Herzliya, Israel, March 21, 2006 -- Applicure Technologies, a leader in web application security solutions, has announced the release of dotDefender 2.1 and TotalShield 2.0 for the Sun JavaTM Enterprise System (Java ES) running on the SolarisTM 10 Operating System (OS). Integrated within the Sun Java Composite Application Platform Suite (Java CAPS), these advanced Web security solutions provide attack filtering and blocking capabilities that further enhance the robust Sun platform.

"As the number of web attacks increases exponentially, many small and medium-sized organizations are looking for strong, intuitive and cost-effective security solutions to protect their web-enabled business environments." says Omer Golan, VP Marketing & Business Development of Applicure Technologies. "dotDefender was designed to provide an easy to use Web security solution that provides powerful protection against web-based threats. For larger organizations, the pain usually revolves around the need to provide advanced monitoring and auditing of all user actions across the Web, Application and database tiers that comprise the organization’s Web environment. With TotalShield, that capability is now available."

dotDefender 2.1 is a powerful security software solution that resides on the Web server, where it intercepts and analyzes incoming HTTP requests: those that are found to violate the defined rules are blocked – ensuring that malicious attacks seeking to compromise mission-critical Web applications or data assets are denied entry into the Web environment. dotDefender protects against a broad range of attacks, such as: Denial of Service, SQL Injection, Cross-site Scripting, Cookie Tampering, Path Traversal, Probes, Session Hijacking and attacks from known sources. It installs within moments on the Web server, along with a rule-base that stays current via “live update” functionality - enabling dotDefender to protect the Web environment from the moment it is deployed with virtually no administrator intervention. dotDefender 2.1 supports the Sun Java Web Server and the Apache Web Server running on the Solaris OS. A 15-day free evaluation period version is available for download at, www.dotDefender.com

TotalShield 2.0 is a patent-pending, end-to-end enterprise security solution for the enterprise web environment. It employs strong, system-level protection to enforce access policies for different users. Its unique capabilities allow it to track HTTP request execution in real time across Web, Application, and Database tiers, in any application architecture – ensuring that those policies are enforced at any and all stages, and leaving no points of vulnerability for hackers to exploit. At the same time, TotalShield utilizes an intuitive “positive security” approach that engenders minimal maintenance overhead. TotalShield is a 100% software-based solution that deploys directly on the Web and application servers without disrupting the existing network infrastructure. TotalShield 2.0 supports the Sun Java Application server and the Solaris OS.
