Aladdin Arms Channel with New eSafe Web Threat Analyzer - Unique Tool Offers Transparent
Content Security Audits to Measure Web Defenses
Web Threat Analyzer (WTA) exposes content security vulnerabilities in an organization's
network; provides a detailed audit report of potential and real threats that bypass
existing security solutions
-
SAN FRANCISCO - RSA CONFERENCE, February 5, 2007
- Aladdin Knowledge Systems Ltd. (NASDAQ: ALDN) the leader in Software
DRM, strong authentication and
content security solutions, today announced the release of its eSafe
Web Threat Analyzer (WTA), a dedicated security appliance designed to provide Aladdin's
global network of channel partners with a simple, fast tool for evaluating and reporting
customers' existing Web vulnerabilities through a fast, transparent audit.
-
Current security solutions only alert organizations to intrusions they were able
to intercept. Conducting a straightforward, detailed threat audit, the Aladdin eSafe
WTA content security appliance fits transparently at the network entrance - it does
not require any changes to the network or interfere with network traffic -- and
collects information on Web threats that pass through an organization's current
defenses. It then provides detailed reports that identify threats hidden from conventional
firewalls, intrusion detection/prevention systems, URL filters, and gateway antivirus,
utilizing its unique ability to perform fast, deep inspection of all Web activity.
-
Aladdin eSafe WTA is able to inspect Web traffic for any size organization without
interruption, providing a detailed set of 20 different activity reports and an audit
summary reviewing findings that highlight important threats and problematic activities.
The new audit tool monitors all HTTP traffic, including all Web browsing, Web site
access by categories, inbound and outbound spyware communications, and unauthorized
Internet-enabled applications.
-
"With the unchecked rise in random and targeted Web-based malware attacks reaching
enterprises today, organizations cannot leave their Internet defenses to chance,"
said Katie Gotzen, research analyst, ICT-Security for international research firm
Frost & Sullivan. "This new auditing tool from Aladdin provides a means of evaluating
a network's security at what continues to be a critical weak point in most organizations."
-
In a recently published report, Aladdin's Content Security Response Team (CSRT)
noted an enormous 1,300 percent growth of Web-based threats in 2006. A revolution
in the type and volume of threats took place during the last two years. Organized
crime groups realized they can make huge profits with low risk, drafting hackers
to their ranks. They also realized there is a huge security gap they can exploit
- the Web. An unprecedented 150,000 new Web threats were discovered in 2006, approximately
1,300 percent greater than 2005. Today, the majority of threats are Web-borne spyware
and Trojans, infecting at random or as targeted phishing attacks. Targeted Web attacks
continue to soar, making conventional anti-virus solutions more obsolete than ever
before.
