Secure64 DNS Server Software Available

Secure64 Software has announced the general availability of Secure64 DNS – DNS server software with the only built-in denial-of-service protection to help ensure Internet-dependent businesses are always accessible. Secure64 DNS is completely immune to compromise from rootkits and malware, and provides the highest authoritative DNS performance in the world at over 100,000 queries per second.

For services providers, e-businesses and other companies whose viability depends on continuous operations and high availability, Secure64 DNS offers many unique and business-critical benefits, including:
- Improved Performance – Responds to more than 100,000 queries per second, over 10 times the capacity of a typical BIND server running on an x86 platform;
- Increased Security – Cannot be compromised by rootkits or malware, which can carry out "pharming" attacks that compromise DNS zone data and result in identity theft and credit card fraud;
- Increased Availability and "Up Time" – Offers high-speed packet processing and the unique capability to protect and mitigate high volume denial-of-service attacks (including UDP reflected floods);
- Reduced Operating Expenses – Reduces power consumption, eliminates operating system hardening and emergency vulnerability patching, and greatly simplifies configuration;
- Reduced Capital Expenditures – Delivers higher capacity and the ability to block denial-of-service attacks resulting in fewer servers and a reduced need to over-provision;
- Compatibility – Interoperates with existing DNS infrastructures, leveraging existing investments.

Secure64 DNS is the first software application released by Secure64 based on SourceT, a micro OS designed from the ground up with a secure architecture to make any application running on top of it immune to compromise from rootkits and malware and resistant to network attacks. Unlike other companies that secure products by hardening the underlying OS, Secure64's Genuinely Secure approach locks down application code and data in hardware-protected memory that malicious code cannot penetrate.
