Secure64 family of DNS products not vulnerable to Spectre and Meltdown threats

Greenwood Village, CO January 8, 2018 – Secure64, the leading provider of Genuinely Secure DNS servers, today announced that its Intel Itanium/SourceT family of products are not vulnerable to either the Spectre or the Meltdown vulnerabilities. Secure64 is the sole DNS provider whose products run on both x86 and Itanium processors. Importantly, the Itanium processors, running the Secure64 proprietary SourceT operating system, are exempt from these recent vulnerabilities.

“The CPU hardware functions that underlie both the Spectre and Meltdown problems are rooted in techniques originally intended to improve CPU performance for legacy architectures: primarily Intel, but also ARM, AMD, and MIPS,” said Thad Dupper, CEO of Secure64. “The Itanium architecture, by contrast, adopted a different performance paradigm and does not use either speculative or out-of-order execution. Moreover, the Itanium cache and memory architectures were designed with security as a fundamental principle, not as an afterthought or an add-on to patch vulnerabilities.”

Beginning in 2004, Secure64 pioneered the development of a proprietary operating system (SourceT) for the HP Itanium platform. SourceT, which fully utilizes Itanium’s capabilities, provides an ultra-secure environment with an extra layer of immunity, not only to Spectre and Meltdown today, but to all forms of malware.

The recent Spectre and Meltdown threats are just the latest in an ongoing and escalating series of security issues. Although Intel and other chip providers have committed to addressing this by having patches available for the chips they released in the last five years, this hardware vulnerability has opened a new and disturbing potential threat vector.

“Although organizations the world over are scrambling to mitigate this vulnerability, Tier-1 carriers, government agencies and business enterprises who have selected the Secure64 SourceT DNS solution should know that their systems are immune to this most recent threat, and their Itanium-based solution will continue to run in production without the need for patching,” said Dupper. “We uniquely offer our customers a choice between an x86-based or Itanium-based solution. As such, we are the only major DNS vendor to offer such a choice. In this day and age, where threats materialize at an exhausting pace, Secure64 offers an imminently secure option – our proprietary SourceT Itanium-based carrier-grade DNS solution.”

Long-time customer delivers reliable DNS to rapidly growing subscriber base

  
Greenwood Village, CO – March 8, 2017 – Secure64, the leading provider of Genuinely Secure DNS servers, today announced that a Tier 1 North American mobile provider has added additional Secure64 DNS servers to their network to keep pace with their strong growth.

“This major carrier, which we originally added when their BIND-based DNS failed during one of the busiest shopping days, recently expanded their footprint with Secure64,” said Mark Beckett, VP of Products & Marketing, Secure64. “We are very pleased to continue to provide this customer a secure, stable and scalable DNS network which has allowed them to deliver a high level of quality of service while supporting their growing subscriber base.”

“Secure64 has delivered on their promise of reliable DNS,” said a Senior DNS Engineer at the Mobile Operator. “In our network, it is not uncommon for our Secure64 DNS servers to run continuously for over a year without any downtime. In fact, we felt obliged to reboot one Secure64 DNS server once we realized that it had been running non-stop for over 700 days, not because there was any problem, but just out of an abundance of caution. The performance we have received from Secure64’s DNS technology and their responsiveness to our needs has created a strong partnership between us.”

The mobile provider uses Secure64 DNS Authority and Secure64 DNS Cache. Both servers leverage the Secure64 SourceT proprietary operating system, which has features that eliminate paths for malware injection and execution and which also incorporates protections against high volume denial of service attacks.

Secure64 Wins Contract to Provide  Subscription Security Services to US Government Agency

DNS Guard to protect network against malware, bots and phishing attacks  

Greenwood Village, CO – November 7, 2017 – Secure64, the leading provider of Genuinely Secure DNS servers, today announced that a major US federal government agency has added Secure64® DNS Guard™ and Secure64® DNS Manager™ to their DNS infrastructure.

“The Agency added the advanced protection of our DNS Guard service to their network to enhance their ability to prevent attacks from malware and other network threats,” said Thad Dupper, CEO of Secure64. “Companies, carriers and government entities alike are having to deal with the ever-growing universe of devices – including IoT devices — that connect to their networks.  This expanding set of connections dramatically increases the risk of introducing infections into the network. Our DNS Guard provides network administrators with a real-time integrated solution to combat these threats, without ever needing to touch the individual devices.”

Secure64 DNS Guard detects network infections and neutralizes them before damage can be done to the network. It then identifies the infected devices so additional preventative measures can be taken. DNS Guard also protects all devices, including those users bring in, while they are in the network, blocking both malware and phishing attacks.
