Secure64 Adds SIP Monitoring to Secure64® DNS Authority

/in /by

Add-on automatically routes VOIP calls away from unavailable servers

Greenwood Village, CO – June 30, 2016 – Secure64, provider of the world’s most secure DNS products, has released the Service Optimization Module for Secure64® DNS Authority™, which added the ability to monitor the availability of SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) servers in real time, and automatically route calls away from servers that are unavailable.

DNS, the domain name system, is a mission-critical component of IP-based communication networks. When a VOIP (Voice over IP) call is placed, it is routed to a SIP server by using DNS lookups. The call setup time (the time it takes to get a call ringing) depends on the speed of response from both the DNS and the SIP servers. If a SIP Server is down, the call can take a long time to complete – and call set up time is a critically important metric to ensure high customer satisfaction.

“This add-on to the DNS server is simpler and more cost-effective than deploying general purpose traffic management solutions.” said Mark Beckett, VP of Marketing and Product Management at Secure64. “No additional device is needed to either buy or manage, lowering total cost of ownership.”

The Service Optimization Module is available now. To learn more, visit www.secure64.com/service-optimization-module .

SECURE64 ANNOUNCES PLATFORM CONTROL SOFTWARE THAT IMPROVES SECURITY AND PERFORMANCE

/in /by

SourceT Platform Control Software Overcomes Current OS Security Limitations, Providing a Self-Protecting Design

GREENWOOD VILLAGE , CO – March 7, 2006: Secure64 Software Corporation, a software developer, today announced SourceT™ platform control software that establishes a secure foundation to significantly enhance the security, performance, and scalability of network and enterprise applications.  Designed from the ground up for security and performance, and providing a fully asynchronous network I/O stack and the ability to host guest operating systems and their applications, SourceT software offers a fundamentally efficient way of addressing IT costs and security concerns of the enterprise.

“Existing general-purpose operating systems continue to employ an extended two-level hierarchical hardware protection model introduced over 40 years ago,” stated Dr. Bill Worley, Chief Technology Officer, Secure64. “The complexities of these operating systems, the enormous amounts of code that must execute at the highest hardware privilege level, and the limitations of the old hardware protection model make it impossible to establish the security properties and high performance levels required by enterprise servers in today’s fully connected world. Our newly architected platform control software enables the development of inherently secure, self-protecting systems.”

SourceT platform control software leverages commercial, off-the-shelf hardware for:

Unparalleled Security – SourceT works in conjunction with Intel’s® Itanium® 2 microprocessor to establish a secure, compartmentalized memory environment. This provides protection for crypto keys, policy control data, and other types of information requiring high security.  The software architecture provides no paths for injecting root kits or other malicious code intended to execute at the highest hardware privilege level.

High-Speed Performance – Applications built on SourceT leverage the newly architected I/O stack with a fully asynchronous, scalable, and non-blocking protocol, to process network traffic at gigabit line speeds.

Parallel Performance – SourceT harnesses Itanium® 2’s parallel performance characteristics, greatly improving performance.

Capacity Advantage – The low overhead of SourceT leaves the majority of the processor cycles available for application computation.

Greater Scalability – SourceT can harness the power of multiple cores and still leave sufficient headroom in each processing core. Processing capacity can scale nearly linearly for system functions and applications.  Scalability can be even further enhanced through the use of blade hardware configurations.

“By leveraging heretofore underutilized security, performance and virtualization features built into Itanium® 2, we offer a route out of many of the vulnerability-exploit-patch cycles without replacing major operating systems and their applications,” stated Steve Goodbarn, CEO, Secure64.  “The added benefit of our platform is significantly higher performance. Our software can be deployed to enhance the security and performance of many network and enterprise applications with a demonstrable payback for the end customer.”

SourceT architecture has the following attributes:

  • Establishes root trust at boot time
  • Extends chains of trust throughout the platform control software and initialized guest operating system software
  • Utilizes memory compartmentalization and enforces minimum required privilege policies to strengthen security properties
  • Provides a self-protecting platform for network and enterprise applications
  • Increases application performance
  • Provides greater capacity for application processing
  • Provides low latency

Secure64 is a member of the Itanium Solutions Alliance and is engaged with several of its members. The company is seeking additional strategic partners interested in taking advantage of the features and benefits SourceT technology has to offer.

SECURE64 SHIPS THE FIRST AND ONLY DNS SERVER SOFTWARE IMMUNE TO MALWARE AND RESISTANT TO NETWORK ATTACKS

/in /by
Secure64 DNS™ is also the world’s fastest authoritative DNS, delivering over 100,000 queries per second

GREENWOOD VILLAGE, CO – March 19, 2007 – Secure64 Software Corporation, a software developer with the only Genuinely Secure™ software technology and server applications, today announced the general availability of Secure64 DNS™ – DNS server software with the only built-in denial-of-service protection to help ensure Internet-dependent businesses are always accessible. Secure64 DNS is completely immune to compromise from rootkits and malware, and provides the highest authoritative DNS performance in the world at over 100,000 queries per second.

“DNS is one of the weakest links in IT infrastructures,” stated Steve Goodbarn, President, CEO and Director, Secure64. “Denial-of-service attacks and remotely exploitable security vulnerabilities threaten both the availability and integrity of existing Domain Name Systems. If DNS servers go down, the Web goes down, email goes down and entire e-businesses go down. Customers get frustrated, companies lose revenue and their brands suffer. Secure64 DNS is the only DNS server software that can withstand denial-of-service attacks and still respond to legitimate queries, up to the saturation point of a Gigabit line.”

For services providers, e-businesses and other companies whose viability depends on continuous operations and high availability, Secure64 DNS offers many unique and business-critical benefits, including:

  • Improved Performance – Responds to more than 100,000 queries per second, over 10 times the capacity of a typical BIND server running on an x86 platform
  • Increased Security – Cannot be compromised by rootkits or malware, which can carry out “pharming” attacks that compromise DNS zone data and result in identity theft and credit card fraud
  • Increased Availability and “Up Time” – Offers high-speed packet processing and the unique capability to protect and mitigate high volume denial-of-service attacks (including UDP reflected floods)
  • Reduced Operating Expenses – Reduces power consumption, eliminates operating system hardening and emergency vulnerability patching, and greatly simplifies configuration
  • Reduced Capital Expenditures – Delivers higher capacity and the ability to block denial-of-service attacks resulting in fewer servers and a reduced need to over-provision
  • Compatibility – Interoperates with existing DNS infrastructures, leveraging existing investments

“Secure64 has optimized its solution for the HP Integrity rx2660 Server so that it can provide ISPs, managed service providers and e-businesses a complete DNS solution that delivers impressive levels of security, performance and reliability, ” said Michelle Weiss, Vice President of Marketing, Business Critical Systems, HP. “The rx2660 was designed to bring the power, reliability and availability of mission-critical computing to a broader range of enterprise customers and the Secure64 DNS server application advances these benefits.”

Secure64 DNS is the first software application released by Secure64 based on SourceT®, a micro OS designed from the ground up with a secure architecture to make any application running on top of it immune to compromise from rootkits and malware and resistant to network attacks. Unlike other companies that secure products by hardening the underlying OS, Secure64’s Genuinely Secure approach locks down application code and data in hardware-protected memory that malicious code cannot penetrate.

“Secure64’s innovative new product is one of the first in the market to take full advantage of Intel’s hardware architected security protections that are unique to the Itanium® 2 processor,” said Kirk Skaugen, Vice President, Digital Enterprise Group and General Manager, Server Platforms Group, Intel Corporation. “The integration of Itanium’s security capabilities through Secure64 DNS on HP Integrity® servers helps to simplify and secure data center technologies that are connected to the Internet. Intel looks forward to continued collaboration with Secure64 to enable genuinely secure computing.”

SECURE64 INTRODUCES “STOP LIVING IN DENIAL”CAMPAIGN AT ISPCON

/in /by
Trade Show Attendees Can Launch Denial of Service Attacks on New Secure64 DNS Application

GREENWOOD VILLAGE, CO – May 16, 2007 – Secure64 Software Corporation, a software developer with the only Genuinely Secure™ software technology and server applications, today announced it will conduct its first ever real-time, interactive demonstrations of its Secure64 DNS software application for the general public at ISPCON Spring 2007. Secure64’s “Stop Living in Denial” campaign kicks-off at ISPCON and allow anyone to launch a denial of service attack to try and bring down Secure64 DNS.

 Secure64 DNS is the only DNS server application on the market today that is completely immune to malware and resistant to network attacks, and provides the highest authoritative DNS performance in the world at over 100,000 queries per second.

 “Since the launch of Secure64 DNS in March, many IT professionals have challenged our product claims,” said Mark Beckett, Vice President of Marketing at Secure64. “Our intent at ISPCON is to definitively prove that, while one of today’s most commonly-used DNS server solutions effectively drops offline under malicious attacks, Secure64 DNS remains 100% responsive to legitimate Internet traffic under the same attack conditions.”

 The demonstration will pit the company’s own Secure64 DNS application running on a dual core Itanium HP Integrity server against a popular BIND/Linux DNS configuration running on a dual core Sun® Opteron™ server. Both servers will be loaded to maximum query capacity, then visitors will be invited to launch TCP SYN floods or UDP reflected floods at both servers simultaneously and observe how each server responds to the simulated attacks.

 The DNS, or Domain Name System, has become an increasingly popular target of malicious attacks, claiming high profile victims such as Network Solutions, MySQL, GoDaddy.com as well as the main root servers that make up the backbone of the DNS itself. Microsoft recently sent a panic through the industry when it announced a DNS vulnerability in its Windows server operating systems.

 

Secure64 DNS Benefits

For services providers, e-businesses and other companies whose viability depends on continuous operations and high availability, Secure64 DNS offers many unique and business-critical benefits, including:

  • Improved Performance – Responds to more than 100,000 queries per second, over 10 times the capacity of a typical BIND server running on an x86 platform
  • Increased Security – Cannot be compromised by rootkits or malware, which can carry out “pharming” attacks that compromise DNS zone data and result in identity theft and credit card fraud
  • Increased Availability and “Up Time” – Offers high-speed packet processing and the unique capability to protect and mitigate high volume denial-of-service attacks (including UDP reflected floods)
  • Reduced Operating Expenses – Reduces power consumption, eliminates operating system hardening and emergency vulnerability patching, and greatly simplifies configuration
  • Reduced Capital Expenditures – Delivers higher capacity and the ability to block denial-of-service attacks resulting in fewer servers and a reduced need to over-provision
  • Compatibility – Interoperates with existing DNS infrastructures, leveraging existing investments

The Secure64 DNS demonstration will be conducted within ISPCON booth #514. ISPCON, the leading event for wired and wireless ISPs, takes place May 23-25 in Orlando, Florida.
