Netcetera Partners with Applicure to Provide Web Application Security Solution to Hosted Customers
Applicure’s dotDefender Web Application Firewall mitigates security risks and helps Netcetera customers achieve PCI compliance.
Isle of Man, THE BRITISH ISLES, 25 January 2010 - Netcetera (www.netcetera.co.uk), one of Europe’s leading
managed hosting and datacenter providers, has partnered with
Applicure Technologies (www.applicure.com) to offer
state-of-the-art website security to Netcetera customers.
Applicure’s dotDefender Web Application Firewall (WAF) is a
software solution that enables customers to quickly and
affordably augment their existing security measures and make
their web applications PCI compliant. dotDefender is available
immediately as an add-on solution to any hosting package offered
to Netcetera customers.
Tim Cass, Netcetera's CTO, comments: “dotDefender is a perfect fit
for Netcetera, offering a very high level of security against a range of
web-based attacks including SQL injection, cross site scripting (XSS)
and session hijacking, with an intelligent interface to centrally manage
settings across all our servers. When coupled with Netcetera's
reputation for great service and responsiveness, the choice to add a
layer of application security becomes an easy one for customers to
make.”
Les Stein, Applicure’s Director of Business Development, states: “We
are delighted to announce this partnership with Netcetera. Web
application security is essential for any business with an online
presence. This partnership gives Netcetera customers the ability to
protect their data and achieve PCI compliance with a market-leading
application layer firewall – it’s a win-win situation for Netcetera and
their customers’ security.”
As stated in the sans.org report The Top Cyber Security Risks,
“[M]ost web site owners fail to scan effectively for the common flaws
and become unwitting tools used by criminals to infect the visitors that
trusted those sites to provide a safe web experience.” “The dotDefender
Web Application Firewall saves everyone time and money by stopping
potential exploits at the gate – before they reach the web application,”
claims Stein.
dotDefender is available immediately on Netcetera’s Windows virtual private server hosting, Hyper-V VPS, and Windows dedicated server offerings. Interested customers can visit the following link for more information and to get protected today:
