VitalQIP DDI Security

Securing and protecting your network and thereby your business necessitates a defense-in-depth security approach. Our DDI security layer can add rich data for detecting nefarious activity and forensics data for cyber threat investigations.

DDI Security Enhances Network Security

As the foundation of your IP network, DDI components need to be secured to reduce the risk of outages or degradations that could impact the performance of your network and your business. VitalQIP DDI solutions help you secure your overall network by securing your DNS transactions and by enabling rigorous IP inventory practices with discovery and reconciliation to identify and validate IP occupancy. VitalQIP incorporates the former Audit Manager add-on and provides a centralized repository of DDI audit events, while our DDI Guard software adds a layer of DDI transaction forensics and trend reporting.

Secure DDI appliances

Our QIP hardware and virtual DDI appliances ship with a secure RedHat-based Linux operating system to reduce exposure to kernel and operating system attacks. In addition, VitalQIP software offers a complementary set of DDI security features and capabilities to enable you to secure your DDI infrastructure and audit DDI changes within a centralized, holistic DDI solution.

Transaction logging for visibility and forensics

DHCP and DNS transactions comprise critical information during troubleshooting and for cyber threat investigations. VitalQIP centralizes DDI events and administrator changes for tracking and forensics analysis. Our DDI Guard software collects captured DHCP and DNS packets for a time and can be forwarded to the DDI Guard Archive appliance for longer term storage for forensics and for addressing regulatory as well as security and compliance requirements. SIEM interfaces are also supported to facilitate aggregation of network data.

DNSSEC signing and validation help secure the integrity of publishes and resolved DNS data. DNS access control options provide filtering of permitted query access.
