Software Components
Wanguard Sensor provides traffic anomaly detection, bandwidth monitoring and traffic accounting. The
collected information allows you to generate complex traffic reports, graphs, and tops; instantly pin down the cause
of network incidents; automate the reaction to attacks; understand patterns in application performance and make
the right capacity planning decisions.
Wanguard Filter is an optional component used for generating filtering rules that isolate the malicious traffic
sent to the attacked destinations. It scrubs off abnormal traffic in a granular manner without impacting the user
experience or resulting in downtime.
Wanguard Console is a multi-tenant web graphical user interface that functions as the administrative core of
the software. It offers single-point management and reporting by consolidating data received from all Wanguard
Sensors and Wanguard Filters deployed within the network.
For brevity, Wanguard Sensor is sometimes referred to as Sensor, Wanguard Filter as Filter, and Wanguard
Console as Console.
