| Tarari Introduces New XML Security Silicon Tarari Inc. has announced its new Tarari XML Threat Manager (X) Content Processor silicon designed to allow original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to add powerful XML Threat Management into network security equipment such as firewalls, VPNs, IPS, UTMs, access control, application networking devices and application accelerators. Tarari's "Content Processor" products are ASICs, production boards and embedded software components that are designed to snap in to networking, appliance, blades and server systems. Tarari is demonstrating X on the Tarari booth #240 at the RSA Conference in San Jose, February 14-16. Tarari's XML Threat Manager Content Processor is unique in the industry because it provides a single piece of silicon that: -- Guarantees message security for top XML threats -- Snaps easily into network security equipment -- 100% built in hardware to guarantee against software failures XML-based Web Services, AJAX, Web 2.0 and other new XML standards are exposing mission critical applications to new security threats. The benefits of XML and Web Services are clear, and its use is now pervasive throughout the industry for applications in both the enterprise and telecommunications markets. The current danger is that security systems have simply not kept up with the new ways that attacks can now occur due to XML-based protocols and Service Oriented Architectures (SOA). Every XML message in a transactional environment is business-critical - its accuracy and safety must be assured. Tarari's X is a big step forward in achieving this. Tarari streaming-based X, scalable to 10 Gbps, is uniquely designed to work in packet-oriented network security devices and to provide the same active protection against attacks found in IPS and U devices. While XML firewalls provide some protection against XML threats, Tarari X continues where conventional defenses stop. Tarari's patent-pending XML anomaly detection "learns" to recognize threat-bearing messages that XML firewalls would let through. Tarari X recognizes dozens of well-known XML XDoS attacks like recursive payload, attribute explosion and dangling XML, but goes beyond anything on the market in being able to flag traffic that represents novel and previously unknown threats - often on the first packet. Providing speed, deep content inspection and an adaptive defense mechanism, Tarari X is an easy and cost-effective upgrade solution for major networking vendors. Layer 7 Technologies is an OEM that uses the new X technology. Layer 7 will be joining Tarari to demonstrate its new SecureSpan OX product, an OEM bundle incorporating software for configuration, setting traffic policies, monitoring and reporting built around Tarari X, at the RSA Conference in the Tarari booth #240. Tarari also provides its award-winning RAX technology to accelerate XML Schema Validation, Random Access XML parsing, XSLT and element-level XML Security in dedicated XML appliances. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Computing News :: home page |
