CP Secure Introduces Intranet Anti-Worm Appliance; Prevents Outbreaks of Zero-Day and Known Worms Within Networks.

CUPERTINO, Calif. -- CP Secure, Inc. (http://www.cpsecure.com), a leading innovator of enterprise-class anti-malware solutions, announced today the introduction of WormSecure(TM) 500, a dedicated network anti-worm appliance. WormSecure protects organizations' intranets from outbreaks of unknown and known network worms introduced through infected mobile devices and other sources.

The challenge of securing networks from today's malware threats has increased with the spread of mobile devices and sophisticated worms. As more notebook computers and other mobile devices are added to networks, the boundaries of network perimeters have blurred and network endpoints have become attack vectors for worms. These worms, often zero-day exploits, bypass perimeter defenses by infecting vulnerable notebook computers and then attacking networks from within.

WormSecure is focused on detecting and stopping network worms, so it eliminates the many false alarms associated with other technologies that attempt to detect all types of threats. It also automatically contains worm outbreaks, without impacting organization continuity, to minimize remediation time and costs.

"Despite organizations' previous investments in information security products, the outbreak of zero-day and known worms within networks remains a costly problem," said David Lu, president and CEO of CP Secure, Inc. "WormSecure was designed specifically to solve the problem of network worm outbreaks, without producing false alarms or interrupting organizations' mission-critical operations."

WormSecure provides: high performance TCP, UDP, and ICMP packet-scanning throughput of 500Mb per second to stop worms faster than they can attack; both behavior- and signature-based detection engines to block outbreaks of unknown and known worms; a comprehensive network worm signature library; network segmentation of around 500 computers into six security zones; automatic and granular quarantine that blocks only malicious traffic, so organizations may continue functioning and infected computers may still use the network to obtain the latest patches and signatures; identification and monitoring of infected computers for faster remediation; secure Web interface administration that includes summary data, logs, reports, and granular policy options; and fast deployment as an in-line, transparent bridge or multi-bridge.

As part of a layered defense, WormSecure complements organizations' existing gateway and endpoint security products. For a comprehensive solution, WormSecure works together with CP Secure's Content Security Gateway(TM) appliances to defend network perimeters and interiors against worms, viruses, and spyware attacking through the Internet gateway and infected mobile endpoints. WormSecure also provides defense-in-depth to endpoint anti-malware products that serve as the initial line of defense at the end points.

Availability and Pricing

The WormSecure 500 appliance is available immediately and is priced at US$9,900 per unit. The simplified per unit licensing includes hardware, software for an unlimited number of users, and the first year of standard support.
