Detect swarms. New specialized module for the rapid detection and prevention of traffic 'swarms'.

More network defense. Now deploy Esphion anywhere inside or outside the network - outside of your firewalls to detect DDoS attacks or inside your network to detect worm outbreaks.

Highly sensitive detection algorithms. Now detect even slow-scanning worms which scan at less than one packet per second.

Support larger groups and develop new services. Define up to 200 customer groups per controller. Managed service providers (MSPs) can use Esphion's user portal to allow individual users access to information and alerts about their network traffic. Because individual intelligent agents can now handle separate group sets, it is possible to take the sensors, position them around the perimeter as well as inside of the network, and still manage them all from a single MXC.

Support for detailed, real-time Crystal reporting. Gain insight as to the port and protocol, as well as the IP addresses (hosts) that are involved in a swarm and normal types of network anomalies.

Real-time traffic sampling and reporting. Specify an analysis of all traffic to/from a certain port, as it takes place. Or, to/from a certain IP address. Detailed reports contain information such as the packet size histogram, top peer ports and top peer IP addresses.

Improved usability. New graphing and reporting capabilities via Esphion’s web-based GUI. Key windows and graphs continuously show up-to-date information, making Esphion well suited for 'mission control' style monitor screens. Notification filters can have the number of involved hosts as a criteria, enabling customers to be alerted to activities that involve more than just one host.

Greater resiliency. Data is buffered on the intelligent network agents in case of a lost network connection to the MXC. Once the connection has been restored, the data is transmitted.
