New York, New York – August 17, 2006 – CounterStorm announced today that Info Security Products Guide, a Silicon Valley Communications publication and the world’s leading publication on security-related products and technologies, has named CounterStorm-1 winner of the Second Annual Best Deployment Scenario Awards 2006. The award for best deployment of an anti-worm product is the greatest endorsement to the fact that CounterStorm-1 is a best-of-the-best product that provides the highest degree of anti-worm protection to large enterprises, government, and other organizations.
CounterStorm-1 is extremely fast and accurate in identifying and stopping targeted attacks and wormstorms through a best-of-breed combination of behavioral attack recognition, anomaly detection and a dynamic honeypot. Evidence from each of these three engines is dynamically correlated in real-time to enable immediate and accurate identification and containment of malicious activity. CounterStorm does not rely on signatures or patches to stop attacks. This combination of rapid response, accuracy, and lack of dependence on signatures make it the most effective defense against targeted attacks and worm storms available on the market today.
“We are pleased to present this prestigious award for “Best Deployment Scenario” to CounterStorm,” says Rick Justice, Chief Technology Editor, Info Security Products Guide. “CounterStorm was honored based on its superior technologies that are making the most positive impact on security in today’s highly sophisticated and blended attacks environment.”
“Info Security Products Guide’s recognition of CounterStorm-1’s deployment further validates our product as best-in-class for protecting the internal network against volatile and highly dangerous wormstorms that can compromise data and bring down networks,” said Gil Arbel, CEO of CounterStorm. “CounterStorm is a signatureless device that goes beyond the functionality of IPS by ensuring the security of the internal network with the best security solution on the market. We are pleased that customers have chosen us for this important task and our efforts have been recognized.”
