Palo Alto, CA. September 16, 2003 – WebCohort Inc., the leader in Next Generation Application Security today announced an agreement with a leading U.K. security specialist, Nebulas Security, as their first UK reseller of their application and database intrusion prevention System.
WebCohort’s SecureSphere™ solution represents the next generation in application protection as the only non-intrusive, application-aware solution that can accurately detect and block targeted attacks on Web applications and databases using unique HTTP and SQL anomaly algorithms and state of the art anomaly correlation engines.
Traditional perimeter firewall and intrusion-detection systems were easily bypassed by recent Web and database worms such as NIMDA, Code Red, and Slammer. Newer variants combining these same technologies with more processing power and better anomaly detection still cannot make sense of sophisticated application cracking attempts. Application firewalls, as they exist today, are performance-limiting and also cannot be aware of the expected behavior of the specific web application which they are designed to protect. Which leaves application attacks as the most practiced form of hacking today.
“Organizations are only beginning to come to terms with the size of threat that sophisticated application-level attacks represent,” observes John Reeman, Managing Director and Co-founder of London based Nebulas Security. “These threats will proliferate as organizations continue their deployment of web-based applications. It is vital to have a solution in place to protect the most valuable corporate asset – data – from theft, damage or misappropriation. WebCohort’s SecureSphere is the best solution available to solve this problem.”
Commenting on the announcement, Shlomo Kramer, WebCohort Co-founder and CEO & President, said: “I am delighted to welcome Nebulas Security to the WebCohort Partner Program. Nebulas Security is a highly professional and respected security leader in the UK market, and is an excellent partner to deliver our next-generation product into the UK market.”
