InfoWorld - Determina stokes the memory firewall
Determina last week unveiled its Vulnerability Protection Suite (VPS), which combines the company’s Memory Firewall and a new product called LiveShield. The Memory Firewall, formerly known as SecureCore, is host-based intrusion-prevention software that protects Microsoft IIS, Exchange Server, SQL Server, and Windows services against buffer overflows and other memory attacks. LiveShield allows Memory Firewall to be updated with code -- produced by Determina in response to newly discovered vulnerabilities -- to thwart other kinds of threats, such as privilege escalation and denial-of-service attacks. The company says it has produced a couple dozen such updates, which will be incorporated into VPS when the product ships in mid-October. VPS costs $750 per server. Volume discounts are available.
