Lewis talked at length about SecureWorks' latest offering, iSensor. A Linux-based stateless firewall product has a significant twist: remote monitoring done at the SecureWorks data center in Atlanta. SecureWorks has done a considerable amount of work in real-time intrusion detection, adding a dynamic rule set system that can autonomously react to exploit attempts. SecureWorkers follows this with their 24/7 monitoring facility staffed with security specialists trained to react to persistent attacks.

Lewis said the iSensor system involves a firewall machine purchased from SecureWorks as well as a service contract that covers the remote monitoring functions. It's proof once again that Open Source solutions can be a profitable arena of computer science with the proper business model., he said. The focus of iSensor is on small to mid-sized companies who find it cost- or resource-prohibitive to employa full time security administration staff. Their goal is to offer enterprise level security solutions to businesses that may not be able to handle the labor-intensive tasks of monitoring and intrusion investigation themselves, Lewis said.
