Implements Top Layer's IPS 5500 intrusion prevention system to protect hosting environment and ensure reliable connectivity for customers.

Top Layer Networks, a provider of intrusion prevention solutions, recently announced that Dexagon, a provider of network and Internet hosting services, has implemented Top Layer's IPS 5500 intrusion prevention system.

Following an extensive review of IPS solutions available on the market, Dexagon selected Top Layer's IPS 5500 to protect its servers and networks from a growing array of cyber threats, from HTTP worms and zero-day exploits to high-volume denial-of-service (DoS) attacks and unauthorized access.

"Dexagon customers rely on our network and Internet services to conduct business, so it is crucial that our operations are well-protected from the growing number and types of threats," said Dave Millier, Partner with Dexagon. "As an integral part of our defense-in-depth strategy, the Top Layer IPS 5500's robust intrusion prevention capabilities effectively protect our hosting environment while providing insightful reports and clear visibility into our server and network activity. After reviewing the other solutions available on the market, the IPS 5500 was the clear choice because of its superior performance, unmatched protection mechanisms and manageability."

Peter Rendall, President and CEO of Top Layer, added, "Network services and Internet hosting firms cannot afford downtime. Companies like Dexagon that understand how much customers truly rely on their services to conduct day-to-day business are fast realizing intrusion prevention technologies like Top Layer's IPS 5500 can help them rid their networks of unwanted viruses, worms and other threats to ensure network availability and reliability - and therefore their customers' success."
