ATLANTA -December 14, 2005 - Reflex Security, the pioneer in adaptive intrusion prevention solutions, today announced an expansion to its Reflex IPS network security appliance to include the detection and blocking of spyware and adware. The Reflex Security spyware module recognizes malicious programs such as adware, keyloggers, and dialers in the network and proactively blocks them before they can damage host computers. According to a recent report, spyware ranks at the top of problems faced by corporate IT managers, accounting for almost 67% of all malware threats in enterprise networks.
"Spyware and other unwanted programs have evolved beyond annoying to become a serious security threat. Not only can Reflex block them before they enter into the network, but because we inspect all network traffic, we can also prevent communication from spyware on preinfected mobile workstations when they return to the corporate network," said Hezi Moore, CTO of Reflex Security. "The Reflex Security SentriumTM technology and adaptable architecture makes it easy to enable different types of threat prevention on the fly. Businesses no longer will have to worry about installing additional client software or maintaining another gateway point solution."
The Reflex Security's IPS solution operates inline on the network and analyzes all traffic in real-time. By using multiple detection and prevention algorithms, the IPS appliance can determine malicious traffic or network payload and automatically mitigate the danger without impact or latency on network performance. Reflex Security was recently short listed as a SC magazine global award finalist for best intrusion prevention system and received Tolly Group certification with a 100% rating on its ability to identify and block attacks in recent independent tests.
