BT Ethical Hacking Center Validates Significant Security Advances of Federated Networks' ASL Protocol

Federated Networks announced the BT Ethical Hacking Center recently confirmed that Federated Networks’ ASL protocol eliminates pervasive vulnerabilities inherent in the known limitations and weaknesses of current SSL implementations. In independent testing, Federated Networks’ new ASL protocol thwarted serious network-centric security attacks such as phishing, pharming, DNS Poisoning, and proxying, or more generally all forms of man-in-the-middle (M-I-M) attacks.

“We are very pleased to have an ethical hacking firm of the caliber and pedigree of BT to validate the threat mitigation properties of the products, solutions and security technologies that are part of the FN Connect Secure Architecture,” said David Lowenstein, chief executive officer of Federated Networks. “The bottom line is that security products should secure while also being secure, and these validations are an important first step in corroborating the efficacy of our solutions.”The testing is the first in a series of ethical hacking vulnerability assessments to be performed by BT to evaluate Federated Networks’FN Connect Secure Architecture, which comprehensively secures consumers, enterprises and governments wishing to protect their private and confidential data from networked software’s most pervasive threat vectors.
