admin — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 03:11:00 +0000

NEW ALBANY, OH (PRWEB) January 24, 2012

Privacyware, an innovative provider of pc security, web application firewall and security data analytics software, today announced the availability of the latest update of its award-winning IIS Web Application Firewall and Intrusion Prevention solution, ThreatSentry. The product update adds native module architecture for IIS 7, enhanced database support, expanded filtering capabilities and domain-specific configuration options.

ThreatSentry identifies and blocks web application threats such as Structured Query Language (SQL) Injection, DDoS, Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF/XSRF), Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) and other types of attacks and helps system administrators comply with regulatory demands such as Section 6.6 of the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). ThreatSentry?s core defense modules are augmented by an integrated driver-level firewall that delivers full port blocking of untrusted IP Address and a behavior-based Intrusion prevention component that profiles typical request activity and can detect unusual events and patterns indicative of zero-day and targeted attacks. ThreatSentry supports Windows Server 2008/R2, 2003 and 2000 and IIS 7.x (native IIS7 module), 6 (ISAPI Extension) and 5 (ISAPI Filter) on 32 and 64 bit systems. ThreatSentry was recently awarded the 2011 Golden Bridge Award for Innovation in Information Technology in the Web Application Firewall Category.

The ThreatSentry software update offers significant enhancements that ease deployment and improve implementation. Key highlights of the new release include:

Converted ISAPI filter and extension based architecture to a native IIS7 module to reduce errors and streamline the deployment process for administrators.

Added support for multiple ThreatSentry installations on a single SQL instance to enhance solution deployment flexibility.

Added domain-specific URL Exclusion options to improve control over request filtering.

?ThreatSentry?s enhanced web server request filtering capabilities enable administrators to better target malicious traffic and reduce the risk of web server breach,? said Privacyware CEO Greg Salvato. ?Beyond the improved web security benefit, this update also delivers significant efficiencies through new or expanded deployment and maintenance options. This software release exemplifies our ongoing commitment to delivering consistently improved Web Application Firewall technology to our compliance and system administrator clientele.?

ThreatSentry delivers proactive, multi-layered defense for IIS and prevents attacks from exploiting web application vulnerabilities through a complementary set of integrated components.

State-of-the-art Web Application Firewall: Provides configurable rules-based control over HTTP/HTTPS request methods (OPTIONS, GET, POST, HEAD), URL Paths, URL Query String length, and HTTP Request Headers, rule-specific URL/s exclusion capabilities, URI Encoding support, Regular Expression support for parameter rules/filtering, etc.

Fully integrated Firewall: Proprietary NDIS driver delivers flexible network IP blocking (featuring white list, black list and duration control) at TCP/IP and UDP layers for all ports.

Behavior-based Intrusion Prevention: Adaptive, behavior-based engine (with sensitivity control) analyzes Web traffic patterns to detect new threats and behavioral anomalies and deviations.

Anti-DoS/DDoS: Configurable request frequency monitor blocks successive requests to individual or all site pages to reduce the risk of DoS and DDoS attacks.

Pricing and Availability

ThreatSentry is available for purchase or 30-day trial download via the Privacyware web site or through business partners worldwide. Starting at just $ 649 per server, ThreatSentry is priced to maximize constrained IT budgets and supports Microsoft Windows Server 2008/R2, 2003, 2000 and Internet Information Services (IIS) 7/7.x, 6, and 5.

Lose the Screws: FirmTek Debuts 2.5″ Trayless Hard Drive/Solid State Drive Enclosure Solution

admin — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 23:10:58 +0000

Union City, CA (PRWEB) January 10, 2012

FirmTek, LLC, the world’s leading developer of Serial ATA solutions for Apple Macintosh and PC systems, today announces the miniSwap/ES. An industry first and perfect for solid state drives (SSD) and 2.5″ Serial ATA (SATA) hard drives, the miniSwap/ES enclosure provides trayless, hot-swap, 2.5″ dual-bay, external enclosure support for Mac and PC computers.

The miniSwap/ES Changes Everything!

The trayless, dual-bay miniSwap/ES was created to provide 2.5″ storage devices with blazing fast SATA 6G bandwidth, amazingly simple disk mounting, ultra-quiet operation and user selectable digital power modes that support auto-on or manual power-on in the case of a power disconnect. The small, ultra-light, yet rugged miniSwap/ES can be integrated as a portable on-the-go 2.5″ dual-bay enclosure, or as a space saving, high performance, trayless 2.5″ desktop drive mounting station. Multiple miniSwap/ES enclosures can be cascaded to provide advanced RAID performance, expanded capacity and simple or complex storage configurations.

The miniSwap/ES incorporates an innovative backplane design with no internal cabling which helps to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) and improve convective cooling. It supports 2.5″ Serial ATA (SATA) hard drives and solid state drives (SSD). The unique miniSwap/ES trayless bay design supports standard 2.5-inch 9.5mm height devices along with 7mm, 12.5mm and even larger disks up to 14.9mm.

Do Away with the Tray

The miniSwap/ES silver aluminum chassis features an attractive design, made from extruded aluminum to keep weight at a minimum while maintaining firm structural rigidity. “Loading a 2.5-inch hard disk or SSD is as easy as inserting a bare drive into the miniSwap/ES and closing the bay door. That’s it! No tray, no screws and no tools required,” said Chi Kim Stanford, Vice President of Business Development. The high quality, detailed construction of the miniSwap/ES allows each 2.5″ drive to connect with the FirmTek direct-connect backplane and instantly communicate with the computer. Each miniSwap/ES bay is tied to the computer with its own dedicated eSATA data cable. This connection method maximizes performance while providing superior SATA controller compatibility.

Instant Data Access

The miniSwap/ES is compatible with virtually every external SATA host adapter and built-in SATA port. In addition, the SATA 6G miniSwap/ES enclosure can support bandwidth of up to 600MBytes/sec or 6.0Gbits/sec per drive. The trayless, direct-connect miniSwap/ES enclosure is designed to excel with audio/video editing, computer animation, digital photography, portable computing, storage expansion, backup and any application where external, flexible trayless, hot-swap, high performance, data storage is desirable. FirmTek customers who appreciate the power of SSD and the portability and quiet operation of 2.5″ storage devices will love the miniSwap/ES.

BlueStacks Announces “Mr.Android” 2011

admin — Mon, 02 Jan 2012 21:11:38 +0000

Campbell, CA (PRWEB) December 29, 2011

Android on Windows company BlueStacks has announced its first annual “Mr.Android.” The company built a proxy for the average Android user employing data from Nielsen, along with a poll of its 145,000 Facebook fans.

The data revealed some interesting statistics, such as the fact that a full third of Android users have never downloaded a paid app, and more eccentric nuggets such as the fact that 18% reported having unusually large heads. 37% of Android users reported wearing glasses.

To turn the data into photos, the company turned to Brazilian designer Pablo de la Rocha. “I loved the idea of an amalgam of the different aspects of the Android user,” said de la Rocha. “It’s one of those things where you don’t know how it’s going to look until you try. It came out pretty weird, which is why we love it.”

BlueStacks says it plans to release a “Ms.Android” in 2012. The Mr.Android graphic can be found at http://bluestacks.com/mr-android-2011/. The company has made embed code available at the bottom of the page.

BlueStacks recently announced its Android Apps on PC software passed 550,000 downloads since the release of its alpha version in October. A beta release is expected in the new year. The free download is available at http://BlueStacks.com.
