SAN JOSE, Calif., RSA Conference 2006, February 14, 2006 –Arxceo™ Corporation, a provider of anti-reconnaissance and anomaly-based, attack-prevention technology, today announced an OEM licensing agreement with Port80 Software, Inc., a leading developer of HTTP solutions and tools for Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) Web servers. Port80 Software will license Arxceo’s Ally™ family of network security appliances and resell them as the ServerMask ip100 and ServerMask IP1000 security appliances.

Port80 Software will bundle the Ally ip100™ and Ally IP1000™ appliances, which mask TCP/IP network signatures from detection, with the company’s leading ServerMask software, a Microsoft IIS Web server module that obscures the identity of a Windows Web server from potential hackers at the HTTP level. Together, the anti-reconnaissance market leaders will provide a complete solution designed to prevent attackers from accurately identifying a Windows network or Microsoft IIS Web server, the first, most crucial and often overlooked step in hacking.
