Applicure and Codero Align to Deliver Enterprise-Class Website Security to SMB Market

Herzeliya, Israel (PRWEB) November 18, 2009

Applicure Technologies, Ltd., a leading provider of Web application security software, announced today that it has partnered with Codero, a dedicated and managed hosting company focused on the real needs of today's small- and mid-sized businesses. The partnership enables Codero to provide the award-winning dotDefender Web application security solution to its dedicated and managed hosting customers, helping them protect their websites from external and internal attacks. Small-to-medium businesses hosted on thousands of servers at Codero can now immediately add additional security to their hosting, augmenting existing security measures and helping meet compliance requirements.

Yaacov Sherban, Applicure CEO, stated, “Codero is clearly a market leader in dedicated and managed hosting. dotDefender is the Web application security solution of choice for the hosting industry. There is obviously great synergy in the coupling of premium managed hosting solutions with Applicure’s award-winning defense technology. We are excited to partner with Codero and provide a needed solution to its expanding customer base.”

Even with network security measures in place, hackers can breach a website using a number of methods including SQL injection, cross-site scripting, and session hijacking. These dangerous attacks appear as harmless traffic to a network firewall or anti-virus program and will therefore be allowed to pass through. Based on a comprehensive knowledgebase and sophisticated pattern matching technology which identifies attacks accurately and stops them before they reach their target, dotDefender enables Codero customers to affordably protect their websites, applications, and data from malicious users seeking to exploit vulnerabilities.

“Applicure’s dotDefender software-based Web Application Firewall represents a great complement to our security tools for dedicated servers,” notes Phil Spencer, CEO at Codero. “Designed for multiple platforms and easy deployment, we’re confident this highly-awarded solution offers additional protection for our customers against hackers, data theft and other emerging threats.”
