Genua, a German IT security specialist, and Enea, a global supplier of innovative software components, broke the news of Enea Qosmos being genua’s preferred choice for embedded network traffic classification engine for its cognitix Threat Defender platform.
What is cognitix Threat Defender?
The IT sector deals with threats almost every single day. In response, the cognitix Threat Defender platform works as a groundbreaking Network Threat Detection and Response platform that makes use of the popular threat protection features of Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems (IDS/IPS) with protection against unknown threats, via the unique Network Traffic analysis (NTA) capabilities.
How does the Cognitix platform operate?

Additionally, the powerful combination of reactive and proactive capabilities and a genuinely lightweight programmable architecture make cognitix an essential element of genua’s Security Defined Network solution that deploys network segmentation and managed decentralization of rules definition and enforcement along with NTA to better cater to increasing demand for high application and data availability.
