takes the Invisinet solution to new heights.
With the addition of Enforcer, the Invisinet delivers a complete Access Control System and the ability for real-time visibility. Specifically, Enforcer provides visibility and enforcement at the edge. This means Invisinet’s patented cloaking and micro-segmentation capabilities are now expanded across the entire network – from end to end. Adding Enforcers to distributed protected resources, the network layer with bi-directional protection as well as with lateral movement tracking and complete system monitoring. This provides the highest level of protection from insider attacks and man-in-the-middle attacks, as well as a unique capability to actively monitor all traffic going to the Protected Resource, be it external, internal or anywhere in between.
Users can also activate secured identity anywhere on their network versus just their primary data center. This is particularly helpful in large global companies or far-spread organizations with many remote offices and data centers.
Enforcers deliver tokenized ID information at every stage of the network, which from a practical business perspective, makes the software solution highly scalable, lightweight and cost effective. It supports OT/edge device enforcement directly on critical servers and can detect tampering at the cyber-physical boundary.
Ultimately, Enforcers can be set to “monitoring” mode discerning both identified and non-identified users at the network layer and flagging any unauthorized activity anywhere throughout the network. Due to Enforcers’ extreme scalability, this means horizontal monitoring at all levels (at the database level, webserver level, firewall level, etc...) alert management and exploit identification as they happen. This is a game-changer for system administrators’ day-to-day activity, as well as for organizations required to meet the increasingly stringent critical infrastructure regulations.
Enforcers also act as an NDR Sensor (Network Detection Response Sensor) which, by definition, functions by capturing network traffic, analyzing behavior, detecting threats, providing visibility and automating responses. Enforcers allow you to have cost effective “sensors” in your network, not only at the endpoints and/or at the border of your data center, by at many places in between. Enforcers log and report in real time access and network paths of individual IDs that can be used to easily report and validate controls for access compliance with new standards such as CMMC, NIS-2, and EU-CRA. Executives, who can now be explicitly held personally liable, can rest easier with documented evidence of active involvement in cybersecurity governance.
For operations managing multiple users/agents and endpoints, this truly provides visibility and enforcement from A to Z and everywhere in between.
