eEye Digital Security Releases Free Intrusion Prevention Solution for Microsoft Web Servers – SecureIIS Personal Edition

Non-commercial version of SecureIIS provides comprehensive protection – preventing known and unknown attacks from penetrating Microsoft Windows® web servers.

(ALISO VIEJO, CA) July 9, 2003 — eEye Digital Security today announced the immediate availability of SecureIIS Web Server Protection – Personal Edition (www.eEye.com/SecureIIS). SecureIIS protects Windows 2003 server and Windows 2000 server editions. Available at no cost for personal, non-commercial usage, SecureIIS Personal Edition provides unmatched firewall, intrusion and application protection to guard Microsoft web servers against worms, buffer overflows, hybrid attacks and other types of known and unknown security threats. SecureIIS Personal Edition is available for direct download.

SecureIIS is designed to address the constant need for security patch deployment on Microsoft servers. More than 100 vulnerabilities have been discovered in Windows servers over the last four years. Worms such as CodeRed and Nimda exposed the lack of proactive patch deployment by Windows server users and resulted in significant damage. As an intrusion prevention application, SecureIIS protects even unpatched Microsoft web servers.

“SecureIIS provides web administrators with steadfast protection for the weakest link in the network security chain and the most commonly attacked access point – the web server. Now, personal users of Microsoft IIS can fortify their defenses and not have to constantly worry about being impacted by inherent web server operating system weaknesses,” said Firas Raouf, Chief Operating Officer of eEye Digital Security. “Yet another example of eEye’s commitment to the overall state of Network Security.”

SecureIIS works as an ISAPI filter within Microsoft IIS to block potentially damaging malicious activity and prevents even unpatched web servers from being compromised. SecureIIS is able to stop all types of attacks (e.g. buffer overflows, parser evasions, directory traversals, etc.) and prevent unauthorized access and/or damage to the web server.

A fully supported, scalable version of SecureIIS Web Server Protection is available from eEye and its authorized resellers worldwide. The commercial version of SecureIIS has advanced technology that enables complete enterprise web protection functionality, including: centralized management of security events, integration with 3rd party security event management systems, enterprise-level database integration, trend analysis, and customizable reporting.
