layerX Delivers Industry's First Real-Time Threat Sharing and Mitigation Offering



New Threat-Share Offering Revolutionizes Early Threat Detection by Enabling Enterprises to Automatically Share Real-Time Threat Knowledge and Respond Before it Becomes Critical

LAS VEGAS, May 22 -- Interop 2007 Conference and Expo, Booth #93 -- layerX Technologies(TM), a pioneer in delivering real-time threat management and security policy enforcement solutions for enterprise clients, today announced THREAT-SHARE, the industry's first real-time threat sharing and mitigation solution. The THREAT-SHARE solution, available on layerX's distributed security management platform, Arbitrator(TM), enables clients around the world to exchange and leverage real-time threat information to protect their networks from outside attacks.

The solution, available as a policy module within the layerX offering, Arbitrator, allows clients to securely exchange real-time threat information between Arbitrator systems, and incorporate this knowledge into automated response management and threat mitigation rules -- giving clients the ability to identify and defend against threats using real-time information from external sources.

"Today's networks are constantly being probed for vulnerabilities by a combination of scanning devices and malicious applications. In this environment attacks can come from almost any source and can appear, spread, and disappear in an instant; leaving enterprises in a constant struggle to predict the next attack with yesterday's information," said Michael Kay, vice president of Market Development for layerX. "With Threat-Share, enterprises can be instantly aware of malicious activities within their own network and within the community surrounding them. This information, combined with Arbitrator's automated threat mitigation capability, enables clients to prepare for and defend themselves against attacks before they even arrive."

Threat-Share is available immediately as an optional policy module within layerX's flagship enterprise security management platform, Arbitrator(TM), or as a managed perimeter protection service from Shared Technologies Inc. Visit booth #93 in the Security Pavilion for a demonstration.
