Original Press Release:
Protegrity's Defiance Threat Management System (TMS) First to Offer Multiple Deployment Options
Flexible Web Application Firewall May Be Deployed as Pure Software, Hardware Appliance or Both Simultaneously
STAMFORD, Conn., Oct. 23 / / - Protegrity Corporation, the leading provider of Data Security Management solutions, has released the first comprehensive web application security solution for large-scale distributed enterprises that can be deployed as pure software, an appliance or both simultaneously.
Part of Protegrity's award-winning Defiance Security Software Suite, the Defiance Threat Management System (TMS) appliance provides multiple benefits including effortless deployment and out of the box protection.
"Our customers are interested in deploying appliances in addition to our existing software solutions to better match their global needs," said Gordon Rapkin, Protegrity's president and CEO. "We consistently hear that in a global environment with many web applications, offering one deployment solution causes unneeded overhead on already stretched resources, or delays the implementation of security on vulnerable applications. Our solution now allows the organization to choose the option that fits their needs best, which in many cases will be a combination of the two."
Defiance TMS is the intelligent way to effectively manage both evolving and known security threats. Defiance TMS may be deployed in-line for intrusion prevention, or deployed out-of-band for continuous intrusion detection. Protegrity's Intelligent Escalation(TM) technology provides advanced control over Web application security by enabling both deployment options to dynamically change their operational modes in response to threats and an enterprise's security policies, enabling effective security and assisting in regulatory compliance efforts. Any attack in any single location will automatically trigger fast targeted defensive responses throughout the entire enterprise.
Web Application data breaches and threats are sharply on the rise. ComputerWorld recently reported that the percentage of online vulnerabilities attributable to security holes in web applications jumped to 72% in Q2 of 2007 from 67% in Q1. Conversely, security holes attributable to network vulnerabilities fell to 28% from 33%.
Defiance TMS protects against the most damaging attacks including SQL injection, cross-site scripting, brute force attacks, session tampering and cookie poisoning.
The recent breach at job search site Monster.com comprised 1.3 million job seekers' personal information, and, CNet reported "holds an important lesson for businesses banking on the Web to conduct business ..." Most enterprises are "not even aware that their traditional network firewalls cannot protect against these attacks," Forrester Research stated in its study Web Application Firewall Forecast: 2007 to 2010.
The Defiance TMS Appliance will be available by the end of the year.
