SecureCast
SecureCast is a protocol primarily used for outbound communication with Network Associates Inc. (NAI) servers. It facilitates the secure management, monitoring, and transfer of systems or security-related data, serving enterprise network infrastructure and security services. This port is often used by administration tools or security applications to transmit information externally..
Overview:
Port 370 is designated for SecureCast, a protocol utilized predominantly for sending outbound packets from client systems or appliances back to NAI’s network infrastructure. Its main functions include telemetry exchange, alerting, command updates, and policy management communications between enterprise endpoints and centralized services.
Protocol Details:
SecureCast traffic can pass over both TCP and UDP. TCP offers reliable, connection-oriented communications for control commands or data exchange, whereas UDP is typically suited for quick, less critical telemetry or status packets. The dual-protocol capability ensures flexibility depending on the type of data transmitted.
Operational Context:
SecureCast is often embedded in enterprise security solutions, integrated into security agents, or management consoles deployed across a corporate network. It facilitates centralized management, real-time alerting, and policy enforcement. While termed “SecureCast,” the protocol itself is not inherently encrypted, requiring additional security layers if sensitive data is transmitted.
