Mar. 4, 2008 03:30 PM
Blue Lane Technologies announced the availability of VMware
Infrastructure 3 hypervisor protection for its version 3.1 ServerShield appliances.
The addition of host coverage extends Blue
Lane’s leade in data center vulnerability
protection to also include hypervisor service console software vulnerabilities.
“Blue Lane
continues to deliver more server vulnerability protection than any network or
host intrusion prevention system vendor,” said Allwyn Sequeira, SVP product
operations at Blue Lane Technologies. “Blue Lane’s advanced protocol context
aware architecture, combined with comprehensive vulnerability protection across
all major data center operating systems and applications, has now been extended
to the VMware ESX host. The result is comprehensive and accurate
protection of physical and virtual environments with no signatures.”
Addressing the unique security challenges of the data
center, Blue Lane’s
ServerShield is the only solution that:
- Delivers unprecedented accuracy, visibility and availability
for servers and hypervisor hosts;
- Requires no signatures, tuning or code changes on the server
or hypervisor;
- Protects servers and hypervisors from leading evasive
attacks, including mutating bots, Layer 2 attacks and SQL injection;
- Delivers protection for virtual and physical infrastructures
without requiring hardware upgrades; and
- Delivers very high server and hypervisor availability with
very low latency.
“As organizations virtualize their physical data centers,
they need to design appropriate security into their plans,” commented Jeff
Palmer, president and CEO at Blue Lane Technologies. “
Blue Lane is the only vendor to offer
comprehensive and accurate protection that can scale to meet security
requirements as organizations virtualize their servers, based around our
ServerShield and VirtualShield products.”
