ThreatSentrys core defense modules are augmented by an integrated driver-level firewall that delivers full port blocking of untrusted IP Address and a behavior-based Intrusion prevention component that profiles typical request activity and can detect unusual events and patterns indicative of zero-day and targeted attacks.

Converted ISAPI filter and extension based architecture to a native IIS7 module to reduce errors and streamline the deployment process for administrators.
Added support for multiple ThreatSentry installations on a single SQL instance to enhance solution deployment flexibility.
Added domain-specific URL Exclusion options to improve control over request filtering.
ThreatSentrys enhanced web server request filtering capabilities enable administrators to better target malicious traffic and reduce the risk of web server breach, said Privacyware CEO Greg Salvato. Beyond the improved web security benefit, this update also delivers significant efficiencies through new or expanded deployment and maintenance options. This software release exemplifies our ongoing commitment to delivering consistently improved Web Application Firewall technology to our compliance and system administrator clientele.
ThreatSentry delivers proactive, multi-layered defense for IIS and prevents attacks from exploiting web application vulnerabilities through a complementary set of integrated components.
State-of-the-art Web Application Firewall: Provides configurable rules-based control over HTTP/HTTPS request methods (OPTIONS, GET, POST, HEAD), URL Paths, URL Query String length, and HTTP Request Headers, rule-specific URL/s exclusion capabilities, URI Encoding support, Regular Expression support for parameter rules/filtering, etc.
Fully integrated Firewall: Proprietary NDIS driver delivers flexible network IP blocking (featuring white list, black list and duration control) at TCP/IP and UDP layers for all ports.
Behavior-based Intrusion Prevention: Adaptive, behavior-based engine (with sensitivity control) analyzes Web traffic patterns to detect new threats and behavioral anomalies and deviations.
Anti-DoS/DDoS: Configurable request frequency monitor blocks successive requests to individual or all site pages to reduce the risk of DoS and DDoS attacks.

WhosOn Live Chat Software Ranks High in Software Review Amongst Leading Brands
Orlando, FL (PRWEB) January 13, 2012
Parker Software, developers of WhosOn Live Chat software, which enables website owners to track website visitor activity in real time and engage with these visitors via live chat, to improve online customer service and sales, have been ranked 20 out of the top 50 Software Solutions to explore in 2012, by Website magazine. A number of leading software companies listed include the likes of Adobe, Salesforce.com, Hubspot, Rackspace, Netsuite, Webtrends and Coremetrics to name a few.
Today everyone is aware of the potential of the internet and the interaction capabilities people now have with it, non-more so than Stephen Parker, CEO of Parker Software who back in 2003 created WhosOn, his vision at the that time was to replicate an in-store, in-person experience on-line, by providing a software application that enabled a website owner to interact with its website visitors by chat, just as you would ask for assistance if you need help in-store to help improve customer service and online sales.
During the early stages of Parker Software’s company development, the USA was the first market to adopt WhosOn Live Chat software, with the UK lagging behind by two to three years in adoption rates. Even today some of the UK’s major retailers and recognized brands, who are seeing the high-street in rapid decline, are slow in adopting Live Chat as a communication channel, despite the recognized growth in the internet and its recognition as an online sales channel.
Since its inception, WhosOn has come a long way in its development the ability to chat is just one of its features a company with a website can take advantage of. Enhancements such as real-time analytics and reporting, live chat translation, ticketing, pro-active invites, CRM integration, Remote Control, and much more have put WhosOn at the forefront of Live Chat and help them to differentiate against their competitors.
Ian Rowley, Business Development Manager for Parker Software comments. “This recognition is a fantastic achievement for our company, to be compared so highly against some of the leading Software companies in the world. We continue to enjoy our significant growth and attracting more and more household names as customers that clearly recognize our advanced capabilities in comparison to our competitors. We are certainly turning heads and disrupting the Live Chat Software Space!”
“We see many challenges ahead for many of our current and future customers, the continued development of WhosOn is not only ensuring that we maintain our growth and recognition as a market leader in the Live Chat Software space, but also with our advanced and developing feature set is ensuring our customers maintain their competitive advantage also.”
“The article in which we appear has a strong summary which rings so true in our industry,” Software is everywhere, but remember this to benefit, you must explore its possibilities.
