NETECT specializes in systems for network security analysis, intrusion detection and security management. The company's products include leading edge technologies to enhance your network's security. Unlike the standard security packages available today that produce an idle, passive monitor of the network, NETECT utilizes a proactive approach to network security by refusing to wait until it is too late and intruders have already found the Achilles' heel of your system. Instead, NETECT will constantly put your system to the test - it will simulate attacks on your system, on the server, site and enterprise levels. NETECT also provides a real time intrusion detection tool that provides intrusion identification and intruder connection termination.

NETECT's products give the system manager the most updated tools in order to receive continuous feedback on the security situation in the enterprise. NETECT performs analysis of the system, discovers possible security breaches and instructs the system manager on how to correct them. It then provides constant feedback on the security of the system. NETECT performs continuous monitoring, detects break-ins attempts, identifies the intruder and disconnects the attacked server. "By using NETECT, information security is improved dramatically" said Aberman. "NETECT's interoperability with Check Point guarantees smooth integration of NETECT into your existing security environment."
