NetLogic Microsystems and Endeavor Security Collaborate to Accelerate Intrusion Prevention Systems to 10 Gigabits-per-second (Gbps) Performance
The production-ready solution combines NetLogic Microsystems’ 10Gbps NLS210HAP knowledge-based processing solution and Endeavor Security’s market-leading FirstLight Signature knowledgebase to provide industry-leading signatures scanned at industry-leading throughput levels
Mountain View, Calif. – Oct. 8, 2008 – NetLogic Microsystems, Inc. [NASDAQ: NETL], the leader in the design and development of knowledge-based processors and high-speed integrated circuits, and Endeavor Security, Inc., the leader in intrusion detection system (IDS) and intrusion prevention system (IPS) technologies, today announced a broad collaboration between the companies to enable intrusion prevention capabilities for a wide range of performance levels, ranging from high-end carrier and enterprise networks to small and mid-sized businesses (SMB). As part of this collaboration, the companies have demonstrated the industry’s broadest reference implementation of 10 Gigabits-per-second (Gbps) signature detection, by using a combination of Endeavor Security’s market-leading FirstLight signature knowledgebase and NetLogic Microsystems’ NETL7™ Layer 7 knowledge-based processors. This combined solution enables customers to implement next generation secure web, unified threat management (UTM), IPS and policy gateway devices with unprecedented performance and uncompromised security protection against complex and mutated threats.
In addition to the high-end 10Gbps reference solution, the companies have also collaborated to provide a broad range of solutions that enable OEMs to seamlessly scale the performance of their products down to entry-level 250Mbps with a common hardware and software architecture.
“NetLogic Microsystems’ NETL7 knowledge-based processors have proven to be very powerful, easy to use, robust, and cost effective,” said Chris Jordan, CEO of Endeavor Security. “Endeavor is excited to be partnering with NetLogic Microsystems to deliver high-performance solutions using our FirstLight signature knowledgebase. Performing signature matching at multi-gigabit speeds with even a few signatures is already a significant challenge for our customers, and forces them to trade off security in favor of performance. This collaborative partnership will enable our OEM customers to achieve wire speed performance of up to 10Gbps with a database of over 16,000 signatures, resulting in security without compromise.”
Endeavor Security’s FirstLight signature knowledgebase is the industry’s largest multi-vendor commercially-available IPS and malware database. It is comprised of over 16,000 highly-accurate component-based signatures, which cover not only the attack exploit or vulnerability, but also the infection vector, payload and frame. The FirstLight signature knowledgebase enables security OEMs, networking vendors, government agencies and Telco/ISPs to protect their networks against intrusions, viruses, vulnerabilities, compliance violations, blacklist address accesses, policy violations, web attacks and blended threats. The FirstLight signature knowledgebase is supported by the FirstLight Active Malware Protection Grid, which captures new malware and attacks globally, enabling high speed signature generation for deployment to customers via Web XML SOAP. The FirstLight signature knowledgebase is widely deployed by U.S. government agencies and leading security vendors such as Clavister, D-Link, Enterasys, Secure Computing, Trustwave and Watchguard Technologies.
“We are raising the bar by partnering with a respected security leader to deliver a real-world solution incorporating a best-of-breed intrusion protection signature knowledgebase,” said Chris O’Reilly, vice president of marketing at NetLogic Microsystems. “Endeavor’s FirstLight signature knowledgebase has achieved broad customer adoption, and the combination of these two solutions creates a proven solution for OEMs to add security for high-speed security appliances and networking equipment, such as switches and routers.”
The NLS210HAP knowledge-based processing solution and the FirstLight signature knowledgebase are available now from NetLogic Microsystems and Endeavor Security, respectively.About NetLogic Microsystems

Trustwave Strengthens Security Effectiveness of Managed Security Appliances
CHICAGO AND WASHINGTON D.C. (August 5, 2008) –Trustwave, the leading provider of on-demand data security and payment card industry compliance management solutions to businesses and organizations throughout the world, announces the expanded security effectiveness of its managed IDS, IPS, and UTM services by joining Endeavor Security’s FirstLight signature library with Trustwave’s asset-based vulnerability correlation technology. Endeavor Security is a leader in intrusion detection and prevention technologies.
Endeavor Security’s global decoy grid and leading-edge signature library equip Trustwave’s signature operations team with the most current intelligence regarding in-the-wild threats. Trustwave’s proprietary technology enables IDS and IPS defense solutions to intelligently adapt to these new threats, modifying detection and prevention policies to any asset, including those with identified vulnerabilities. Trustwave’s UTM appliance delivers a variety of services including Firewall, IPS, Anti-Virus, Web Content Filtering and VPN services, managed and monitored 24 x 7 by Trustwave’s security experts. All of these services can be utilized concurrently to provide the best possible defense against online hazards attempting to access consumers' personal and other critical data.
This intelligence is also integrated into Trustwave’s recently-introduced high-speed IPS solution. As a truly adaptive intrusion prevention solution, Trustwave’s high-speed IPS appliance continually scans and monitors the network and applies that knowledge to the enabled protection signatures. This technique dramatically increases performance while reducing false positives.
“Trustwave’s knowledge of compliance and incident response makes them particularly well suited to manage global security operations” says Chris Jordan, CEO of Endeavor Security. “The Trustwave UTM device and managed service now has a knowledgebase of attacks that is second to none and will greatly enhance an organization’s security posture.”
