Bee Ware Expands into the UK.Growing Demand for Application Performance and Security Products Prompts New Entry to UK Market LONDON -- Bee Ware([R]), the leading provider of secure web-enabled delivery solutions in Europe has expanded into the UK market with a new breed of application delivery technology that provides accelerated application security, using a combination of strong intelligent behaviour analysis, application layer threat protection and high performance platforms. Spearheading Bee Ware's expansion into the UK is CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. Christophe Guyard, an internet security ''This article or section is being rewritten at Internet security is the process of protecting data and privacy of devices connected to internet from information robbery, hacking, malware infection and unwanted software. pioneer who was previously the CEO and founder of AXIANS, one of Europe's largest network and security integrators. Guyard heads a team of 6 in the UK with headquarters in London. "With the rapid growth of Web applications and services, organisations today are concerned about the issue of delivery. Not just because of the inherent multiple vulnerabilities exposing corporate and customer data to dynamic new risks but also because the demand for continuous availability and instantaneous response requires a high level of confidence in the applications that businesses run on. Networks are now relatively well safeguarded and therefore malicious users and hackers are directing their attacks to business applications," commented Guyard. "In addition to this, our market study has shown us that UK organisations, whilst concerned with security, are concentrating primarily on application performance and availability. We believe we can help in all three areas without compromising on any of the requirements." Reflecting the growing problem of lack of trust in web applications, the recent Get Safe Online study released by the government found 21% of respondents felt most at risk from internet based crime; more than that of being burgled. Furthermore recent security indicators have highlighted the accelerating problem of application based attacks such as SQL injection SQL injection is a technique that exploits a security vulnerability occurring in the database layer of an application. The vulnerability is present when user input is either incorrectly filtered for string literal escape characters embedded in SQL statements or user input is not , Cross-Site Scripting See XSS. and PHP-include, which are now the three biggest security threats and account for 45% of today's attacks. "Our solutions provide comprehensive, proactive application level protection from security breaches that conventional firewalls and other types of security devices cannot detect or prevent. We are set to be a major player providing an effective way for organisations to have confidence in their applications through a model we call Secure Web Enabled Delivery." Guyard continued.

It is designed to detect both known or unknown application attacks as well as any malicious application usage. ICX includes proven positive and negative security models, transparent behaviour based Neural Network neural network or neural computing, computer architecture modeled upon the human brain's interconnected system of neurons. Neural networks imitate the brain's ability to sort out patterns and learn from trial and error, discerning and extracting attack detection, Automated Process Detection and Web Services protection mechanisms.
