CyberArmor inspects multiple layers of the network and the system to protect the PC. The layers are inspected to verify that system operations conform to the security policies configured by administrators. These policies are stored on the endpoint to weed out suspicious traffic and actions.
Stateful inspection filters let users run applications without opening the system more than required. For example, network applications can run without exposing all ports to the Internet. Traffic can be implicitly limited to user initiated transactions, even for stateless protocols such as UDP. Environmentally sensitive policies dynamically select the rules which are appropriate for the user's environment. By detecting where the user is located and what they are doing, CyberArmor provides the strongest protection possible without interfering with the user's network services.
The CyberArmor solution consists of the CyberArmor personal firewall for remote PCs and backend servers to manage, update, and monitor users. The various components are described below.
Policy Manager lets administrators create and maintain environmentally sensitive policy (ESP) profiles, configure run-time settings for users, and build custom self extracting installers for end users. CyberArmor Client enforces the security policies on the end user's system. The CyberArmor client protects against network threats through its environmentally sensitive policies. Automatic updates of CyberArmor binaries and policies are performed through a distributed server. CyberServer records alarm and status notifications received from systems running CyberArmor. CyberServer runs on a server on the corporate network, and can record threats and configurations on remote systems. CyberConsole lets administrators see what notifications have occurred, and to view remote system configurations and logs.
