From Jun 2019 to Jun 2024
Enterasys Networks(R) (NYSE: ETS), the Secure Networks
Company(TM), today introduced Dragon 7.1, the latest version of its
award-winning Dragon Intrusion Defense. Dragon now includes powerful
intrusion prevention capabilities along with unmatched intrusion
detection.
Dragon Intrusion Defense provides comprehensive protection for the
enterprise IT infrastructure by detecting and mitigating network-borne
threats, monitoring and controlling network use, and helping enforce
regulatory compliance. Dragon Intrusion Defense is a key component of
Enterasys' industry-leading Secure Networks(TM) approach to network
security, which embeds granular policy-based security capabilities
directly into the network infrastructure.
Dragon is built on Enterasys' advanced suite of unique threat
detection technologies that monitor both networks and hosts. It not
only mitigates worms and denial-of-service attacks, but also defeats
spyware and a wide array of other malicious activities, and helps
enterprises comply with stringent data-privacy regulations.
The Dragon family of intrusion defense products seamlessly
combines the capabilities of network and host-based intrusion
detection, network and Web server-based intrusion prevention and
enterprise-wide intrusion response to deliver the industry's highest
available level of network threat protection. It leverages multiple
security intelligence sources to ensure maximum visibility by
gathering intelligence from the network itself, third party security
systems, network communications and hosts attaching to the network.
Dragon uses this data to respond quickly and effectively to a wide
range of threats that can disrupt business continuity.
Enterasys architected Dragon's Network IPS technology for 100
percent stealth operation. Although a Dragon Network IPS sits in-line
between switches and routers, it is completely invisible to attackers
and immune to attacks from malicious traffic. They cannot attack what
they cannot see. The Dragon network IPS is built on the award-winning
Dragon intrusion detection engine. Intrusion prevention systems can
only defend against attacks they can detect, and the key is to
leverage a highly accurate threat detection system that minimizes
false positives.
Dragon features a high performance stateful firewall engine,
providing enterprise security managers with greater levels of network
traffic control then traditional IPS systems. The integrated Dragon
firewall technology will be a foundation for new advanced services and
features in future releases. Dragon is configurable right out of the
box to defend against more than 700 types of high-severity threats and
it can be configured to defend against an additional several thousand
exploits and vulnerabilities.
"Dragon 7.1 represents a breakthrough in network intrusion defense
by taking a cohesive, layered approach to network security," says John
Roese, chief technology officer of Enterasys Networks. "Dragon
detects, prevents and responds to the business-crippling effects of
internal and external network threats. No other intrusion prevention
system available today can match Dragon's comprehensive protection
capabilities for helping enterprises maintain business continuity."
Dragon's multifaceted threat detection engine uses multiple
techniques including protocol analysis, anomaly detection and
signature analysis. Dragon core applications contain more than 250
different analysis functions and its signature analysis engine
supports more than 4000 signatures.
In addition to blocking an attacker on the first attempt to
compromise the network, Dragon's IPS can communicate with Enterasys'
Dynamic Intrusion Response solution, enabling policies that will
prevent attackers from accessing any point of entry to the enterprise
network.
With the Introduction of Dragon 7.1, Enterasys has released a new
family of intrusion prevention appliances that scale from 100 Mbps to
1.2 Gbps. The Dragon IPS architecture was designed to enable extremely
high performance levels and Enterasys plans to release multi-gigabit
class platforms in the near future.
Pricing and Availability
Dragon Network IPS appliances are available now from Enterasys
Networks and its worldwide distribution partners beginning at US$9,995
for a 100 Mbps capacity and US$54,995 for the 1.2 Gbps appliance.

This news release contains forward-looking statements regarding
future events, activities and financial performance, such as
management's expectations regarding future revenue and cash flow;
strategic relationships and market opportunities; product development;
and other business strategies and objectives. These statements may be
identified with such words as "we expect," "we believe," "we
anticipate," or similar indications of future expectations. These
statements are neither promises nor guarantees, and actual future
financial performance, events and activities may differ materially.
Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these statements,
which speak only as of the date hereof. We expressly disclaim any
obligation to update such statements publicly to reflect changes in
the expectations, assumptions, events or circumstances on which such
statements may be based or that may affect the likelihood that actual
results will differ materially.
Some risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to
differ materially from these forward-looking statements include, but
are not limited to: worldwide and regional economic uncertainty and
recent political and social turmoil may continue to negatively affect
our business and revenue; we have a history of losses in recent years
and may not operate profitably in the future; our quarterly operating
results may fluctuate, which could cause us to fail to meet quarterly
operating targets and result in a decline in our stock price; we earn
a substantial portion of our revenue for each quarter in the last
month of each quarter, which reduces our ability to accurately
forecast our quarterly results and increases the risk that we will be
unable to achieve previously forecasted results; we continue to
introduce new products, and if our customers delay product purchases
or choose alternative solutions, or if sales of new products are not
sufficient to offset declines in sales of older products, our revenue
could decline, we may incur excess and obsolete inventory charges, and
our financial condition could be harmed; we may be unable to upgrade
our indirect distribution channels or otherwise enhance our selling
capabilities, which may hinder our ability to grow our customer base
and increase our revenue; we have experienced significant changes in
senior management and our current management team has been together
for only a limited time, which could limit our ability to achieve our
objectives and effectively operate our business; there is intense
competition in the market for enterprise network equipment, which
could prevent us from increasing our revenue and achieving
profitability; a portion of the enterprises we sell to rely in whole
or in part on public funding and often face significant budgetary
pressure, and if these customers must delay, reduce or forego
purchasing from us, our revenues could be harmed; we depend upon a
limited number of contract manufacturers for substantially all of our
manufacturing requirements, and the loss of any of our primary
contract manufacturers would impair our ability to meet the demands of
our customers; and those additional risks and uncertainties discussed
in our most recent filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, including our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended July 2,
2005.
