| IRVINE, CA – The G-Server web application and
content security appliance from Gilian Technologies has been designated
"Best Buy" in a competitive evaluation of web security products. Conducted
by West Coast Publishing’s laboratories and published in the August issue of
SC Magazine, the test concluded that the G-Server is "a most complete and
effective way" for customers to protect their corporate web presence.
Gilian CEO Dr. Avi Margalith said, "Earning the distinction of ‘best buy’
underscores what our customers have known all along: Gilian provides
superior technology that pays for itself the first time it comes into use.
The G-Server was evaluated directly against several other approaches, and
each fell short. With our unchallenged reputation for dependability, the
‘best buy’ title provides another vote of confidence; we are honored to
receive it."
SC Magazine’s Geoff Marshall wrote that the G-Server is "completely
transparent and requires no changes to any network settings on other network
equipment. It has no IP address visible to the outside world, so is
undetectable by hackers." Furthermore, the G-Server "protects even dynamic
content that is generated by web applications (usually scripts) in response
to user requests."
As a result, G-Server has been 100 percent successful in preventing
corrupt applications from being executed and defaced content from being
served.
A company’s website is its "shop window," Marshall wrote. "Defacement of
your web site may detract from your company’s credibility, as well as losing
business and customers. It could lead to unwelcome high-profile publicity.
People will think that if you can’t secure your web site, how can you be
trusted with confidential business transactions? Your competency as an
internet business comes into question."
As a result, he continued, "protecting your web site with a strong and
durable solution that stops this type of attack is a necessity, not a
luxury."
The "group test" examined a range of products that protect website
integrity and safeguard against even subtle changes that may not be
immediately noticed, Marshall said. The "verdict?" The G-Server was
designated the "best buy," with the comment that it is "a most complete and
effective way of protecting your corporate web presence."

The G-Server’s proven anti-hacking track record is based on a concept
that Gilian pioneered called ExitControl™, designed to keep fraudulent
information from ever being published on a website. The company recently
introduced application protection features that authenticate incoming HTTP
and HTTPS requests and use this same approach to automatically stop an
application from performing corrupted transactions. This new feature can
protect a company’s precious internal servers, keeping it from malicious
hackers who might want to gain access to ruin a business.
