Web Hosting, Virtual Server Environment Protegrity Firewall Application, Awarded

Stamford, Connecticut - (The Hosting News) - August 22, 2008 - Data Security Management solutions firm, Protegrity Corporation’s Defiance Threat Management System, has been selected as the winner of the 2008 Best Products and Services Award.

The solution was named as the best web application firewall (WAF) in Network Products Guide’s Reader Trust Awards. Gordon Rapkin, CEO for Protegrity remarked, ”We are extremely pleased to have been recognized in the Reader Trust Awards as the best web application firewall. Defiance Threat Management System is a critical part of a complete security solution that ensures customers can defend their web applications against a growing number of attacks from increasingly sophisticated hackers.”

According to the Privacy Rights Clearinghouse, over 236 million data records have been compromised since January 2005. Approximately half of those records were compromised by hacking. Today’s hackers are more organized and have a clear sense of purpose — stealing sensitive data.

The need to protect web applications form hackers is further reinforced by Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) section 6.6 which requires organizations that accept credit card payments to either complete a full software code review of all of their web applications or deploy a web application firewall. Achieving PCI compliance compels organizations to not only protect their web applications but also protect their stored data, restrict access to sensitive data, and maintain an information security policy.

Phil Dinsmore, General Manager of Web Application Security for Protegrity added, ”Web applications are unfortunately too easy to exploit. Anyone with a browser has an entry point into unprotected applications and the data they use. Protegrity’s web application firewall, Defiance Threat Management System, combines enterprise class performance and configuration options to detect threats, block attacks, and generate application security alerts and reports.”

Defiance Threat Management System operates as an in-line gateway or out-of-band monitor. It can be deployed as software, a soft appliance, a hardware appliance or any combination of the three. The ability to be a completely ‘green’ solution, coupled with unparalleled deployment flexibility, make it an ideal choice for shared hosting and virtual server environments.

Protegrity delivers centralized data security management solutions that protect sensitive information from acquisition to deletion across the enterprise. Protegrity’s customers maintain complete protection over their data and business by employing software and solutions specifically designed to encrypt data, safeguard web applications, and manage and report on security policy.

The company’s singular focus is on developing solutions that protect data. Protegrity employees are security technology specialists with deep expertise in encryption, key management, web application firewalls and security policy in distributed environments. Maximize security with minimal business impact with Protegrity’s Defiance Suite, the high performance, transparent solution optimized for the dynamic enterprise.

Web Hosting Infrastructure Provider, iWeb Group, Expands to 15 Gbps Capacity

Quebec, Canada - (The Hosting News) - August 22, 2008 - Internet hosting infrastructure provider, iWeb Group Inc. and subsidiary of iWeb Technologies, will soon be completing its network expansion, to upgrade total network capacity to 15Gbps.

While adding three new carriers, the addition of these three new transit providers will mean better diversity, redundancy and reachability for all our customers and partners.

The following new carriers will be added to iWeb’s Network:

- T-Systems / Deutsche Telekom (In production)
- 3Men@Work / Bell Peering (In production)
- Level 3 Communications (Coming at the end of August)

With the additional transit providers, iWeb will be directly linked to more networks which will result in connections being more direct and more efficient for all customers. These additions will affect mostly the High Quality Network customers, but will also enhance incoming routes for its Redundant Unmetered Network customers; while also providing additional redundancy.

The Unmetered Network upgrade includes additional Cogent Bandwidth. Once all the upgrades will be completed, iWeb’s network will have a total network capacity of 15 Gbps dedicated to hosting services. The High-Quality Network and incoming routes will combine the networks of 7 carriers for a total of 11 Gbps, while the Redundant Unmetered Network (Cogent-based) now totals 4 Gbps. It is important to note that each part of iWeb’s network (High Quality and Unmetered) is configured to backup the other if necessary and that customers of both networks benefit from all available routes for incoming traffic.

Below is complete list of its network composition: - 3 Gbps with Videotron Telecom
- 3 Gbps with Tata Communications, formerly Teleglobe
- 4 Gbps with Cogent Communications (Unmetered Network)
- 1 Gbps with Peer1 Network
- 1 Gbps with Priority Colo (TorIX peering)
- 1 Gbps with Level 3 Communications (Coming at the end of August)
- 1 Gbps from 3 Men @ Work (Bell peering)
- 1 Gbps from T-Systems / Deutsche Telekom

iWeb’s first telecom link, back in 2000, was a 100 Mbps link, which had less than 1% of the capacity offered to iWeb customers currently. In the next few months, the company also expects to upgrade its main transit providers to 10Gbps.

Earlier this summer, the company attained ranking among Profit Magazine’s top 100 Canadian companies, based on revenue growth over the past 5 years. From 2002 to 2007, the company’s revenues have gone from 1.35 million to 9.82 million as of October 1st 2007, an increase of 627%; enough for iWeb to make its entry into the 100th position on the annual ranking.

The PROFIT 100 is the annual ranking which rates the top 100 Canadian companies based on the percentage of their revenue growth over a 5-year span. Produced by the business magazine PROFIT, 2008 marks the 20th edition of the ranking.

Founded in 1996, iWeb offers a full line of advanced IP hosting services either through shared hosting, dedicated servers or colocation in three data centers, featuring over 52,000 square feet of floor space and the latest technological equipment. iWeb provides services in English, French and Spanish to clients in more than 130 countries.
