New Feature Will Bring Transparency And Enhanced Security To Enterprise Users

Las Vegas, November 16, 2009 - Microdasys Inc. today announced that it will include geographical server location information in its SCIP SSL Content Proxy and the XSG XML Security Gateway. The new feature will inform the user of the geographical location of a web server he is connecting to, hence allowing the user to make an informed decision whether or not to proceed with the connection or to entrust that server with his personal data. Enterprise administrators will be able to define policies and have a warning displayed to the user if he connects to a server that is physically located in a certain region of the world or block connections to servers in specific regions altogether.

"Everybody can apply for a dot.com or virtually any other top level domain, that does not mean that the server is actually located in the USA or in the country the domain seems to signify. The newer generic TLD's such as biz, info or mobi only add to the problem." said Matthias Baumhof, CTO of Microdasys. "With our GeoIP location feature, the user is informed about the physical location of the server, allowing him to identify phishing attempts and to stay away from web sites that are located in high risk countries. At the same time, system and security administrators can define policies that prevent users to connect to web sites in certain geographic areas."

GeoIP protection will be included as a standard feature in all Microdasys products and be available by the end of December 2009. Existing customers of SCIP or XSG can upgrade free of charge through their maintenance program.
