PREVX is a specialist provider of intrusion prevention system (IPS) software. Unlike competing solutions, PREVX's
software is designed to prevent, rather than merely detect, intrusions and hacker attacks. Traditional security
software and approaches have mostly been based on crude forms of pattern matching - a system is given 'signatures'
and profiles of known worms, viruses and hacking techniques. These signatures look for well-known patterns of activity
that can indicate that a system has been compromised. The flaws of this approach are well-documented - countless false
alarms and an emphasis on the detection of known attacks after the fact, rather than comprehensive prevention. PREVX's new approach is set to offer the industry a better way.
Nick Ray, CEO, PREVX, said: "As Trustcorps, we developed some of the most innovative approaches to today's biggest IT security
problems - our technology already protects many enterprises across the UK. Once we finished our R&D; phase, we sought a new
brand to mark that change and take us forward. Our new brand shows the market that we are now ready to take world-class
intrusion prevention to even more markets than before. We are proud to have evolved into PREVX and face the future with confidence."
About PREVX
PREVX is an intrusion prevention software vendor whose products prevent malicious intrusion by hackers and Internet worm viruses.
It has developed a market leading Host Intrusion Prevention System (IPS), which protects against both known and new (zero-day)
threats that bypass firewalls and can't be detected by anti-virus products. Launched in 2003 following two years of extensive
R&D; the company is formed of a worldwide team of security software experts. IPS is the latest development in the arms race
against the hacker and virus writer community and provides the final piece of the security jigsaw alongside anti-virus products
and firewalls.
