"The threats posed by the modern computing environment cannot be addressed without secure operating systems. Any security effort which ignores this fact can only result in a 'fortress built upon sand'."

PitBull from Argus is an Intrusion Prevention System that stops hackers in their tracks. Unlike common perimeter-based security products such as firewalls and intrusion detection systems, PitBull delivers security where it is needed most - within the operating systems that control your most sensitive servers. Based upon proven trusted operating system technology, PitBull is the ideal software foundation for securing web servers, application servers, transaction servers, mail servers, database servers, and a variety of other e-business servers. Every day sophisticated hackers and malicious insiders break into mission-critical servers and wreak serious damage. When you absolutely cannot afford a security breach, there is only one place to turn - PitBull from Argus.

When your organization goes online, you're betting the business on the security and reliability of your e-business servers. A server outage now becomes a business outage. You're also opening a high-speed conduit from users - from the Internet or your intranet or extranet - directly to backend, mission-critical business applications and data. Your web servers, security servers and e-business application servers become the most vital systems in the entire enterprise. One successful attack on these servers can provide the attacker with an unobstructed path to alter or steal sensitive, confidential data. The result; your reputation could be destroyed and your business crippled.

Traditional security mechanisms such as firewalls, network encryption and intrusion detection fall short of securing today's online transaction and e-business environments. The reason? Traditional security measures may limit access to a system, but not actions on the system or by the system. This essential, foundation-level security can only be gained by securing the operating systems of your e-business servers.

Fact: If an attacker (external or internal) gains control of the operating system, all traditional security mechanisms are totally ineffective - your e-business is at the mercy of the attacker.

Innovative Security Systems's PitBull Foundation and PitBull Foundation Suite solutions deliver fundamental security that enable organizations to open their systems to the world yet perform core business transactions over the Internet safely and securely. Based on proven Trusted Operating System (TOS) technology, they deliver a totally new paradigm for online security - one that not only delivers the most robust security available, but improved scalability and simpler administration at dramatically reduced costs when compared to traditional security models.

Installing PitBull dramatically simplifies your security architecture, reduces costs and manpower requirements, improves scalability and delivers unprecedented levels of security. In many e-business environments, PitBull allows companies to forego the use of costly firewalls and intrusion detection systems in front of their web servers and transaction servers.
