2014 Digital Yearbook of Homeland Security Awards

ing closely with and listening to its user community,
SolarWinds is able to gain real-time and candid feedback
from IT practitioners, so its products can address the
problems and challenges prevalent in IT security today.
SolarWinds UDT provides three critical capabilities for
network and systems managers. First, it makes it possible
to physically locate an end-user device or user on
the network extremely quickly. Second, it allows for
rapid quarantine of users or systems by remotely shutting
down a switch port. Finally, it supports watch-lists
and can alert when certain types of devices or specific
users connect to the network and even take pre-defined
actions to help protect information and other assets. SolarWinds
software is built to scale and can support an IT
environment of any size and is used by nearly every U.S.
federal civilian agency, DoD branch and intelligence
agency. SolarWinds UDT complements other products,
such as SolarWinds Network Configuration Monitor,
SolarWinds Log & Event Manager, SolarWinds Firewall
Security Manager and SolarWinds Server & Application
Monitor, to name a few, providing additional breadth
and depth for continuous monitoring. SolarWinds software
can “collect once and report to many,” which gives
IT, information assurance, and security departments
the unique functionality they each need from a single,
cost-effective set of tools.
SolarWinds UDT licensing
is based on the number of
switch ports to being monitored.
The licensing model
features large jumps in
switch port count allowing
for rapid growth of an organization
before an additional
licensing level is reached and
can scale to an unlimited
number of switch ports.
