Hillstone Networks announces major upgrade to operating system

KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 25 (Bernama) -- Hillstone Networks, a leading provider of innovative and accessible cybersecurity solutions, has announced a major upgrade to its operating system, Hillstone StoneOS 5.5R10.

The latest upgrade delivers artificial intelligence (AI)-based high performance threat protection, centralised Zero Trust control and management, and further simplification of security operations and system optimisation, among over 300 new features.

According to a statement, the new functionality enhances the security posture of customer environments and further streamlines security operations with an easy upgrade path.

“The latest iteration of StoneOS continues to address the challenges faced by SecOps teams, and the constant risks faced by enterprises globally,” said Hillstone Networks chief technology officer and co-founder, Tim Liu.

“Enhanced AI-driven threat protection, better integration, centralised control and management, and streamlined operations are all critical in delivering a stable and strategic approach to cyber-resilient cybersecurity environments.”

The new StoneOS leverages AI technology to provide machine learning (ML)-based threat detection for encrypted traffic without the need for decryption while also features intelligent DDoS protection and DGA detection.

A blacklist extension that empowers the Perimeter Traffic Filtering (PTF) function and delivers more protection against threats is also included.

StoneOS is the foundation for all Hillstone next-generation firewalls, which has been recognised in the 2022 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Network Firewalls for the 9th consecutive year as a Visionary.
