Third Brigade’s Host Intrusion Prevention System Stops Attacks That Could Exploit Recent Security Vulnerabilities

Vulnerabilities exist in a broad range of enterprise software applications.

Ottawa, Ontario (PRWEB) November 9, 2005

Third Brigade, Inc. (www. thirdbrigade. com) today announced that customers that have deployed Deep Security, its advanced Host Intrusion Prevention System (HIPS) are protected from attacks that could exploit new software vulnerabilities recently disclosed for Microsoft, Linux, Computer Associates, Novell, Snort and Veritas.

Microsoft: Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in Microsoft Windows that allow an attacker to remotely execute code on the vulnerable system and take complete control of it. The vulnerabilities exist in the rendering of Windows Metafile (WMF) and Enhanced Metafile (EMF) image formats, and any program that renders these files could be vulnerable to an attack.

Linux: A new Linux worm known as Linux/Plupii or Linux/Lupper exploits vulnerabilities in PHP and Perl CGI scripts on Linux and Unix based web servers. The worm propagates by searching for, and exploiting, unpatched systems that remain vulnerable.

In addition to these vulnerability announcements, there have been a number of other recent vulnerabilities that affect enterprise software, including:

  Computer Associates Unicenter Message Queuing Buffer Overflow (CVE-2005-2668)  Novell ZENworks Patch Management Multiple SQL Injection Vulnerabilities (CVE-2005-3315)  Snort Back Orifice Pre-processor Buffer Overflow (CAN-2005-3252)  Veritas NetBackup Java Remote Format String vulnerability (CAN-2005-2715)

Compromise of systems with any of these vulnerabilities can result in loss of system availability, damage to data integrity or exposure of confidential information and highlights the severity of today’s threat environment.

“Although patch Tuesday puts the focus squarely on Microsoft, it’s important to remember that vulnerabilities exist in all commercial software, as well as custom software applications,” said Brian O’Higgins, Chief Technology Officer of Third Brigade. “Enterprises need to complement their existing defense mechanisms with a host-based intrusion prevention system that protects a broad set of platforms and applications,” he added.

Third Brigade customers are advised to apply updates containing the latest filters that protect against these vulnerabilities.

The LaserComb ( Class 2 Laser Comb medical laser for home use to treat hair loss, scalp and damaged hair problems) is now available in Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Brunei and the rest of South East Asia.

SINGAPORE (PRWEB) January 27, 2004

The HairMax LaserComb (a medical device for home use to treat hair loss, scalp and damaged hair problems) is now available in Singapore, Indonesia and Malaysia.

" We are greatly excited to be able to introduce this new medical breakthrough to Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia as the HairMax LaserComb is affordable, it is designed to be used at home and there's no need for users to pay again and again for unproven and ineffective treatments at hair care centers " according to Mr. Timothy Chan Managing Director of DermaLogix Cosmedics " now users in Singapore, Indonesia and Malaysia can buy the Laser Comb directly from office or at any of our authorized outlets or from our online shop at http://www. DermaLogix. net (http://www. DermaLogix. net) "

The HairMax LaserComb is a hand-held home Laser PhotoTherapy device for the treatment of male and female pattern hair loss as well as all types of hair and scalp problems, such as thin hair, weak hair, grey hair and damaged hair conditions.

In 2002 based on appropriate scientific information and clinical data submitted to Health Canada, and after examination of all data submitted, the Canadian Health Authority certified the Laser Comb as a Class 2 Medical Device (Medical Device License Number 61237)allowing the following therapeutic claims to be made to the Canadian public.

-The HairMax LaserComb increases the strength of scalp hair in men and women.

-The HairMax LaserComb prevents scalp hair loss in men and women.

-The HairMax LaserComb causes regrowth of scalp hair in men and women.

Last year the LaserComb was also cleared to be marketed and sold in Singapore and classified as a Class 2a Medical Device by the Health Science Authority of Singapore since it complies with all safety, quality and performance standards of a medical device ( HSA Center for Medical Device Regulation - Registration number 728-2003-1).

The HairMax LaserComb also received CE certification for conformity with the essential health and safety requirements set out in European Directives and complies with US FDA laser safety standards.

The LaserComb was developed from nearly two decades of clinical research and is manufactured by Lexington International LLC in the USA with patent in the USA and patents pending in over one hundred countries around the world.

DermaLogix Cosmedics was appointed as the exclusive distributor for Singapore, Indonesia and Malaysia since July 2003. The results of the Laser Comb in treatment of hair loss, so far have been very promising. Mr. Andy Chan and Mr. Simon Lim, both users in Singapore, was so happy with their results just after 2 months of treatment allowed the company to use his testimonial in their marketing campaign.

According to a paper published in the summer 2003 issue (Volume 5, Number 2) of International Journal of Cosmetic Surgery and Aesthetic Dermatology, a report entitled, "Hair Regrowth and Increased Hair Tensile Strength Using the HairMax LaserComb for Low-Level Laser Therapy," John L. Satino and Michael Markou, D. O., from The Laser Hair and Scalp Clinic (Clearwater, FL) describe the remarkable results patients achieved with the HairMax LaserComb after six months of treatment. Patients used the laser comb at home for 5 to 10 minutes every other day. The comb-like teeth of the device separate the hair, exposing the scalp to the light from nine laser beams. Patients reported no adverse effects.

Thirty-five patients, 28 men and 7 women with androgenetic alopecia, a common form of hair loss, used the comb for six months. The investigators counted the number of hairs in the area of greatest hair loss and also determined the strength of the hair before and after treatment. Hair count increased 93.5% on average, with both men and women showing significant improvement. Hair strength increased 78.9% across all patients.

" Our company is looking forward to work with partners who are in the beauty, hair or healthcare industry to promote this medical device to home users " added Mr. Adrian Lim Manager of DermaLogix Cosmedics Singapore " at present we are working closely with a few well known hair transplant surgeons and beauty specialist and we invite any doctors or salons owners to be our authorized retailers.

" Those who are interested to get a copy of the above mentioned medical journal report or to find out more about Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) or be work with our company do visit our web site and contact us immediately " added Mr. Timothy Chan.
