Top Layer Networks announced the availability of the latest release of its flagship Attack Mitigator IPS 5500 family of intrusion prevention solutions.
Version 3 of the IPS 5500 expands on Top Layer's leadership position in providing superior levels of protection and performance for critical IT assets. The IPS 5500 now offers improved mechanisms for network-level and application-level protection from cyber threats including undesired access, malicious content, such as viruses, worms, Trojans and other remote exploits, and rate-based attacks, such as DoS, DDoS and other Flood attacks. With Top Layer's enhanced protection capabilities and globally proven anti-DDoS technology, the IPS 5500 offers more robust protection against existing cyber-threats and newly discovered "zero-day" exploits. Top Layer has also added new features that provide easier and faster deployment, improved configuration management, and improved detailed IPS analysis and reports.
"Those behind today's cyber threats are relentless and creative, identifying new software and systems vulnerabilities as well as utilizing social engineering tricks to penetrate a company's defenses," said Mike Paquette, Vice President of Marketing and Product Management at Top Layer. "The new release of our Attack Mitigator IPS 5500 provides a number of powerful enhancements that deliver the highest levels of protection and performance necessary for our customers to stay ahead of the cyber-threats and dynamic DDoS attacks that lurk online. In addition, we've added a number of improvements to the user interface and default security configurations that will help our customers easily deploy and quickly adapt the IPS 5500 solution to their specific needs."
"Companies in every industry are struggling to cope with the onslaught of IT security issues, from worms to application-level attacks to zero-day exploits," said Jim Slaby, senior analyst, the Yankee Group. "Top Layer's Attack Mitigator IPS 5500 delivers protection from all of these threats with the high performance necessary to stop attacks in-line, in real-time -- a critical requirement in today's security environment."
"Our network evolves day in and day out as new machines are plugged in and disconnected by students, faculty staff and visitors - each with their own security issues waiting to be unleashed," said Dave Foss, Assistant Director for Information Technology Services (RLE), MIT. "The advanced protection that Top Layer's intrusion prevention technology provides is an integral part of our security infrastructure that helps my team overcome the daily security challenges of an educational institution while also protecting us from those potentially catastrophic-level threats that lurk around the connected world."
