NewswireToday - /newswire/ - McLean, VA, United States, 07/13/2006 - Endeavor Security will provide prevention signatures to Swedish UTM (Unified Threat Management) supplier Clavister AB under a multi-year deal. Automatically generated IPS signatures are fast and accurate.

The new xUTM – Extended Unified Threat Management, will expand on the current network gateway offerings from Clavister and include Intrusion Prevention based on Endeavor’s FirstLight component-based signatures.

“We are very pleased that our telecom and enterprise customers will be able to reap the benefits of the highly unique and advanced threat mitigation solutions which the Clavister and Endeavor Security teams have created. The automatically generated IPS signatures from Endeavor Security provide us with extremely rapid response time to emerging threats, best-in-breed prevention rates and also gives us the competitive edge we need to further strengthen our position as leading provider of advanced security solutions," said Peter Johansson, CEO and Vice President at Clavister AB.

“We are excited to partner with a proven technology leader such as Clavister, said Chris Jordan, CEO of Endeavor Security. The challenge of any UTM is to offer multi-function without degrading performance. The Clavister xUTM combines the best of the firewall gateway appliances with cutting edge attack technology. The xUTM will be running a highly optimized IPS signature set that will update daily to provide the latest coverage for new attacks.”

The FirstLight Signature Service is able to catch many attack variants including BOTS and other fast mutating threats to fill the gap in current attack coverage. The component-based signatures are able to stop multiple aspects of an attack, forcing the hacker to re-write the entire attack in order to successfully compromise a network. Most UTM’s have neglected the signature set and rely on open source or manual operations to update their database. Clavister’s decision to deploy the FirstLight signature set with their xUTM sets a new standard for multi-function appliances.
