Leave a comment

Alexandria, VA, September 23, 2015 — /EPR INTERNET NEWS/ — SafeDNS (https://www.safedns.com/) web filtering service is awarded Approved Parental Control Product by AV-Comparatives, a world leading test lab of online safety and antivirus solutions.

SafeDNS filtering system has been reviewed along with five other parental controls and got awesome scores from AV-Comparatives (http://www.av-comparatives.org/parental-control-reviews-2015/).

Having been vigorously tested in real-world environment SafeDNS web filtering solution shows great results in AV-Comparatives Parental Control Report of 2015. According to this report SafeDNS blocks over 98% of pornography. With zero rate of false positives (false alarms wrongly produced when trying to access expressly child-friendly domains) SafeDNS filtering system clearly proves its efficiency without overblocking its users.

SafeDNS test results outperform those of 18 similar products reviewed last year by AV-Comparatives (http://www.av-comparatives.org/parental-control-review-september-2014/). Overall result of SafeDNS web filtering service is significantly higher than the average score of all the products in last year’s Parental Control Report.

SafeDNS beats most of the competitors including OpenDNS, recently acquired by Cisco. Though OpenDNS is often regarded globally to be the leading developer of cloud web filtering solutions SafeDNS obviously surpasses it in general AV-Comparatives assessment as well as in blocking particular categories of harmful content online.

SafeDNS has proved to be a very reliable tool for blocking pornography which is the same or better than the 13 of the other parental controls tested last year. Many competing solutions in AV-Comparatives report are less efficient than SafeDNS in filtering out other child-unfriendly online resources (such as Abortion, Gambling, Hate or Weapons).

The company has achieved these outstanding results by constantly improving its products and service offering its customers sophisticated web content filtering solutions which provide customers, from home users to telcos, with an easy way to manage and control web access and an additional layer of online security against malware, phishing and botnets.

Company Bio: SafeDNS is a start-up founded in 2010 for developing cloud based web filtering solutions. In 2013 SafeDNS launched commercial version of its service for home, educational and corporate users. In 2014 SafeDNS released its web filtering platform for ISPs and mobile operators.

New Firewall Hacking Book By HackerStorm For Penetration Testing & Ethical Hackers, Cowboy Testers Beware!

Leave a comment

HackerStorm.com has published a new ebook aimed at ethical hackers and security professionals who hire or manage penetration testing services.

‘Firewall Hacking Secrets For Security Professionals’, available via Amazon.com for kindle, is the first ebook in the series. For many, firewall’s are the first line of defence and with high profile hacking incidents on the rise, the requirement for good firewall testing is now essential.

Timur Mehmet, author of the ebook and creator of HackerStorm.com comments:
“Firewall testing and hacking was an easy choice as a first publication, many depend heavily on firewall security and a lot of organisations are being targeted for all manner of reasons which creates a demand for regular firewall testing”.

Timur Mehmet adds: “The aim of the ebook is to give people enough knowledge to enable managers and penetration testers to ask the right questions so that they can create a more meaningful test scope and test plan. All too often the testers ask what the customer wants and the customer really has no idea, all they know is they are worried about Anonymous, LulzSec and the rise in activity from Iran and China but have no idea on how to approach the testing or how to evaluate the testers”.

“Unfortuntately, some testers out there relish this situation becuase it enables them to do the minimum amount of work for the maximum amount of money leaving the hiring managers with a huge false sense of security, on the flip side, there are many penetration testers and ethical hackers who want to know if what they are doing is in line with best practice as most books on the subject provide very little information other than to download and install some free tools”.

‘Firewall Hacking Secrets For Security Professionals’ is a vendor neutral guide aimed purely at testing firewall technology. The book does not focus on how to use various tools or explain basic networking like virtually all hacking books to date. The HackerStorm.com ebook gets straight to it.

A summarised checklist is also provided to help create a test plan and to enable all parties to discuss the scope of testing to ensure the project is relevant.

The book is currently available in Kindle format via Amazon for immediate download with further formats plannned in the future. To stay informed about new tools and ebooks, you can follow hackerStorm.com on Twitter at @hackerstorm.
