Web Content Security NewsWeb Content Guarder Directory - Return to News Menu CyberGuard Raises the Bar for Web Filtering Security with Triple Anti-Virus Engines for its Webwasher Content Security Suite New Webwasher CSM 5.2 Version Includes One-Click Lockdown Feature to Keep Businesses Under Heavy Attack Running and Integrated Identity Theft Protection Bracknell, UK, June 28, 2005 - CyberGuard Corporation (Nasdaq: CGFW), a global provider of security solutions that protect the critical components of the largest and most complex information networks for Global 2000 enterprises and government organizations, today announced a powerful new content security solution that simultaneously scans using up to three anti-virus engines to thwart security threats individual anti-virus engines may miss, thereby proactively preventing the loss of sensitive data to identity thieves. Webwasher CSM 5.2, the newest version of CyberGuard's Content Security Management Suite, also delivers a unique 'One-Click Lockdown' feature which enables organizations to weather heavy attacks by triggering a lockdown of vulnerable areas of the network while allowing necessary applications to run uninterrupted. Webwasher CSM 5.2 will be generally available in July. Though all anti-virus vendors claim to offer full coverage of known viruses and end-to-end protection, recent data proves otherwise. According to the 2004 CSI/FBI Computer Crime and Security Survey, 99% of companies use anti-virus software, yet 78% of them were hit by viruses, worms and other malware. This occurs in large part because anti-virus vendors are often one step behind the latest attack trends and unable to identity new theft schemes such as 'phishing', 'pharming' or 'ransom-ware' until after they have caused extensive damage to unsuspecting users. "Large enterprises and government organizations are under the false impression that a single anti-virus solution will guard against any threat," said Pat Clawson, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, CyberGuard. "By combining our Proactive Security Filters with three top-rated anti-virus engines, our customers can remain on the offensive, thwarting attacks before they occur and preventing these incidents from negatively impacting their bottom line." By delivering up to three anti-virus engines working in tandem, CSM 5.2: "Organizations are hard-pressed to keep pace with the increasing volume and maliciousness of identity thieves and virus writers," said Brian Burke, Research Manager of Security Products, IDC. "The comprehensive and proactive functionality of Webwasher's CSM suite - including the impressive 'One-Click Lockdown' feature - is an approach that would enable many customers to stay ahead of the malicious code challenge." 'One-Click Lockdown' is a powerful and unique security tool that enables network administrators to fend off potential zero-day attacks, network worms or malware that is rapidly spreading through the internet. Traditionally, large enterprises and organizations under heavy attack pull the plug and shut down everything to contain the damage - which not only disrupts business operations but adversely impacts the bottom line. With 'One-Click Lockdown' organizations can pre-configure settings in advance so that if a massive, fast-moving attack does occur, network administrators can click a single button, shut down sensitive areas of the business without affecting other applications or network functions. CSM 5.2 also includes an Anti-Phishing Filter that effectively blocks phishing e-mails by double checking links against known phishing sites and providing a two-way filter to detect potentially infected PCs that are hijacked and used as spamming machines distributing phishing e-mails. Other new or enhanced features in CSM 5.2 include: Comprehensive life and log file reporting on viruses in Web and e-mail; Extended URL-Filter Categories and Simple Network Monitoring Protocol (SNMP) support. Pricing About CyberGuard Corporation Forward-Looking Statement Answer the Phone: Your Identity is on the Line Beverly Hills, CA -- (ArriveNet - May 06, 2005) -- There hasn't been much good news in the battle against identity theft lately, with fraudsters staying one step ahead of the game. But don't panic, our old friend the telephone has come to the rescue. We're all aware of the problem of identity theft, but did you know that your local pizza chain has had a solution for years? You recognize it as the system that prevents little Johnny from having twenty pizzas delivered to your door at midnight: the pizza chain calls you immediately after the order is placed to verify the validity of the order. Because little Johnny is afraid to be caught, he'll think twice about causing this pizza-related havoc. TeleSign's patent-pending verification system has transferred this pizza concept to the high-tech world. It works like this: after filling out a form on a website, the user is prompted to enter his phone number. A robotic system then places a call to that number and speaks aloud a unique three digit code. Once that code is entered into the website, the authentication is complete. This system can be implemented at any point on a website: at registration, purchase, a specific time interval, or at the request of a user. Email verification is the current standard for user authentication, but email may end up filtered, junked, bulked, or trashed. Because of spam, viruses, and phishing, email filtering has become so aggressive that even legitimate emails don't reach the inbox. But a telephone call cannot be stopped, making this the perfect time for the introduction of TeleSign’s solution. The future of ecommerce is threatened by rampant fraud and lack of trust. TeleSign will force anonymous users to expose their faces by revealing their working phone numbers.
