Helsinki, Finland - 15 December 2010- Stonesoft, an innovative provider ofintegrated network security and business continuity solutions, today announcedthat Gartner, inc. has positioned it in the Niche Players quadrant in theNetwork Intrusion Prevention system (IPS) Magic Quadrant based on evaluation ofits StoneGate IPS. Gartner evaluates vendors based on their ability to executeand the completeness of their vision.
"We are pleased to be recognized in Gartner´s Network IPS Magic Quadrant, " saidAri Vänttinen, vice president of marketing at Stonesoft. "We believe it echoeswhat we hear from our customers - that our commitment to research anddevelopment, as well as customer service, has delivered a powerful IPS solutionthat meets the highest security demands and removes the complexity of managingthe network security."
StoneGate IPS appliances are available for both physical and virtualenvironments and protect vulnerable applications and operating systems from themost sophisticated threats without impacting network speeds and performance.StoneGate IPS appliances include built-in high availability technologies, transparent (layer-2) firewall capabilities, and SSL inspection for both client-and server-side protection. in addition, the StoneGate IPS is one of the fewproduction-ready IPS available to receive the distinguished ICSA Labs´ NetworkIPS certification.
The family of StoneGate IPS appliances are also the only anti-evasion readydevices on the market today. Because the StoneGate IPS device is centrallymanaged and built upon a software-based architecture, the device can be easilyand quickly updated to protect against advanced evasion techniques (AETs). AETsare a new category of network evasion techniques that allow payloads to bedelivered across the network without being detected by traditional IPSsolutions. while there is not a current solution available to protect againstthe infinite possibilities of AETs, Stonesoft research in the area has enabledit to quickly update its IPS technology against all known threats as they arediscovered.
