Sanctum on the Front Lines Against Cyber Terror
 
Sanctum's AppShield Defends Israeli Government Web Sites Against Hacker Assault

Santa Clara, Calif. - November 6, 2000 - Sanctum, Inc., the established leader in automated Web application control and security software, today announced that its pioneering AppShield™ eBusiness security solution is protecting Israeli government Web sites from cyber-terrorists.

Since the recent outbreak of violence between the Israeli government and Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza, the battlefield has shifted from the real world to the cyber world. Last week, media sources reported that several Israeli government Web sites, including those for the Ministry of Foreign Affaires, the Israeli parliament (Knessett) and the Army were attacked by an organized effort of Palestinian sympathizers.

In collaboration with NetVision, Israel's largest Internet service provider (ISP) and host to several government Web sites, Sanctum installed AppShield, its market-leading eBusiness application security solution. In just 48 hours, AppShield provided the defense that NetVision required to secure their customers. Since then, AppShield has successfully prevented hackers from shutting down, breaking into or defacing the Israeli government's Web presence, while the on-going attacks are continuing.

"Sanctum and AppShield have been invaluable in our efforts to provide our customers the best security measures," said Gilad Rabinowitz, NetVision's president and CEO. "As hackers moved from relatively unsophisticated 'denial of service' attacks to more complex, application-focused efforts to try to penetrate and deface the sites, we realized that we needed a much more robust, autonomous security solution that went beyond a firewall. That's when we called on Sanctum. AppShield has really been amazing, providing us with a level of security that we simply could not have achieved by other means, certainly not in the timeframe we had."

"This is quite possibly the most visible, most demanding, real world test any Web security solution has ever endured," noted Peggy Weigle, Sanctum's president and CEO. "So far, AppShield has passed with flying colors. While the motivations of the hackers in this conflict are political, the techniques and methods they employ are identical to those that hackers use on a daily basis to compromise eBusinesses. We often say that eBusiness security is the equivalent of national security, here is a case where they are, in fact, one in the same."

About AppShield
AppShield is the first solution to provide complete application-level security for eBusinesses. Developed to meet the time-to-market demands of the online environment, AppShield secures Web sites by blocking any type of application manipulation through the browser. It blocks hacks, logs them and sends a warning to the perpetrator, while alerting the eBusiness to the hacker's identity and to the time and location of the hack. AppShield ensures an enterprise's valuable digital content is secure so the company can focus developer resources on making money versus debugging and patching existing applications.
