The NETFOX is an effective tool to build, manage, and enforce a network security policy. The following steps explain how the NETFOX is integral to the network security policy process.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Step 1 and 1A: Creating a network baseline and an IP profile
|
|
|
|
The NETFOX can quickly define your network baseline with its 'Set as Master' funcationality.

Step 2: Disable unneeded TCP/UDP services
|
|
|
|
The NETFOX identifies a system's active TCP/UDP services and compares the results the an allowed list of ports that you define. Information and specific policy instructions can be associated to every port.

Step 3: Scan your network
|
|
|
|
The NETFOX WHO and WHAT scans determine the network compliance to the policy-defined baseline. The WHO scan gathers information about who is connected to your network (e.g. DNS, MAC, etc.). The WHAT scan identifies every systems' active TCP/UDP services.

Step 4: Store your scan results
|
|
|
|
The NETFOX stores all scan data in a relational SQL database. Previous scan result information can be viewed via the Scan History and IP Forensics Modules.

Step 5: Investigate suspicious changes
|
|
|
|
NETFOX scan results that deviate from the policy-defined baseline are flagged for you to quickly identify any violations. The NETFOX has the ability to schedule scans in which the results will be e-mailed to you.

Step 6: Tailor security tools to your policy
|
|
|
|
The NETFOX helps you create, manage and enforce your network security policy. Now you can tailor other security tools to your policy. Various network security technologies (e.g. firewalls, IDS, etc.) work more efficiently thus saving both time and money.
