Magnus cloud, cyber security company based in Nashville, Tennessee, has announced the availability General of its cloud service would represent a significant advance in the defense against the most dangerous cyber attacks, including attacks based robots to sophisticated layer 7 / application layer.

using a deterministic protocol that can always identify whether a bot is hostile or benign, the service eliminates the inherent weakness of signature-based approaches used by most solutions on the market today . With its new approach and algorithm for bot defenses, the cloud solution would be an effective measure available to bot-based attacks including In-Validator, account-Take-Over and DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service).

"This is a fundamentally new and superior approach that eliminates false positives, false negatives, and vulnerability to zero-day exploits," said David Freese, CEO of Magnus Cloud . "the big retail banks and financial institutions have been ready for years for something better and we are convinced that it is."

Auto-Scaling Technology

cloud Magnus solution is based on cryptographically strong behavioral protocol classification which correctly distinguish between hostile and benign devices 100% of the time. In addition, Magnus says that effectiveness of its protocol is affected by the extreme polymorphism found in the attacks the most aggressive bots. the solution works pre-authentication and requires no PII or access to your private SSL key. The deployment would be easy, based on a Web services client.

Magnus absorbs huge attacks based bot using an adaptation, auto-scaling technology platform. It has been successfully tested against the armies of robots including 20,000 large server-class machines running in data center environments on multiple 10 Gbps (gigabits per second) networks, success rates of up to 2 million minute.
