cognitix Threat Defender by genua is a comprehensive cybersecurity solution designed to enhance the security and availability of IT and OT networks. It functions as an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) and Intrusion Prevention System (IPS), providing real-time anomaly detection and automated incident response. cognitix Threat Defender supports micro-segmentation at both the network (Layer 2) and application level (Layer 7), ensuring maximum asset protection through non-intrusive detection via passive traffic mirroring. It offers extensive monitoring and reporting capabilities, allowing for detailed analysis and targeted measures against unexpected traffic. The solution is available as software and can be operated on high-performance hardware from genua or compatible customer-owned platforms. Integration into existing networks is straightforward, requiring no adjustments to the existing routing infrastructure. cognitix Threat Defender continuously compares network traffic against a comprehensive database of indicators of compromise (IoC) and IPS rules, which are regularly updated. It supports flexible integration with additional federal and private MISP databases and interfaces with third-party software for enhanced monitoring and reporting. The solution is designed to comply with data protection regulations and supports organizational audits like ISO, ISMS, and IEC. It promotes digital sovereignty through 100% backdoor-free development made in Germany.
