The First Monitoring Tool to Identify Attacks on Websites and Intranet Applications as they Happen

Applicure Technologies, an expert in application security products for websites and organizational portals, launches the first software tool to alert in real time upon any attempt to attack the Web server. dotDefender Monitor detects attacks using a database of hundreds of advanced security rules, while an intuitive log viewer allows users to quickly receive information about who is attacking their application. dotDefender Monitor can be downloaded for free from www.applicure.com .
dotDefender Monitor is recommended for use on any web server, in addition to other security measures. This product provides an invaluable assessment of the adequacy of existing security measures to the level of actual attacks.
dotDefender Monitor is based on the technology of dotDefender™, Applicure’s plug & play web application firewall. dotDefender Monitor issues reports on application attacks, sources of attack, and which application vulnerabilities they target.
Applicure’s application security products protect against a variety of application-level threats, including SQL Injection, Cross-Site Scripting, Cookie Tampering, and more. These easy-to-use products are constantly updated with new security rules, through an automatic update mechanism. Applicure provides solutions for all popular servers, including Apache, IIS and Microsoft ISA Server.
Yaacov Sherban, Applicure’s VP Marketing and Business Development commented: “Organization tend to think that the firewall and the anti-virus protect them against hacking. Once they install dotDefender Monitor they will be surprised by the results. This software will assist them in making informed decisions, based on accurate findings.”
Following the launch of dotDefender Monitor, Steve Hunt, founder of 4A International, LLC, former research director at Forrester and Giga, commented: “Companies and their customers rely on the Internet for doing business, despite the myriad threats lurking. Web application server security is one of the obvious measures a company must take to do business responsibly these days.”
Michal Helman, Senior Analyst & VP, Compliance, Risk & Security Strategies at Schwarzkopf Knowledge Integrators, added: “Protecting business data has become a critical organizational need, and a significant growth engine for the web application security market. Other drivers include regulation, as well as the growing reliance on web applications and web services.
The global market is estimated at $200,000,000, and expected to reach $652,000,000 by 2011, and we observe the growing use of web application firewalls in organizations.
Applicure Technologies’ dotDefender™ provides a solution that is simple to implement, easy to maintain, and realistically priced, so SMBs can benefit from a type of protection that has become essential for businesses. In addition, dotDefender Monitor is recommended for checking the application security lineup, and fix the weaknesses discovered. ”
Sol Tzvi, Information Security Strategist, former ISA Product Manager at Microsoft, examined the new product and remarked: “The monitoring tool provided by Applicure Technologies, is an effective tool to understand the types of attacks organizational web servers are exposed to. I encourage every initiative that promotes the organization’s security alignment, and all the more so when the product is distributed as freeware.”
