dotDefender 2.0, a powerful security software solution for web server and database, protects against a broad range of attacks, including: Denial of Service, SQL Injection, Cross-site Scripting, Cookie Tampering, Path Traversal, Probes, Session Hijacking and known attack sources.

Applicure Technologies, a pioneering provider of advanced application security solutions for the Web environment, announced today the release of dotDefender 2.0 - an advanced security solution that analyzes incoming HTTP requests and blocks embedded attacks from penetrating the Web environment. dotDefender 2.0 is a cost-effective, software-based solution that deploys quickly on the Web host with a preconfigured, automatically updated rule set that enables it to protect the Web environment immediately upon installation with virtually no administrator intervention.

Based on Applicure’s groundbreaking TotalShield technology, dotDefender resides on the Web server, where it intercepts and analyzes incoming HTTP requests: those that are found to violate the defined rules are blocked – ensuring that malicious attacks seeking to compromise mission-critical Web applications or data assets are denied entry into the Web environment.

“Whether an organization is small, medium, or large, the Web has become an indispensable component of its business IT infrastructure – and protecting the corporate Web environment from increasingly frequent attacks has become a mission-critical imperative
