Technology Introduced at Prestigious DEMO 2006 Conference
PHOENIX, Feb. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Front Porch, Inc., the leading developer
of online user communications technologies for Network Providers unveiled
today its PorchLight Security Messaging(TM) technology that extends the
capabilities of Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems to automatically
notify infected users of security threats such as viruses, worms, spyware,
Trojans, and zombies. Online users are also automatically notified in real
time in their browsers when they attempt to surf to fraudulent Phishing sites.
PorchLight Security Messaging combines Front Porch's proven subscriber
communications technology with output from leading Intrusion Detection and
Protection Systems to automatically send notification directly to infected
users' browsers. Infected users receive a secure, branded message that
contains information on the specific security threat along with instructions,
enabling users to clean up their computers and solve network issues at the
source.
"Current Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems detect and contain
security threats," said Raul Vaughn, Director of Strategic Services at Front
Porch. "PorchLight Security Messaging bridges the gap between detection and
automatic user notification and provides a more elegant and efficient solution
than other methods currently available to network providers. Our solution is
ideal for all types of network providers, including corporate, campus,
community and municipal WiFi networks as well as traditional Internet Service
Providers."
Currently, network providers typically handle a flood of incoming calls,
send email that users may never receive or read, or cut off network access to
a broad group of users without notice. "We created automated messaging
services because Network Service Providers asked for our help. Infected users
were killing their networks. Their network operations personnel were
overwhelmed by the magnitude of the security problems and did not have the
resources to resolve them while focusing on customer service," said Carl Daly,
Director of Sales at Front Porch.
Front Porch will demonstrate PorchLight Security Messaging at DEMO 2006 on
February 7 and 8. "We are pleased to have been chosen as a participant at DEMO
2006," said Zachary Britton, CEO of Front Porch. "DEMO is the ideal venue to
present our PorchLight Security Messaging Services to an audience that is
eagerly awaiting the latest breakthroughs in network security."
"Front Porch's PorchLight Security Messaging is the next step in the
ongoing evolution of network security," said Chris Shipley, executive producer
of the DEMO Conferences. "I am eager for my network service provider to get
PorchLight Security Messaging on their network."

station #32 at DEMO 2006 for a live demonstration.
