Deepnines Technologies signs dynamic systems as a strategic reseller

DALLAS, TEXAS - DeepNines Technologies and Dynamic Systems today announced they have signed a strategic reseller agreement that enables Dynamic Systems to resell The Sleuth9T Security System to government and commercial organizations. Dynamic Systems will leverage its information technology infrastructure expertise and The Sleuth9 Security System to provide customers with the security solutions and services they need to protect networks.

Military installations, government agencies as well as commercial organizations must combat a myriad of blended cyber attacks. As a DeepNines' Reseller Partner, Dynamic Systems is certified to deploy Sleuth9, an integrated intrusion prevention and anti-virus solution that prevents Denial of Service (DOS), Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS), Port Scans, Trojan horses, propagating worms and viruses, and other cyber attacks from damaging networks.

"Since 1991, our data management, communications and security solutions have been in use at government agencies and commercial organizations of all sizes," said Mardi Norman, President at Dynamic Systems. "Now with Sleuth9, we are able to deploy a powerful and proven intrusion prevention system that sits in front of the router and stop intrusions before they reach the network."

Sleuth9 is unique in that it operates inline, in front of the router and in "stealth" mode. It is invisible to hackers, and carries no IP or MAC address. Only Sleuth9 uses multi-method protocol and traffic anomaly detection along with proprietary behavior monitoring to block malicious traffic and allow good traffic to pass. Sleuth9 evaluates all network traffic, both ingress and egress, at the packet level, to determine what is valid and what is malicious. As a result, Sleuth9 can detect and automatically prevent cyber attacks from entering or leaving a network, and forms a new perimeter of defense against DoS, DDoS, port scans, Trojan horses, self-propagating attacks, worms and viruses as well as other cyber attacks.

"Dynamic Systems recognizes that a secure network is required to keep a business up and running 24/7," said Dan Jackson, President and COO at DeepNines Technologies. "By partnering with DeepNines and deploying Sleuth9, Dynamic Systems is able to ensure its customers, partners and employees always have access to critical business information."
