Features and benefits include:
- Full Remote Upgrades. You can now upgrade your 5.x and 6.0 network sensors from the console without physical access to the sensor. You must first upgrade the RealSecure console and Event Collector to version 6.5 and then run the sensor upgrade. Please read the installation instructions for complete details.
- New Signatures. RealSecure 6.5 contains all the signatures in previous X-Press Updates (through XPU 3.3) plus additional signatures to provide comprehensive protection.
- Session termination in stealth mode. RealSecure for Nokia will now allow session termination, otherwise known as RSKills, to end an attacker's connection in stealth mode. Stealth mode is the recommended way to deploy a sensor that makes it invisible to detection.
- Two sensors on one appliance. There is now full support for operation of two sensors on a single appliance. This mode of operation is recommended only for the IP440 or higher and for monitoring of low bandwidth segments. Allowing two sensors to operate from a single appliance allows customers to leverage their investment in hardware to provide greater coverage at lower cost.
