1-800-HOSTING Chooses netZentry's FloodGuard Product over IPS and IDS Solutions to Protect its Customers and Network from Attack.

PALO ALTO, Calif. -- The FloodGuard Network Defense System (NDS) Protects 1-800-HOSTING Automatically, with Little Human Involvement, Resulting in 100% Uptime During an Attack

netZentry, a leader in advanced network-level defense security technologies, today announced that 1-800-HOSTING, a leading hosting provider, has chosen its FloodGuard product to detect, track and mitigate attacks.

Citing the need to protect each and every endpoint against outside attacks and from attacks that may occur from within the network, 1-800-HOSTING began in January a four-month evaluation process of several leading IPS and IDS vendors. netZentry was the only NDS vendor tested. During the testing period, 1-800-HOSTING realized that IPS and IDS solutions did not offer adequate or complete protection for their customer base and chose the netZentry FloodGuard solution for its ability to detect, track and mitigate attacks coming from any endpoint to any endpoint automatically in seconds.

"netZentry's FloodGuard technology has given us the power to effectively control and mitigate DDOS attacks in a more efficient manner than was previously available by using traditional reactive measures. Instead of allowing malicious traffic to enter our network, it is now filtered at our border with minimal to no interaction required on our part. We are now able to maintain 100% network availability during these attacks while also protecting our customers individually by tailoring the product to meet their specific needs," said Chris Shaffer, Director of Network Services for 1-800-HOSTING. "The architecture of the product will allow us to scale as we grow without incurring the high overhead costs associated with competing provider's solutions that were evaluated as part of our selection process. We look forward to including per customer reporting for clients to view via their online portal as well as integrating the solution with our ticketing system to better track problem resolution and customer notifications."

The netZentry Solution

netZentry's FloodGuard Product uses advanced technology to learn network behavior and detect, verify, track and mitigate inside and outside attacks simultaneously, with one solution. FloodGuard's unique CLT (Continuous Learning Technology) feature learns network traffic patterns at the individual endpoint level allowing organizations to protect every endpoint on the network. Detection accuracy is extremely high, reducing the number of false positives most IDS/IPS systems generate. With it, multimodal networks can protect endpoints with various traffic patterns easily.

"We are pleased to have 1-800-HOSTING as a customer," said Elizabeth Perry, CEO. "They are a great company to work with and we look forward to protecting their fast growing network of customers."
