Frequently Asked Questions
You deserve threat detection software that fits in your overall MSP strategy. If you’re looking for a partner that makes threat detection and blocking for your small business clients effortless, you’re in the right place. Here’s a bit more information based on questions MSPs like you have asked us.
WHAT DOES CDN NETWORK DEFENDER DO?
Dark Cubed is an MSP tool that significantly reduces the risk of ransomware, malware, data theft, and other types of cyber attacks on small businesses.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Essentially, our solution is a “sensor” that records the IP addresses of every device connected to, or attempting to connect to, your network, and then calculates a score for each IP address based on the likelihood of it deploying malicious activity.
Each IP is ranked from 1-9, with 1 being a legitimate IP address, and 9 indicating it’s highly likely to be the source of malicious activity. Using that scale, CDN Network Defender automatically blocks IP addresses based on the tolerance level set by the MSP and provides the opportunity for a user to manually block other traffic or whitelist known IPs.
HOW DOES CDN NETWORK DEFENDER DETERMINE THE RANKING OF AN IP ADDRESS?
Our IP score is derived from 3 elements:
-
Over 60 threat intelligence feeds
-
Celerum’s own proprietary, predictive analytics augments our threat intelligence sources and also analyzes recently-created IPs not yet identified as malicious on threat intelligence feeds
-
Our own patented technology enables threat data to be shared anonymously across our entire user base, so we’re able to connect the dots via contextualized analysis.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL?
Because CDN Network Defender is a SaaS solution, there’s nothing to download or install. After establishing your account, you point our solution at your firewall, and we start consuming syslog or netflow data in seconds. The average time to get up and running is typically 5-10 minutes. No hardware, no software, no consultants.
HOW MUCH DOES CDN NETWORK DEFENDER COST?
We offer efficient, upfront MSP pricing and charge per firewall per month, with no additional setup or ongoing service costs. There are no minimums, and our month-to-month contracts mean you can cancel at any time. Because we don’t sell direct, we only provide pricing to MSPs and MSSPs. Please contact us for our hyper-affordable and straightforward pricing or request a free demo to learn more.
HOW MUCH SUPPORT IS REQUIRED BY THE MSP?
The foundational principle of CDN Network Defender is to automate traditionally manual security tasks - our solution requires very little care and feeding by design, and the minimal effort needed from your team requires little cyber security experience. Most of our MSP partners use our platform in a “set-it-and-forget-it” mode, opting to use our monthly reports and ongoing notifications to monitor their clients’ cyber issues.
