Deepnines announces the Sleuth9 Security System for Sun Linux

DALLAS, TEXAS - DeepNines Technologies, a leading enterprise network security company, today announced the official release of The Sleuth9 Security System for Sun Linux. Sleuth9T is an integrated, intrusion prevention and anti-virus software solution specifically designed to stop complex, blended network attacks. Sleuth9 for Sun Linux sits in line, invisible, in front of the router and stops DoS, DDoS, port scans, Trojan horses, self-propagating attacks, worms and viruses from negatively impacting a network.

With Sleuth9 for Sun Linux, DeepNines delivers a powerful intrusion prevention solution that is ideal for small and medium size enterprise organizations. The Sleuth9 Security System for Solaris is also available and is designed to meet the needs of Global 2000 companies in the healthcare, financial services, government, education, technology, manufacturing, retail, and MSP markets.

"Support for Sun Linux means we can bring the rich, integrated security functionality found in Sleuth9 to an even greater number of companies that must combat sophisticated network attacks," says Dan Jackson, DeepNines' president and COO. "Sleuth9 for Sun Linux provides small and medium sized companies with unsurpassed perimeter protection at a fraction of the price."

While other network security solutions sit behind the router and are vulnerable to blended attacks, Sleuth9 is different in that it sits invisibly, stealth, in front of the router. Sleuth9 evaluates all network traffic at the packet level, both ingress and egress, to determine what is valid and what is malicious to prevent known and unknown attacks.
