Original Press Release:
New Aladdin eSafe SecureSurfing(TM) Solution Allows ISPs to Protect their Customers from Spyware and Phishing Threats
Innovative Approach Lets ISPs Easily Provide 'Clean Pipe' Tiered Security Services to Customers While Quickly Increasing Revenues
CHICAGO, Oct. 6 /-- Aladdin Knowledge Systems (NASDAQ:ALDN), the worldwide leader in Software Digital Rights Management (DRM) and USB-based authentication solutions, and a leading innovator in enterprise secure content management, today announced a new Tiered SecureSurfing(TM) solution, the latest Aladdin eSafe offering specifically tailored to provide ISPs with unmatched security services for end users. Currently in beta, the new SecureSurfing platform is scheduled for general availability in January 2006.
Today, customers at home, small and medium businesses are overwhelmed with daily Internet threats they find difficult, if not impossible, to handle. These threats include spyware and adware that slow computers, compromise privacy and spy on activities and files; Trojan horses and worms hidden in Web pages; as well as numerous other types of malicious code exploiting ever-increasing security holes. These growing threats cannot be handled by inline antivirus services currently offered by ISPs, which only handle email content.
Last month, the Aladdin eSafe Content Security Response Team (CSRT) conducted a two-month analysis of the top 2,000 known spyware threats, reporting that a staggering 15 percent of spyware threats actually steal passwords and log keystrokes, while also attempting to steal logged-on user names, instant messaging usage and email addresses. The study illustrates that a growing amount of spyware is specifically designed for identity theft and continues to compromise both personal and commercial privacy, with potentially dangerous effects.
ISPs Can Easily Expand Offerings, Increase Revenues
Using the Aladdin eSafe Tiered SecureSurfing solution, ISPs can now quickly and easily provide customers with a true "clean pipe" Internet connection. Home users and small businesses do not have to become security experts or buy and manage an assortment of expensive security products. The eSafe Tiered SecureSurfing solution offers various business models, enabling ISPs to:
-- Immediately increase revenues with limited initial expenses
-- Get a competitive edge by providing true "SecureSurfing" with no end-user performance impact
-- Offer customers "large business security" for a small monthly fee
-- Reduce help-desk calls due to malicious code problems
-- Reduce malicious code outbreaks, DoS, phishing, etc.
Powerful Aladdin eSafe Technologies
As a source of incremental revenue and an added value service, content security is an ideal way for service providers to differentiate themselves by offering:
-- Real-time Web surfing with four-layer spyware blocking utilizing 15 anti-spyware technologies, stopping both standard and targeted spyware attacks
-- Real-time Web surfing Trojan and worm blocking with full inspection of all Web page content
-- Real-time Web surfing exploit and vulnerability blocking -- true proactive security
-- Blocking unauthorized applications traffic for business end users (P2P, IM etc.)
-- Optional services such as: complete phishing prevention, email anti-spam, Web site URL filtering by categories, as well as email security and antivirus -- including the only fully transparent solution that can inspect ALL email and Web mail, not just the ISP mailbox
"ISP customers at home and even small businesses are forced to become security experts, managing anti-virus, anti-spyware, personal firewall, security patches, and fighting spam. Home networks with multiple users make this task nearly impossible for an average person," said Shimon Gruper, vice president of technology for the Aladdin eSafe Business Unit. "People want Web surfing to be secure -- like it used to be. The Aladdin eSafe SecureSurfing solution is the only practical choice, and one of the few services customers are willing to pay for."
