CounterStorm announced that Info Security Products Guide, a Silicon Valley Communications publication and the world's leading publication on security-related products and technologies has named CounterStorm-1, winner of the 2006 Tomorrow's Technology Today Award. This prestigious award recognizes security vendors with advanced, ground-breaking network security solutions that are helping set the bar higher for others in all areas of information security. CounterStorm-1 was selected by the editors of Info Security Products Guide based on technologies that are making the most positive impact on security in today's highly sophisticated and blended attacks environment.

"We are pleased to present this award to CounterStorm based on their unique and effective approach in providing intrusion prevention for today's most virulent attacks," said Rick Justice, chief technology editor, Info Security Products Guide. "Their signatureless approach, deployment out-of-band on the network interior, and multi-detection technology makes them an innovator in the next generation of intrusion prevention products."

CounterStorm-1 is extremely fast and accurate in identifying and stopping targeted attacks, wormstorms and slow and stealthy attacks through a best-of-breed combination of behavioral attack recognition, anomaly detection and a dynamic honeypot. Evidence from each of these three engines is dynamically correlated in real-time to enable immediate and accurate identification and containment of malicious activity. The ability to shed many of the constraints associated with traditional IPS solutions including inline deployment, reliance on signatures, and high false positive rate, makes CounterStorm-1 the most effective next layer of security.

"Traditional IPS technology is significantly flawed because it is unable to protect networks against unknown attacks or internal threats," said Gil Arbel, president and CEO, CounterStorm. "This award, combined with our customer traction, demonstrates CounterStorm-1's unique ability to bridge the security gaps left by traditional security solutions, further validating our approach to stopping attacks that evade traditional IPS solutions and bring down networks."
