Arxceo Wins Best of Show Impact Award at Security Conference

RSA Conference Judges Select Arxceo for First Annual Impact Award

SAN FRANCISCO, CA, February 22, 2005 – Arxceo™ Corporation, a provider of anomaly-based intrusion prevention and anti-reconnaissance technology, received the first annual Best-of-Show Impact Award at the RSA Conference, the network security industry’s most prestigious event. The Impact Award goes to an exhibitor that effectively and clearly communicates their message or product’s value to attendees, creating the most valuable face-to-face interaction with their prospects. Three other Impact Award recipients were F5 Networks, Symantec Corporation and Computer Associates.

Exhibiting for the first time at the RSA Conference, Arxceo announced the Ally IP1000, the first security appliance based on Microsoft Corporation’s Windows XP Embedded (XPe) operating system. It is also the only security product to provide active and passive anti-reconnaissance capabilities with anomaly and behavior-based intrusion detection and prevention. The Ally IP1000 prevents network reconnaissance, spoofed traffic, session hi-jacking, DNS cache poisoning, data leaks and protocol abuse – dynamically blacklisting computers when appropriate – with its patent-pending Tag-UR-IT™ and Plug and Protect™ (PnPro) technologies. The Ally IP1000 frustrates attackers and stops worms by confusing the reconnaissance results their attacks require and prevents other attacks based on protocol abuse and statistical analysis

“We are excited the judges acknowledged Arxceo’s contribution to RSA and are honored to be one of the first recipients of the Impact Award,” said Don Davidson, president and CEO of Arxceo. “As a startup company, we were delighted to both unveil a new state-of-the-art product and be acknowledged as a conference winner.”
