8 December - IntelliGuard launches world leading DPS12000 IntelliGuard today released its new DPS12000 10Gbps model which raises DDoS Protection availability to the highest levels to meet the requirements of the largest Tier 1 and 2 service providers, data centers, hosting environments and major online enterprises. The new DPS 12000 comes housed in the world’s highest performance 2RU DDoS appliance platform incorporating up to ten 1GigE or eight 10 GigE interfaces for active-active and active-passive and redundant deployments, with up to 20 Gbps (bidirectional) throughput. Further near-future enhancements are planned to exceed even this throughput. Launching the new product today, IntelliGuard CEO, Ken Baker explained why this new high-throughput model is needed in today’s Internet environment. “New flooding attacks now commonly exceed the capacity of existing DDoS defences which thus become failure points themselves, and the risk and cost of deploying numerous DDoS appliances lower down the network is prohibitive. IntelliGuard’s new DDoS protection platform raises the bar well above existing competitor systems which struggle to handle even 1 Gbps of small packet traffic and cannot provide the multiple interfaces required for deployment in large networks with many incoming links. IntelliGuard’s new technology, based on its novel fast packet capture software and parallel architecture, is built from the ground up to keep ahead of this arms race. When deployed with its ability to provide individual protection to 64,000 unique domains and network entities, a single one of IntelliGuard’snew Multi-Gbps models can replace and outperform multiples of current ineffective systems. IntelliGuard’s new range of 10 Gb models also come with the release of a number of new enhanced features across the DPS range. These include automated and expedited system configuration for customers with additional features that immediately discover the IP addresses of all servers on a network and then automatically assigns suitable traffic limits to apply to each part of the network based on observed traffic loads. Recent new sophisticated open-connection attacks that existing systems have failed to prevent are also defeated by IntelliGuard’s new features which operate immediately the DPS is employed in any network. About IntelliGuard IntelliGuard today announced that it has appointed Taiwan reseller Adnetwork to supply its DDoS-mitigation appliances throughout Taiwan. Following reseller appointments in China, Korea and Hong Kong, this appointment continues the expansion of IntelliGuard products across Asia Pacific. Adnetwork is a specialist network security and testing adviser and reseller to network service providers and enterprises in Taiwan. Vic Chen, CEO of Adnetwork, commenting on the situation in Taiwan, said “More and more hacking behavior and growth of botnets together with growth of high-speed Internet access and wireless internet access is increasing the number Distributed Denial of Service attacks against online services. How to protect their own networks to ensure reliable and constant service for customers is a key problem for Internet Service Providers and Content Providers in Taiwan. We are very glad to recommend the IntelliGuard DPS to this market, with its superior world leading DDoS defence technology that can help our customers build up a secure Internet service. According to IntelliGuard Marketing Director, John Nakulski, "Establishing a specialist reseller in Taiwan is an important further step in IntelliGuard's continuing expansion throughout the Asia Pacific market. Adnetwork has been selected for its proven experience in distributing network equipment for other global organizations such as Agilent for which is the major distributor in Taiwan. Our strategy is to work with specialist reseller partners that have built their reputation in the same market segments of service providers and enterprises that require IntelliGuard’s new DDoS solutions. About Adnetwork About IntelliGuard IntelliGuard announced that Quadsoft Inc., a leading online gaming company in Korea, has deployed an IntelliGuard DPS 2000 to protect its gaming servers. Quadsoft Inc was established in late 2007 and quickly established a reputation for providing well-designed and interesting games. Their network of redundant arrays of web servers, download servers and game servers today typically serves over 1000 users at a time. Faced last week with sustained attacks on its gaming servers that its firewall, IPS and anti-DDoS appliance were unable to block, Quadsoft discarded its anti-DDoS appliance and called upon IntelliGuard for a solution. As explained by Mr JT Lee, who provides security services to Quadsoft, "Running an online business with a number of popular sites, we expected to see attacks and had invested in equipment to block them. So when the gaming servers came under attack last week it was disheartening to see the DDoS equipment fail and the attack take down our servers. When it was clear that the anti-DDoS device we were using could not protect the servers, we contacted IntelliGuard, who installed a DPS 2000 for us. We experimented with using both anti-DDoS devices at once, but found the original device was hampering efforts to defeat the attack and so we had to remove it. After this the DPS 2000 was able to immediately block the flooding attack, though didn't seem to deter the attackers, who changed tactics to try to overwhelm the servers with TCP connections. The DPS 2000 blocked this phase of the attack as well and the attackers eventually gave up." IntelliGuard’s Korean Director of sales Stephen Kim adds, "It's fortunate that Quadsoft approached us, as no other DDoS protection system could have defeated the attacks they were hit with. Having said that, being called on to provide protection mid-attack isn't ideal, because the best advantage you can have over attackers is knowing more about the network and its clients than the attacker does, which is why IntelliGuard’s DPS is best deployed in the network for a learning period during which profiles and rankings are established. In Quadsoft's case it was largely the DPS 2000's secondary protection features that defeated the attacks by restricting each server's bandwidth, connection rate, and number of simultaneous connections; authenticating TCP connections, and forming a semi-automatic blacklist. Now that the attacks have subsided and Quadsoft's DPS 2000 is in learning mode, every passing day it gathers more information and can provide stronger and stronger protection." About Quadsoft Inc. About IntelliGuard IntelliGuard announced that it has appointed US-based Creative Business Concepts (CBC) as a reseller of its DPS line of DDoS-mitigation appliances. This is the first North American reseller appointment, continuing the expansion of IntelliGuard products across the globe. CBC is a California based IT and Security Solutions Provider focused on design, implementation and management of secure network infrastructures. "We look to develop close relationships with best-of-breed technology suppliers", explains CBC Managing Director, Gregg Stempson, "By working closely with these we can meet our client's IT security needs for highly reliable and maintainable IT infrastructures. After examining the merits of IntelliGuard's technology and the anti-DDoS market for many months now, we're convinced of both, and pleased to be able to offer our client's the protection it offers. IntelliGuard DDoS Protection Systems are without a doubt the best first line of defense in a layered security model." According to IntelliGuard CEO, Ken Baker, "This is an important appointment marking IntelliGuard's expansion into the North American market. Our strategy has always been to first firmly establish ourselves in Asia before branching out, and we feel we're now in that position. In CBC we couldn't have found a more qualified partner. Their experienced team of former IT managers, architects and engineers has been servicing large enterprises' security needs for over 20 years, and so they thoroughly understand complex technology and infrastructures. With their expertise, and the respect in which they're held, CBC is well-positioned to take advantage of opportunities to introduce IntelliGuard products into the North American region." About Creative Business Concepts IntelliGuard today announced the release of two new market leading 10Gbps product models in its DDoS Protection System (DPS) line. IntelliGuard’s Korean Director of Sales, Stephen Kim, made the announcement while delivering a lecture at the 2008 Anti-DDoS conference in Seoul, Korea. IntelliGuard’s new DPS 3000 comes as a redesigned 1RU hardware platform with up to four 1GigE or 10 GigE interfaces for active-active and active-passive deployments. The DPS 4000 comes in a 2RU form factor and can be supplied with up to eight 1GigE interfaces or four 10GigE interfaces for redundant deployments and even higher throughput (up to 20Gbps) The main difference customers will see in these new models is higher throughput and redundant deployment options, more interfaces, the ability to protect 10Gbps networks, and multiple links with a single DPS unit”, explained Mr. Kim. “These new world-leading products are great news in particular for customers interested in large-scale clean-pipe applications. Their enhanced capabilities combined with IntelliGuard’s unique ability to simultaneously protect 64,000 assignable protection entities create the most advanced, effective and economical solution for such applications. The launch of the two new product models coincided with the release of a number of new enhanced features across the DPS range. According to IntelliGuard CTO Dr David Powell, “All IntelliGuard’s DPS now provide the best protection during spoofed SYN floods, as well as applying dynamic attack signatures which provide additional immediate protection to protected network’s clients and traffic profiles. IntelliGuard’s CTO, Dr David Powell, explained additional features of the new models. “We’ve also automated and expedited system configuration for customers with additional features that immediately discover the IP addresses of all servers on a network and then automatically assigns suitable traffic limits to apply to each part of the network based on observed traffic loads. We decided to incorporate these special features after encountering customers with networks where it was difficult for them to immediately pinpoint which servers were under attack and what load these could handle.
IntelliGuard announced that a newly established online Gambling service company in Asia has deployed an IntelliGuard DPS 2000 to ensure uptime of its web and gambling servers. The company, which wishes to remain anonymous, offers a variety of Internet-based interactive gambling games to its global customers. Its network comprises a firewall, switch, web firewall, regular firewall, web servers, and game servers. IntelliGuard’s DPS is installed at the front of the network to protect all of these. "For us, every minute offline is lost revenue, and protracted outages risk serious reputation damage", explained a spokesperson for the company. "Our customers come to us for a reliable service. If we can't provide it exactly when they want it, they take their business elsewhere. But the goal of 24x7 availability is impossible to realize when you're being hit with attacks that often appear for all purposes like a large number of regular customers. After the second or third time that we found ourselves powerless to keep our severs up, we started looking for solutions. In doing so we found IntelliGuard's DPS had just the granular protection and intelligent traffic management capabilities that we needed." None of this surprised Mr. Stephen Kim, IntelliGuard Director of Sales in Korea, "Online gambling and gaming businesses are about the most vulnerable of all organizations to DDoS attacks. It's unfortunate that dependence on online availability seems to invite extortion attempts by attackers, and we're pleased to able to provide relief. With new sophisticated attack tools now readily available, targeted DDoS attacks are so easy to launch, yet so difficult to defend. This often only dawns on victims after their second or third day of trying to manually mitigate a sustained attack. Now that attackers use sophisticated attack tools, it's only fair that their intended victims be armed have with best-of-breed technology to thwart them, because the old signature and anomaly based systems are no longer effective." IntelliGuard today announced that it has obtained an export development grant of AUD$133,559 from the Australian Government via Austrade. The Export Market Development Grant will assist IntelliGuard with the global marketing of its successful DDoS defense products. Austrade, through its overseas networks and expert personnel in Melbourne and overseas, is also providing IntelliGuard with valuable assistance and expert advice for marketing its products around the world. Mr Quentin Bai, Austrade’s ICT Industry Adviser said, “Australian ICT exports to Asian markets have increased over the last three years and Australian companies are recognized in Asia for their innovation, specialization in niche technologies and quality of service. ICT spending in the Asia-Pacific region is expected to grow annually by over 10 per cent per annum over the coming years, and Australian firms like IntelliGuard are well placed to secure a long-term future in the region. Commenting on IntelliGuard’s recent export sale to protect the Internet services of Shanda Networks, China’s premier on-line gaming company, Mr Bai, said “I am really pleased with the outcome. Shanda is a big one in China and I am sure this is just a beginning. We will continue working for you to achieve more outcomes, in China and other parts of the world. Taiwan and USA are potential quality markets for you. IntelliGuard is one of the few in the world to offer this type of innovative security application. Congratulations and well done! It is very encouraging to have a government that values the importance of developing innovative products for Australian exports, and understands and supports the needs of new companies in tackling global markets” commented IntelliGuard founder and CEO, Ken Baker. “Austrade supported IntelliGuard’s ambition of taking on the largest global Internet Security companies with an innovative leading technology developed solely in Australia. IntelliGuard has already achieved sales in China and Korea, and is now expanding its sales operations throughout Asia-Pacific and USA. About Austrade IntelliGuard today announced that Shanda Interactive Entertainment Limited (Nasdaq: SNDA), a leading interactive entertainment media company in China, has purchased and deployed IntelliGuard’s DDoS Protection System (DPS) to fend off attacks targeting its online gaming servers. IntelliGuard’s DDoS protection will secure Shanda’s $1 million daily revenue and assure its customer satisfaction with non-interrupted service. IntelliGuard’s DPS features a multi-level traffic management system that individually protects hundreds of servers in Shanda’s Shanghai data centre. Shanda selected IntelliGuard's anti-DDoS solution over traditional intrusion protection systems and all other DDoS system vendors, because IntelliGuard was the only system that could mitigate the sustained DDoS attacks that were targeting and disabling its login servers. Shanda offers a variety of Internet-based entertainment services including online multiplayer role-playing games. Shanda's network spans many different cities in China, and comprises tens of thousands of gaming servers that serve millions of users. "The latest attacks were targeting and overwhelming our login servers", explained Steven Ren from Shanda Networks. "We evaluated a range of products, and found that IntelliGuard’s DPS was the only one able to protect the individual servers. Immediately after deploying the IntelliGuard DPS, it automatically learned our network infrastructure and configured traffic limits for each server. The GUI allows us to monitor all our traffic in real time and the reporting system confirms that the DDoS attacks hurting our business are now being blocked". "We developed our DPS technology particularly for companies like Shanda, who manage massive server farms within large complex networks", noted Andy Deng, IntelliGuard's Director of Sales in China. "Each part of Shanda’s network is vulnerable and, as they unfortunately discovered, attackers need not seek to overwhelm large Internet connections with bandwidth floods, but can instead inflict the desired damage via targeted attacks. IntelliGuard DPS proved the only effective solution against such attacks." About Shanda Interactive Entertainment Limited IntelliGuard today announced that it has appointed Hong Kong-headquartered IT risk management and security specialist third-i as a reseller for its family of DDoS-mitigation appliances. According to IntelliGuard CEO, Ken Baker, "third-i is a perfect partner for IntelliGuard. Their domain expertise means they can fully support IntelliGuard’s DPS appliances and manage them on clients' behalf, and they have great reach across major business centers in the Asia Pacific via their partnerships with Datacraft and Verizon Business". third-i Managing Director, Peter Heavyside said, “third-i specializes in adopting innovative technologies that break the historic security mould of signatures and rules based protection; we only adopt technologies after careful assessment and our due diligence on this typically takes about 6 months. IntelliGuard’s DPS is the only system we've seen with the techniques and multi-gigabit performance to protect service provider and large enterprise networks against hour-zero attacks of all types and sizes. We’re delighted to partner with IntelliGuard". About third-i (www.thirdi.net) IntelliGuard today announced that Chungnam National University (CNU), one of the most prestigious centers of higher education in Korea, has purchased and deployed IntelliGuard’s DDoS Protection System to protect its campus network. CNU chose IntelliGuard’s solution to protect against DDoS attacks as well as detect Zombie PCs on the campus network. The IntelliGuard DPS will greatly reduce the burden of managing their strict ACL policies, while the DPS reporting system provides vital information to manage the campus network. Immediately upon installation, by its ability to automatically detect and protect all IP addresses within the University, IntelliGuard’s DPS identified and established controls for traffic from bot infected computers within the University which it was not aware of. The purchase decision was made by CNU’s Internet Intrusion Response Technology Research Center (IIRTRC). Professor of Computer Engineering Mr. Taeck-Geun Kwon who explained: “We chose the IntelliGuard DDoS Protection System for a number of reasons in addition to its DDoS protection capabilities. Our very strict ACL policies have become harder and harder to manage due to the number of exception rules. With the IntelliGuard DPS’ intelligent traffic pattern training features, we can reduce this management effort. Another vital factor was performance. In the past we have suffered performance degradation from security equipment including firewalls and IPS. The most important thing for us was a system that would not degrade packet forwarding performance. In addition to automatic DDoS attack protection, CNU wanted to monitor individual traffic to each of their servers and identify precisely which are being attacked at any time. Only IntelliGuard’s Multi-Level Traffic Management system could do this for them,” noted Mr Stephen Kim, IntelliGuard Director of Sales, Korea. “They were impressed by the reporting features, and will use the information to reduce security management overhead. Universities such as CNU of Korea face unique and complex security challenges, often with large dispersed networks with tens of thousands of PCs that are frequently compromised by hackers. IntelliGuard has a powerful solution for protecting and managing traffic in and out of such complex networks, and I think many of these universities would be surprised to learn how much it could help them. About CNU IntelliGuard today announced the Australian release of its DPS security appliances that defend against the largest and most sophisticated Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks. The Australian launch comes on the back of the appointment of Asian resellers, and deployments with a number of the largest Chinese and Korean IDCs, Internet gaming companies, and video sharing websites. To enable Service Providers to protect their own networks and those of their customers, IntelliGuard’s DPS employs a unique “Learn-Rank-Protect” strategy that profiles and ranks by legitimacy every client that interacts with a protected network, and only discards the least legitimate traffic during DDoS attacks or flash crowds when traffic rates need to be reduced. As IntelliGuard Chief Scientist, Dr Tao Peng explains, Attackers can circumvent traditional anomaly detection and signature-based devices by sending traffic that is outwardly indistinguishable from legitimate traffic, and adjusting their attacks to get around filtering rules. Effective decisions about which traffic to pass need to be based on information that attackers don’t have and cannot easily guess. The only data that fits this description is detailed historical knowledge of a particular network’s regular clients. We have developed a way to learn enough about a network’s legitimate users to be able to identify and prioritize their traffic in the midst of all types of traffic floods whether from attackers or non-malign causes. To protect each part of a network, IntelliGuard’s DPS incorporates a novel Hierarchical Multi-Level Traffic Management system that configures traffic limits and guarantees to manage traffic rates for each part of a network. This enables an IntelliGuard DPS deployed at the network edge to independently protect every component of a complex network, from large links all the way down to individual services running on a single machine. According to IntelliGuard Chief Technical Officer Dr David Powell, Hierarchical Multi-level traffic management is the only sure way to protect vulnerable low bandwidth services. Attackers can target anything from upstream routers, a business’ downlink, firewall, IPS, web server process, network card, operating system and TCP/IP stack. Each component is vulnerable and handles different traffic rates, so each therefore needs to be independently protected. Only IntelliGuard can do this, making our product unique in the world. IntelliGuard announces that it will participate at the 9th Info-Security Conference 2008. The conference will take place in Hong Kong on 21 May 2008 in Room 201, New Wing, Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre. IntelliGuard’s Business Development Manager, Albert Yuen, and Chief Scientist, Dr Tao Peng, will be on hand to discuss security challenges with industry professionals and explain IntelliGuard’s innovative approach to tackling DDoS attacks. About 9th Info-Security Conference 2008 IntelliGuard has announced that it will participate at CeBIT, Australasia’s leading Business to Business ICT exhibition, scheduled from May 20-22 2008 at the Sydney Convention & Exhibition Centre, Australia. IntelliGuard will be exhibiting at Stand Q80 in Hall 4. Visitors to the IntelliGuard stand will be able to learn about IntelliGuard’s DDoS and traffic management solutions, with senior IntelliGuard engineers on hand to demonstrate the newly unveiled DDoS Protection System. "CeBIT is a major exhibition and an ideal platform for the Australian release of IntelliGuard’s first product," said Ken Baker, IntelliGuard CEO. “We look forward to explaining to delegates how our DPS range of appliances can protect internet infrastructure and manage bandwidth floods.

1 October 2007 - IntelliGuard Chief Scientist to Present at IEEE Globecom IntelliGuard today announced that its Chief Scientist, Dr Tao Peng, will be delivering presentations at two major International Telecommunications conferences in November and December. Dr Peng will draw on his successful experience with IntelliGuard in delivering a talk entitled “How to cross the Chasm between Research and Product” and acting as panelist at the GOLD session of The IEEE Communications Society Global Telecommunications Conference (IEEE GLOBECOM 2007), to be held in Washington D.C. from 26-30 November 2007. Then on 2-5 December he will deliver a presentation entitled “An Attack-Resistant Hashing Scheme” at the upcoming Australasian Telecommunication Networks and Applications Conference (ATNAC 2007), in Christchurch, New Zealand. About IEEE Globecom 2007 About ATNAC 2007 IntelliGuard today announced that its’ 100% owned subsidiary, PowerGuard, has signed an agreement with the University of Melbourne Department of Computer Science and Software Engineering for a further three year research and development project funded under an Australian Government ARC Linkage Agreement. PowerGuard expects to develop further world leading technology as a result of the security-focused collaborative research. According to Ken Baker, IntelliGuard CEO and founder, “The University of Melbourne has intellectual property and skills in a range of areas compatible with IntelliGuard’s traffic management systems architecture and its software development skills. We’ve already been working together for a while, so it made sense to continue the partnership by way of the new Linkage Agreement. Solutions to complex security problems involve a rare combination of sophisticated programming, data-mining and mathematical skills not readily available to software development firms, so access to professional researchers and University background intellectual property that addresses these security problems is a great asset. During the first stage we will concentrate on identifying pressing problems that need to be solved”, adds Dr Chris Leckie, Associate Professor of Computer Science, University of Melbourne. “This will be done by surveying Internet attacks and setting up a test-bed to simulate them, then investigating the practicality of each scenario given current deployments, and assessing the damage each attack could do. A University research fellow will work with IntelliGuard on the project, with researchers and developers meeting fortnightly to discuss direction and progress. About the University of Melbourne Department of Computer Science and Software Engineering About ARC IntelliGuard today announced that it has been awarded an AUD$942,000 grant from the Australian Commonwealth Government Department of Innovation, Science and Research program administered by AusIndustry. The “Commercial Ready” grant will be used over the next 18 months to complete IntelliGuard’s initial R&D program and commercialize its network security technology developed over the past two years in conjunction with the University of Melbourne. We are pleased to have a government that values the importance of innovation, and supports it through schemes such as “Commercial Ready,” commented IntelliGuard founder and CEO, Ken Baker. “AusIndustry was impressed by IntelliGuard’s ambition of tackling the most intractable internet security problems, and the innovative approaches it has devised for doing so. These funds will enable us to achieve our goal of launching the first in a range of planned network security appliances within 24 months as planned. About AusIndustry IntelliGuard today announced that it has secured AUD$1.5 million funding from two Australian venture capital firms, Uniseed and Starfish Ventures.
