Third Brigade's Intrusion Prevention System Protects Unpatched Internet Explorer Vulnerabilities
27 March 2006 Ottawa, ON and Reston, VA - March 26, 2006 -- Third Brigade, Inc. (www.thirdbrigade.com) today announced that customers that have deployed Third Brigade Deep Security, its advanced Intrusion Prevention System (IPS), are proactively protected from attacks that could exploit vulnerabilities recently disclosed in Microsoft Internet Explorer. CNET and eWeek have reported that attackers are using hijacked Web servers and compromised sites to launch zero-day attacks that exploit one of these vulnerabilities, the Microsoft Internet Explorer CreateTextRange Remote Code Execution Vulnerability, CVE-2006-1359.
Third Brigade Deep Security protects hosts that use Internet Explorer to access malicious or compromised web sites. In addition, Third Brigade Deep Security can be used on web servers to prevent them from sending malicious content, which could affect users that access their site using Internet Explorer.
«A computer used to access a malicious or compromised site could then compromise sensitive hosts within the organization,» said Brian O'Higgins, CTO of Third Brigade, Inc. «Host-based intrusion prevention is the only way organizations can thoroughly protect themselves from this type of vulnerability.»
Third Brigade's advanced, host-based intrusion prevention system provides effective, proactive protection for a wide range of vulnerabilities that exist in commercial and custom software applications. Third Brigade customers automatically receive vulnerability shield updates with the latest filters that protect recently disclosed vulnerabilities, including these Internet Explorer vulnerabilities.
Third Brigade Deep Security proactively stops attacks before they impact hosts, helps ensure compliance with industry regulations such as PCI (including Visa CISP, Mastercard SDP), Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPAA, GLBA, FISMA and corporate policies, reduces operating costs, and prevents service disruptions caused by attacks.
