Review: ActiveScout Site Solution and Enterprise Solution

Review: ActiveScout Site Solution and Enterprise Solution

Accomplished hackers will always perform some sort of reconnaissance on a target network before mounting an attack - finding out details such as operating system types, application version, etc. The idea behind ActiveScout is that if the application can detect this activity it can later prevent it. Bogus host or port data traffic is marked, and the application responds to any future activity it thinks is coming from an attacker with such marked data. It then blocks the packets and stops any damage ever occurring.
