In2net Network Turns to Top Layer Networks’ Intrusion Prevention Solution for Cyber Protection

Westboro, MA, June 26, 2006 -

Top Layer Networks, the global leader for high performance intrusion prevention solutions, today announced that its IPS 5500 intrusion prevention solution has been deployed by In2net Network, Inc, an Internet services and solutions pioneer. As part of In2net’s growth plans, the company sought an intrusion prevention solution that would be able to handle its bandwidth projections while providing the high performance protection it needed, and selected Top Layer’s IPS 5500.

“In2net doubled its bandwidth over the past year to keep up with customer demand and we expect to continue on that growth trajectory. As we add more services that customers will use, it is critical that we deploy a security solution that can handle the throughput while delivering the highest levels of protection,” said Richard Wong, network administrator, In2net Network. “With 4-gig ports and an easy-to-use interface, the IPS 5500 provides In2net with the protection from both old and new cyber attacks alike at the performance levels our customers need.”

In2net Network is one of the early pioneers of Internet services and solutions. Since the establishment of the company in 1996, it has steadily expanded its network and capabilities. Today, In2net specialize in providing server colocation and advanced hosting solutions to enterprises of all sizes. Its customers recognize In2net for its flexible and friendly customer service and practical solutions. Its purpose-built facility has been engineered to offer high performance, high availability and scalability, and designed with advanced hosting customers in mind. Its goal is to be able to support and enhance customers’ mission critical applications through the use of its network.

As part of the security infrastructure aspect of its growth planning, In2net evaluated a number of technologies, including firewalls. However, firewalls alone were not powerful enough to deliver the adequate protection and could not solve the common denial-of-service (DoS) threats that face service providers. In2net needed a device that could handle both rate-based DoS threats as well as content-based threats. After extensive internal product testing, Top Layer’s IPS 5500 intrusion prevention solution excelled where firewalls failed.

“We were impressed with the abilities the IPS 5500 displayed throughout the testing process. We had used a previous version of Top Layer’s IPS device in the past, and the latest version of the IPS 5500 is much easier to use with its new user interface and provides even greater protection,” added Wong. “Top Layer’s IPS 5500 delivers the three-dimensional protection from undesired access, malicious content and rate-based attacks at the performance levels that will help enable In2net realize its business growth goals.”
