Teros, the global leader in Web application firewalls, has announced that Regions Bank (a subsidiary of Regions Financial Corporation) (NYSE:RF) has selected the Teros 200 Web Application Firewall to protect the bank's Web infrastructure.
The Teros 200 enables Regions to provide its customers with the highest level of Web application security currently on the market, as well as to protect critical applications from known and emerging threats and vulnerabilities.
"Teros helps us protect our customers by providing quick deployment that in turn allows us to secure mission-critical Web applications," said Michael Colley, Regions manager of firewall/Internet support. "The product offers superior scalability, and the Teros support organization has provided excellent customer service."
Designed for maximum reliability and unparalleled scalability, the Teros 200 provides Regions Bank with a real-time solution to defend against Web application attacks that attempt to leverage vulnerabilities to gain network access or to steal private information. Positioned between the applications and end users, the Teros 200 permits only valid Web traffic, while blocking application-layer attacks not detected by either network firewalls or intrusion prevention systems.
"The protection of online financial services systems is the largest solution space that Teros serves, and we fully understand the requirement for today's banks and insurers to provide safe and reliable online service," said Bob Walters, CEO of Teros. "We are privileged to be chosen as Regions Bank's enterprise application security service provider, and we are confident that our deep expertise and mature product line will deliver continuous protection to the online assets of this financial services leader."
The Teros 200 is a gateway appliance suitable for data center deployments requiring gigabit speeds with hardware fault tolerance, load balancing and integration with enterprise authentication and firewalls. The Teros Web Application Firewall defends against application attacks that evade network-level defenses. It blocks improper Web requests and filters inappropriate responses, thus working to prevent theft of private information and identities and eliminate Web downtime and online extortion risks. The Teros solution reduces the number of security and delivery devices in the Web path. The Teros is a complete gateway including central management, hardware accelerated encryption and full FIPS compliance.
