PRESS RELEASE

Boston, Jan 2009: CounterSnipe Technologies, the leading player in developing snort based Threat Management Systems is pleased to announce the latest release of its world class Intrusion Prevention Software thus delivering much superior and faster IDS/IPS appliances.

CounterSnipe appliances are delivered with extensive set of built in network security applications ensuring that they Auto-Adapt to protect the network they are attached to. Unlike any other traditional IDS/IPS system, a CounterSnipe appliance detects and protects the assets attached on your specific network, thus eliminating 99% of the false alerts commonly associated with IDS/IPS systems.

CounterSnipe software offers complete protection from security threats with built in IDS/IPS, host identification, application and vulnerability discovery, correlation of attack to vulnerability data, and intelligent Alert Management. CounterSnipe systems are designed to detect and prevent against real and most relevant security violations. The sophisticated alert management module eliminates unnecessary alerts associated with typical IDS/IPS systems.

"We have spent an enormous amount of time and resource in perfecting this latest release. We have enhanced the alert handling and analysis process. The usage of the all new database handler improves the speed of events access by many times than before," says Khirod Patra, CS lead developer. "Our systems can now handle, search through and analyse many millions of events in seconds. This combined with our unique way of updating the event count, results in much faster report generation too," adds Khirod.
