Sydney, Australia – DECEMBER 21, 2009 — Nominum, the leader in intelligent DNS systems, announced today a powerful and easily deployable solution for Australian service providers to support new measures announced by the Australian government to improve safety on the Internet. Leveraging Nominum’s Vantio™ Base Server, Malicious Domain Redirection (MDR) Service Delivery Module, and Centris™ [...]
Complete integration and automation of DNSSEC functions enables scaling without appliances and eliminates operational overhead and errors that may cause Internet sites to disappear.
Nominum now has more than 100 million broadband households around the world that benefit from it’s Intelligent DNS systems. Continued rapid expansion at leading service providers globally will bring the benefits to more than 170 million by year end, which represents nearly half of the entire broadband Internet.
Nominum allows service providers to provide instant and automatic protection to Internet users against a wide range of web based threats as soon as they are discovered. These threats include botnets, phishing, illegal content, and many other forms of malware. By leveraging Intelligent DNS systems, Nominum‚s TRUE Architecture ensures Internet users have a safe, secure and productive experience and represents a new era for the DNS and its critical role in the Internet.
Nominum has a very simple, efficient, and effective solution that allows service providers to quickly comply with regulatory mandates or agreements being negotiated that require them to block access to child exploitation sites on the Internet. Nominum‚s solution offers service providers several key advantages:
No invasion of user privacy; packet contents are not examined
Simple deployment with no new equipment in the network or operational overhead
Preserves the subscriber experience; performance, latency and availability are not impacted
Confidentiality of lists of banned sites to prevent inadvertent disclosure or theft
Nominum changes the DHCP landscape with significant enhancements to the Dynamic Configuration System (DCS), its commercial-grade Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server featuring the industry‚s best performance, scalability, and availability for IP network connections. New DCS features support DHCPv6 and extensive new management capabilities that allow network operations staff to make the best use of precious IP addresses.
Nominum announced today that it has joined the Family Online Safety Institute, an international non-profit organization dedicated to identifying and promoting best practices, tools and methods to protect children using the Internet. Nominum will also serve on the FOSI board.
Nominum has joined the Anti-Phishing Working Group (APWG), an organization dedicated to eliminating identity theft and fraud related to e-mail scams known as Phishing. As part of the APWG Nominum will share information and solutions that will empower service providers and content providers to eliminate phishing.
Kabel Deutschland (KDG), the leading triple-play provider in Germany, has deployed Nominum‚s VantioT Base Server as the foundation for its core Internet services. KDG recognized very early that a reliable, high-performance DNS service was critical to its entire broadband business. The company deployed a commercial best-of-breed solution instead of freeware, recognizing it would gain long-term benefits in the form of network security, responsiveness, and stability.
