"By integrating The Sleuth9 Security System into our portfolio of services we can deliver superior security solutions to government agencies," said Gary Newgaard, president at Paragon Systems. "With terrorism and the war, it is more important than ever for government agencies to deploy new, intelligent security solutions that sit in front of the router and can prevent attacks from taking down critical networks."
The Sleuth9 Security System provides customers with a new front line of defense that prevents DoS, DDoS, Port Scans, Trojan horses, propagating worms and viruses, as well as other cyber attacks from negatively impacting a network. The solution is located in front of the router and evaluates all network traffic at the packet level, both ingress and egress, to determine what is valid and what is malicious. Sleuth9 combines signature, protocol, and traffic anomaly detection into an integrated solution and utilizes heuristics and proprietary behavior monitoring to block malicious traffic, while allowing good traffic to pass.
We are extremely pleased to announce that we have joined forces with Paragon Systems, as it has developed long-standing relationships within the government sector and is well known for delivering quality security solutions and services, said Dan Jackson, president and COO at DeepNines, Inc. Paragon Systems further solidifies our strategic initiative of providing government agencies with the critical network intrusion prevention solutions they need today and well into the future.
