Palm Harbor and Oldsmar, Florida -- August 5, 2004 -- CyberShield Networks, Inc.™ and Network Dynamics, Inc. (NDI), a leading managed services solutions provider, announced today they have signed a strategic partnership agreement enabling NDI to resell and enhance its managed services through the deployment of CyberShield’s Intrusion Prevention and Deception Management (IPDM) security technology. NDI will combine its extensive experience providing technology solutions, with CyberShield’s IPDM™, offering customers a solution to protect their critical network infrastructures from constant security breaches and malicious code attacks.
Because vulnerabilities exist in today’s security infrastructure, and these attacks are becoming more complex, NDI is arming its customers with IPDM™. IPDM is an intrusion prevention and deception management solution that protects a network from both known and unknown attacks, eliminates false positives with 100% accuracy, provides a complete holistic view and protection of a network’s entire IP space, and provides the lowest overall TCO.
“We are extremely pleased to be selected as CyberShield’s strategic partner for their new IPDM technology product line,” said Jim Bradshaw, president and CEO of Network Dynamics, Inc. “This agreement is the beginning of an innovative business relationship that will certainly expand to our mutual benefit, and more importantly, allow Network Dynamics to offer even more feature-rich, proactive security management services to our customers.”
CyberShield IPDM 2.0 offers the industry’s only proactive security environment to isolate and redirect both known and unknown attacks, before they occur. This breakthrough technology delivers a unique paradigm, with features including real-time intrusion identification and impact assessment, intrusion direction and relevance, intrusion incident management and tracking of suspicious activities – all before an attack reaches the perimeter defenses or, more importantly, critical assets.
The IPDM 2.0 is designed specifically to help users overcome the difficulty of accurately identifying attacks and assessing their impact. The end result is that organizations can realize a substantial cost savings through reduced operating expenses and, more importantly, avoid costly network breaches by proactively blocking attacks.
“NDI has years of proven experience in providing customers with quality, consistent managed services and they recognize the need to securely manage data while maintaining openness, connectivity and integrity,” said Charles Strasburger, President and CEO of CyberShield Networks. "By partnering with CyberShield and deploying IPDM, NDI is able to ensure its customers have the security solutions they need to safeguard their critical infrastructure.”
