Provides
Complete Network Security To Financial Institutions & Other Firms
With High Data Security & Regulatory Requirements - No Assembly
Required Milford, CT, May 24, 2005 – Perimeter
Internetworking, Inc., the leading provider of multi-threat
Security-in-the-Cloud services, announced today version 4.0 of it's
flagship service Gateway. Gateway 4.0 is the fourth generation of the
market's leading “Security-in-the-Cloud�? solution. Gateway 4.0
combines dozens of technologies from best-of-breed vendors to create
the industry's first “business aware�? perimeter security service. The
Gateway security service replaces traditional firewall and IDS
monitoring services with a network-based service that eliminates the
need for all future capital expenditures and integration costs. “Gateway
4.0 introduces Perimeter's proprietary Business Aware Architecture
(BA²),�? said Andrew Greenawalt, Founder and CTO, Perimeter
Internetworking. “While the market for security technologies has
exploded, virtually nothing had been done to orient these technologies
around that which they were tasked with defending. It's not technology
that's at risk, but business. Perimeter's BA² starts with a model of
our clients business processes, their value and the potential impacts
of breach or failure. With this knowledge, Gateway 4.0 can distinguish
the events that will be business impacting from the ever present noise
of security technology.�? “Gateway 4.0 is built on the
security-in-the-cloud platform that Perimeter pioneered over 6 years
ago,�? said Brad Miller, CEO of Perimeter Internetworking. “Unlike
other MSSPs, Perimeter endeavored to create the most comprehensive
security infrastructure ever built. In addition to Perimeter's flagship
Gateway 4.0 offering, we have pre-integrated over 50 security services
to address every potential threat to our clients businesses including
Intrusion Defense, Malicious Code Defense, Secure Email Services,
Secure Access, Automated Compliance, and Network Services. Over 1300
financial institutions, ISPs and other firms with high data security
and regulatory requirements have come to rely on Perimeter's Fortune
500 class platform and its turnkey managed services.�? Many
companies are realizing that full protection from the escalating rate
of viruses, malware, and hacker attacks, as well as regulatory
compliance given the growing list of requirements has become
unattainable, and they are increasingly turning to the superior
“in-the-cloud�? approach. “Gateway's advantage grows over time,�?
adds Greenawalt. “Unlike any other solution available, Gateway is truly
a security organism. By providing the service in-the-cloud, we leverage
significant economic advantages to funnel back into the evolution of
the platform. As new threats emerge, Gateway incorporates new
technologies. Clients subscribing to the Gateway service in 2005 will
have a completely updated solution in 2008. Gateway is the industry's
only adaptive security solution.�? Traditional security
technologies use negative testing to rule traffic out on the violation
of policy. With Gateway 4.0, Perimeter extends its advantage by adding
a broad suite of positive traffic tests, in addition to a host of
extensions to its leading negative and anomalous suite of tests. All of
these advanced technologies then leverage the Business Aware
Architecture to provide valuable decision enabling context to every
event. “Perimeter's unique centralized security utility allows
our channel partners (including SPs, VARs, and consultants) to offer a
full suite of security services, while requiring very little effort on
the part of their sales and operations departments or of their
customers,�? adds Miller. “We have helped our partners successfully
resell high-margin security services, which has allowed them to
increase customer retention.�? About Perimeter Internetworking™
