| FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
January 29, 2004
PORTUS Application Protection System for network security has again proved its worth to our customers. PORTUS is successfully defending protected networks against this week's three major e-mail attacks, W32/Bagle, W32/Novarg and MyDoom. With PORTUS configured to block e-mails with executable attachments, these viruses fail to enter the network. There is no need to depend on user-compliance to prevent the opening of malicious attachments. Network security personnel are freed from the hopeless task of creating blocking lists based on ever mutating subject lines or "From:" addresses. E-mail with executable attachments can be sequestered for further handling or simply rejected. With PORTUS there is no need to wait and worry while anti-virus software
vendors play catch up. PORTUS has been on the market for 10 years and is on its 14th release. PORTUS is a complete Application Protection System for network security. PORTUS has an unblemished 10 year record of never suffering a security breech or compromise at any customer location. No vulnerabilities have ever been reported by independent security watchdog organizations such as CERT, SANS, Bugtraq and NIPC. PORTUS is more than a firewall as it integrates the following functions into a single product: application level defenses, application proxies, stateful packet filtering, circuit gateways, VPN, intrusion detection (IDS), intrusion prevention (IPS), content filtering, SPAM filtering, secure remote management, automated self management, real-time network and security monitoring, and an extensive suite of forensic reporting tools PORTUS Application Defense System is supported on LINUX®, AIX® and Solaris®.
