Mazu Networks forms alliance with TippingPoint

Mazu Networks announced an alliance to integrate Mazu with TippingPoint’s quarantine solution. The integration enables enterprises to resolve network and security issues quickly and accurately.

“The combination of Mazu with TippingPoint provides customers with a powerful solution for addressing a multitude of network operations and network security challenges,” said Paul Brady, CEO, Mazu Networks. “While Mazu provides enterprises with a global view of how users, applications, hosts and devices behave on a network, TippingPoint enables a granular enforcement option. Now the market’s leading NBA system can work in conjunction with TippingPoint’s solutions to greatly improve network and security operations for enterprise customers.”

Mazu provides continuous global visibility into how users, applications, hosts and devices behave on a network, delivering information on how current activity differs from typical behavior. Users immediately understand who is talking to whom, what applications and services are running, where the traffic is flowing and if there are any meaningful changes that indicate a network issue, security threat or application problem. After identifying an issue, Mazu can now send commands, such as containing infected devices for remediation, to the TippingPoint Security Management System (SMS) for enforcement. Further, with Mazu, TippingPoint’s quarantine can move from policy violation alerting to inline policy enforcement.
