Endian - ntop partnership announced today

Two Leading Companies Unite to Create the Open Source Next Generation Firewall

Endian, a leading provider of open source Unified Threat Management solutions has teamed up with ntop, a leading company in the network management field to create a cutting edge open source Next Generation Firewall solution. This solution will greatly enhance the current Endian platform by adding application “awareness” capabilities into all aspects of network security and management. Raphael Vallazza, Endian CEO, talks about the partnership: “Security and network management are necessarily converging. The Endian – ntop link is a natural outcome of this situation and is what we need in order to give the networking field the solutions it's looking for.”

With this next generation DPI technology, we are able to analyze any fragment of the network data flow without losing performance, while properly protecting internal systems from any threat of intrusion. As Luca Deri, network management Professor at the University of Pisa and ntop founder says, “Basically, you cannot secure what you do not know. And this is the focal point of our challenge: the next generation firewall totally based on open source technology. An all-in-one appliance that includes firewall, Unified Threat Management and state-of-the-art Deep Packet Inspection features, that provides deep packet scanning and full data filtering.”

Both companies are really excited about exploring all the opportunities a joint venture like this presents and their goal is to bring to market the next generation of open source network security and management solutions.

The CloudStore Knowledge Centre supports users with tutorials, industry updates and an extensive product library.

Businesses can now access Endian’s Unified Threat Management security solution in a matter of minutes, with the added benefit of being backed up by an industry leading network infrastructure from Interoute, which delivers unparalleled scale and diversity.”

Matthew Finnie, CTO of Interoute, added: “Expanding our Partner ecosystem is central to our vision for the Interoute CloudStore.  The inclusion of the Endian UTM in the CloudStore, combined with the CloudStore’s ability to create secure public and private solutions automatically, allows customers to exploit the Endian UTM rich set of features without the constraints normally associated with Cloud-based solutions. ”
