New Entercept Web Server Edition to Support Apache 1.3.6 and Higher
SAN FRANCISCO, RSA Conference, April 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Entercept(TM)
Security Technologies, developer of essential sever-level security technology
necessary for system, application and data protection, today announced it is
broadening its award-winning Web server protection to include specific
protection for the Apache Web Server running on Solaris.
The new Entercept Web Server Edition for Apache protects Web servers from
Web site defacement, data theft and misuse. Entercept preserves server uptime
by identifying attacks and preventing access to the Apache Web Server
resources before unauthorized transactions occur.
Building on the capabilities of Entercept 2.0, the Web Server Edition
proactively protects the host by evaluating request to the Web server and the
operating system before they are processed. Entercept Web Server Edition
offers multiple layers of security, ensuring it is not dependent on just one
technology for its protection. This multi-layered approach provides an
unparalleled depth of security against known and unknown attacks directed at
the Web server, its resources and applications.
The new Entercept Web server protection for Apache builds upon the
operating system level protection offered in the standard edition by providing
exclusive "shielding" functionality and HTTP protection technology that
further safeguards the Apache Web server from intrusion. Shielding is
designed to protect the Apache Web server and its resources, including data.
The shield provides a protective envelope for Apache that prevents
unauthorized and/or malicious use of the Web server. The result is proven
prevention of both known and unknown attacks targeted specifically against Web
servers, application or files.
Entercept provides HTTP protection against attacks directed against the
Apache Web server. A parsing process that checks the HTTP stream and
identifies if it's malicious communication, can then take preventative action
to block such attacks. Full application protection is achieved in conjunction
with other Entercept defense methodologies, including operating system,
resource protection and shielding. In addition to Apache, Entercept also
protects Microsoft IIS Web Server.
Entercept's new Web Server Edition for Apache provides essential
protection beyond the firewall. It provides proactive real-time analysis and
reaction to hacking attempts, preventing systems from being compromised from
both known and unknown attacks. Straightforward and quickly understood,
Entercept's ease of deployment makes it simple to implement server security
measures, eliminating the tedious and complex tasks associated with Web server
security. Entercept protects organizations from embarrassing Web site
defacements, data theft and misuse. In addition to Solaris, Entercept also
protects Windows NT and Windows 2000 platforms.
"Firewalls and encryption are only partial solutions to protecting the Web
server," said Entercept's senior vice president Robin Matlock. "Securing Web
sites, corporate assets and customer data requires dedicated server security.
Our new Web server protection for Apache incorporates our award-winning
shielding and HTTP technologies that prevent attacks threatening e-servers."
Earlier last year, Entercept introduced its 2.0 Web Server Edition, which was
recently named by InfoWorld Magazine as one of the top ten technologies of the
year 2000.
