Corero Protects Its Customers From ‘Apache Killer’ DoS Exploit

Leave a comment

Company’s Intrusion Prevention Systems Mitigate Threats to Apache Server, The World’s Most Widely Used Web Server.

Hudson, MA, Thursday – September 08, 2011 — Corero Network Security (CNS:LN), a leading global provider of Network Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) and Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) Defense Systems, notified customers that it protects them from the ‘Apache Killer’ denial of service (DoS) exploit with its IPS 5500 products. ‘Apache Killer’ exploits a vulnerability found in the Apache Web Server software. Although hundreds of DoS vulnerabilities have been discovered in commercial and open-source software so far in 2011, this particular vulnerability is significant since Apache Server is the world’s most popular web server, with nearly 66 percent of the market or nearly 200 million web sites in use, according to Netcraft.

Corero’s IPS 5500 provides proactive protection for the Apache Killer exploit as a result of its two-tiered “PVM+DVM” Stateful Protocol Analysis (SPA) implementation. In this case, the IPS 5500 HTTP Protocol Validation Module (PVM) detects and blocks attempts to cause the denial of service condition on the Apache servers. No new signatures were required for this protection which was built in to Corero’s IPS solutions.

“Our IPS solution is unique in that it is purpose built to protect not only against traditional flood-based DDoS and new application layer attacks but also attacks like the Apache Killer. We safeguard our customers’web servers from Apache Killer denial of service exploits that can be caused by just a very small number of network transactions,” said Mike Paquette, chief strategy officer, Corero Network Security.

About Corero’s IPS Solution:
The IPS 5500 EC-Series and ES-Series products are Corero’s most advanced generation family of Intrusion Prevention Systems.

He was a key member of the management team that successfully completed the sale of ExtendMedia to Cisco Systems, Inc. in September 2010.

Before joining ExtendMedia, Meyer was COO and CFO of several high-tech start-ups including Bowstreet (now part of IBM), a provider of enterprise portal software solutions, Ucentric Systems (now part of Motorola), a provider of networked DVR software solutions and Xedia Corporation (now part of Alcatel Lucent), a provider of intelligent network routers.

Home Security Systems Sales at an All Time High

Leave a comment

March 25, 2011 – Residential security systems seem to be on an ascendant trend when it comes to sales. The police report more security-system signs outside homes in most jurisdictions as well as less unidentified burglaries thanks to CCTV systems and the immediate setting off of the burglar alarm, which facilitates a faster arrival of the officers. Moreover, the home security companies are proliferating year after year. Door to door sales and the great employment movements made in this particular field are important factors in this particular trend. Also, the fear of the rising robberies and theft risks is inspiring people to opt for Maryland security systems. In addition, a home security system is advantageous when it comes to discounts on home insurances.

Experts believe that in spite of the economic hardships the world is facing, there is a certain link between the recession and the security systems sales boost. While on one hand, customers are only willing to spend in essential areas, the home security field is experiencing a growth due to the feeling of protection that clients are yearning for and believe they can only achieve through the purchase of a surveillance system. Sociologists have expressed their concern regarding the rising waves of infractions that are characteristic for every recession period and the clients are well aware of this fact. Therefore, in order to significantly lower the chances of having their houses broken into, people prefer to invest into a home security system, rather than having their most precious assets stolen.

About Home Security Systems

Surveys point out that although the general feeling might be that the neighborhood is safe, most citizens are much more confident to leave the house for the day, the weekend or for a longer period when a sign for Virginia home security is displayed next to their doors. Some confessed that the rationale behind this comfort is that Virginia Authorized Vector Security systems are more than just Virginia burglar alarms. The characteristics of a Virginia home security system to also be sensitive to carbon monoxide and fires is essential for its’ purchase and the happiness of the client.

Nowadays, the top notch Virginia Authorized Vector Security dealers are providing state of the art surveillance services. Also, the technological progress is advantageous for an easy install and a user-friendly handling. Not only that, but also the reputable Maryland security systems cater to the maintenance needs that such a system may have. Usually, both wireless and hard wire Virginia burglar alarms and Virginia home security systems request maintenance or updating at least once a year. Do-it-yourself security systems are avoidable because they do not provide the household members with a panic button in case of emergency, nor do they work in close collaboration with the police, firefighters or medical ambulances.

The need for psychological comfort is great in modern days. This is why knowing your house is protected by the Virginia home security systems and is under the careful watch offered by Virginia CCTV is a reason to be at peace every time you leave your house. Maryland security systems are at your disposal 24 hours a day, so you know your safety is their number one priority.
