March 20, 2007 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Security software developer Secure64 (secure64.com) announced on Monday the availability of Secure64 DNS, DNS server software with built-in denial-of-service protection to help ensure Internet-dependent businesses are always accessible.
Secure64 says its new DNS software is completely immune to compromise from rootkits and malware and provides the highest authoritative DNS performance in the world at over 100,000 queries per second.
Features include increased performance and security, high-speed packet processing and the unique capability to protect and mitigate high volume denial-of-service attacks, reduced capital expenditures and reduction in power consumption, which eliminates operating system hardening and emergency vulnerability patching while greatly simplifying configuration.
"DNS is one of the weakest links in IT infrastructures," says Steve Goodbarn, president, CEO and director of Secure64. "Denial-of-service attacks and remotely exploitable security vulnerabilities threaten both the availability and integrity of existing domain name systems. If DNS servers go down, the Web goes down, email goes down and entire e-businesses go down. Secure64 DNS is the only DNS server software that can withstand denial-of-service attacks and still respond to legitimate queries, up to the saturation point of a Gigabit line."
