Mesh Intelligence
A system detects the attack.
Everyone is protected.
Mesh Intelligence works on the principle of swarm intelligence: Many systems monitor independently of one another and share their findings with the network. What one detects protects everyone within minutes. In this way, individual protective mechanisms come together to form a A shared safety memory—a learning safety net.
Challenge
Every system fights for itself.
Servers, mail gateways, telephony systems, and web services detect attacks—but the insights gained usually remain confined to the respective system.
Solution
An attack. A united response.
Mesh Intelligence evaluates detected attackers across all systems and automatically distributes the information throughout the entire network.
Recognize together. Protect together.
Advantages
What one person recognizes protects everyone.
Known attackers can be blocked within minutes on all affected systems and right at the perimeter firewall.
OIT detects and analyzes attacks worldwide in real time. When a system detects a threat, that information helps protect the entire network.
36 server locations. A safety net.

How Mesh Intelligence Works
From detection to network-wide blocking.
Recognize
Attempted attacks via SSH, email, VoIP, and the web, as well as decoy ports and reputation services, are detected.
Rate
Suspicious addresses are evaluated across all participating systems. Recurring attackers are weighted more heavily accordingly.
Share
The insights gained are automatically made available to the entire network.
Block
Host firewalls and perimeter firewalls block known attackers—before they reach the next service.
Protection in minutes.

For all connected systems
Swarm Intelligence for IT Security.
One person notices. Everyone knows what's going on. Everyone reacts.
Network Effect
Every system benefits from the insights of all the others.
Automatic Response
New blocks take effect across the entire network within a few minutes.
Full Control
Whitelists, thresholds, and blocking durations can still be controlled on an individual basis.
