BackBox overview

What is BackBox?

BackBox helps organizations continuously validate and proactively improve network security posture with preventive actions.

We offer a simple way to intelligently automate the backup, restoration, and management of all devices on a network by providing centralized management of devices such as firewalls, routers, switches, and load balancers.

Employing centralized management for all device backups also allows BackBox to relay other vital information, such as the status of devices and the network, to end users. This lets BackBox assist with predicting when and where outages are more likely to occur, in turn helping organizations prevent such events.

BackBox provides a foundation to harmonize the configuration between multiple devices, enabling seamless integration, and assuring compliance with organization or industry security policies, standards, or guidelines.

Key benefits of using BackBox

- Automated OS upgrades and patches for thousands of devices from hundreds of vendors across your network in a timely manner, eliminating the need for manual tracking and scheduling of these upgrades.

- Automated network device configurations backup on a regularly scheduled basis to ensure you always have the backup of the latest configurations of all your devices.

- Easily restore device configuration with a ‘single-click’ when you need to quickly roll back your device configuration to the latest version for disaster recovery.
Automated compliance audits with predefined signatures for operational checks

- Automated remediation of any discovered compliance conflicts or security vulnerabilities to comply with organization or industry/government policies or standards.

-Centralized, multi-vendor network automation that improves the security and operation functions of network infrastructure devices. BackBox offers seamless integrations with other network monitoring and security tools and platforms through its open API architecture.

-No-code user interface that makes creating new automation easy, saving time and resources by avoiding manually writing scripts for automation and thus allow professionals to focus on other strategic and mission-critical tasks.

- Through centralized management for all device backups, BackBox relays vital information, such as the status of devices and the network, to end users. This lets BackBox assist with predicting when and where outages are more likely to occur, in turn helping organizations prevent such events with proactive actions.

- BackBox automatically pulls in network asset (devices) information such as device types, serial numbers, licenses, versions, etc. with every backup and provides real-time granular reporting for easy documentation. BackBox also provides automated discovery of new devices connected to the network that helps ensure compliance with cybersecurity standards, such as CIS, that require organizations to tightly manage their inventory of devices.
