November 20, 2001 — (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Zeus Technology Limited (zeus.com), a provider of Web server software and solutions, announced that its customers will now be able
r
to evaluate the Zeus Secure Web Serving Solution.
r
r
The Secure Web Serving Solution is designed to sit in front of Microsoft’s
r
IIS Web server, identifying and discarding incoming attempts to exploit
r
vulnerabilities in customers’ IIS servers or other internal infrastructure
r
without the need for wholesale platform migration. Based on the Zeus Web
r
Server, the solution demonstrates many of the anti-denial-of-service
r
features that will be released in the next major release of the Zeus Web
r
Server.
r
r
These features include parsing incoming requests and blocking discreet URLs
r
described by a set of rules. The rule set can be modified or updated
r
dynamically, so that modifying the rules in anticipation of a new attack
r
requires no downtime, or even a server restart.
r
r
As part of the development of anti-denial-of-service technology, the Zeus
r
Secure Web Serving Solution allows customers to build an “HTTP Firewall”; a
r
gatekeeper that protects existing infrastructure from attacks from the
r
Internet.
r
r
“The Zeus Secure Web Serving Solution will enable organisations that have
r
been plagued by Code-Red and Nimda to quickly secure their infrastructure
r
against these attacks whilst maintaining their investment in Microsoft
r
technology,” said Zeus CEO John Paterson.
r
r
The Zeus Secure Web Serving Solution will initially be available to
r
customers who wish to evaluate or deploy the solution as part of a preview
r
programme. Full availability is expected in Q1, 2002.
