Lumeta Announces IPsonar 5.4

  • Mar 06, 2012

Lumeta Corp. recently announced the latest release of IPsonar which now includes Enhanced Perimeter Discovery (EPD).

IPsonar discovers the comprehensive network perimeter and clearly demarcates between the “known” and “unknown” in your network. With its patented leak detection and network discovery capabilities, IPsonar detects, identifies, maps and analyzes every device on the network, outlining a clear picture of the first line of defense in network security. By verifying the behavior of firewalls and other network devices, IPsonar identifies gaps in perimeter defenses -- or “leaks” -- that compromise network security and put the enterprise at risk.

“Because of increased enterprise threats such as APTs and rogue insiders, as well as smarter malware, we dramatically improved IPsonar’s detection capabilities in our latest release by incorporating Enhanced Perimeter Discovery”, said Michael Markulec, CEO of Lumeta Corporation. “By providing real-time visibility into the edge of the Enterprise network and identifying potentially dangerous activity, IPsonar provides greater security and assurance that potential leaks are stopped before they can be exploited.”

As the scope of the network perimeter continues to increase through mobile devices, VPN, and other technologies, traditional methods for identifying the perimeter of the network are no longer enough because they will be blocked or thwarted by more sophisticated users and devices. Enhanced Perimeter Discovery (EPD) uses a targeted approach to identify devices on the network that have the ability to pass traffic out of the enterprise and into unauthorized or even dangerous networks. Often these devices are not traditional routers, but enterprise servers, workstations and other systems that are targeted for exploitation by attackers and malware. When these systems forward traffic to unknown, unauthorized or untrusted networks,

IPsonar’s EPD immediately detects and alerts on the complete context of the network conversation, including details on the device or host and the addresses and networks connected to, enabling an unprecedented view of potential holes in your network perimeter.

  • The Evolution of IP Camera Intelligence

    As the 30th anniversary of the IP camera approaches in 2026, it is worth reflecting on how far we have come. The first network camera, launched in 1996, delivered one frame every 17 seconds—not impressive by today’s standards, but groundbreaking at the time. It did something that no analog system could: transmit video over a standard IP network. Read Now

  • From Surveillance to Intelligence

    Years ago, it would have been significantly more expensive to run an analytic like that — requiring a custom-built solution with burdensome infrastructure demands — but modern edge devices have made it accessible to everyone. It also saves time, which is a critical factor if a missing child is involved. Video compression technology has played a critical role as well. Over the years, significant advancements have been made in video coding standards — including H.263, MPEG formats, and H.264—alongside compression optimization technologies developed by IP video manufacturers to improve efficiency without sacrificing quality. The open-source AV1 codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media—a consortium including Google, Netflix, Microsoft, Amazon and others — is already the preferred decoder for cloud-based applications, and is quickly becoming the standard for video compression of all types.
