1. Save total costs for Web operating and improve the Web management
2. Save time and money for System Integration and Web building.
3. No worry to Web security and Say “Good Bye” to attacker.
Why do you need to upgrade to 3Gweb®?
1. Vital Vulnerabilities and Connate Flaws exist in the conventional Web servers
Conventional Web servers, such as Apache and IIS, are unsecured and with critical vulnerabilities. It is such as the Web contents are plaintext and they are visible and alterable; exposed to Internet by long term. Additional, it is without inspection, without the protection. Plus, the conventional Web servers are lack of capability for anti-attack! Attackers have very understood how to exploit those vulnerabilities to gain the money and benefits. Those vulnerabilities are attracting the attackers to hit your site!
2. The current solution of “Perimeter Security Products + Web” never offered a secured and trusted Web platform.
Innumerable cyber crimes have proven this fact. The recent soaring number of Web infected with malicious codes proved it once again! The current perimeter security products, such as Firewall, IDS/IPS, WAF(Web Application-Firewall) etc, are unable to stop all of attacks. At the very least, "Unknown Attacks" which carry no "attack signature" cannot be blocked by the current security solution. No one can predict when, how and what kind of cyber-attack comes next. "'Walled-Fortress' security is medieval”, Bill Gates, Symantec’s Chairman and many security experts derided the idea of the perimeter defense at RSA conference 2007. Experts are looking for the next generation technology.
3. The Internet is ever more dangerous: Hackers + Unknown attacks + Age of Cyberwar
Cyber-threats and attack technologies grow faster, and are ever more frequent, sophisticated, organizational and unpredictable. 83% of Internet traffic is malicious as reported by Sun Microsystems Inc., 2006. “125 to 175 new malicious software codes pop up every day, 25 nations have a cyber warfare program”, said Cyber Security Industry Alliance USA, in Dec. 2007! The future Web attacks will not come only from hacker personal, but also may come from the national organizations! You need newer technology and the next generation Web server to facing the increasing dangerous Internet!
Self-Defense Technology and Computer Bio-Security
Computer Bio-Security is one of the most advanced interdisciplinary researches in Computer Science. It focus the major research on the mechanism that why biological-creatures are able to survive in this harsh natural world, and on how to emulate that mechanism into computer systems as well as robots in order to run longer terms in Internet world and other dangerous environment in real world.
In natural world, almost of all creatures do have abilities of self-healing after being injury. This is one of important reason why creature can surmount harsh natural environment and have become established, from Ancient to today.
Even though, various viruses, germs and many attackers with both of known and unknown attacks fill full in the natural world, that resulted human and animal may be hurt, may be sick, but human is able to live a long lifespan with 80 years old or more. Why? But why computer can’t do same in the Internet World?
Per our research, there is one Self-Defending system exiting in body of human and animal. At least there are four lines of defense can be found out at the Self-Defense System existing in human body. “Immunity”, “Self-Healing”, “Skin” and “Nerve System”.
Skin: To survive the harsh environment, all creatures must have been sheltered in fitted skin or tortoise-shell or in some kind of receptacle. It’s the first line of defense for protection.
Self-Healing: The self-healing cycle that exists in the natural world. Once creature is hurt, or becomes sick, causing a recovery active process by the self-healing system. If the self-healing function is not effective, then creature will surely die.
Immunity. The immune system within the human’s body can help to resist both of known and unknown viruses to decrease sickness. If the immunity system lacks strength, then the human may have a shorter lifespan cycle.
Nerve system. The nerve system is a very complex system which can be found everywhere around body. It can detecting ache from skin or/and internal organs, and transfer signal to brain, and taking action to defend against further damage or go to see doctor to getting helps from outside of body with medicine or surgery.
In contrast, nowadays the computer system does not have a built-in Self-Defense system. Thus, if any hacker or virus intruded the computer system, then the computer suffers internally with tremendous performance decrease or even ceases to serve.
It is commonly known that the best way to prevent illness from germs and viruses is by strengthening a body’s immune system, not just relying on anecdotal remedies. Same rule applies to a computer in the cyber world – an internal self-defending security system will always work more efficiently and effectively than using those Perimeter Security Products merely.
3Gweb® Self-Defending Web Server
After years of pioneering researches, Bit-Shield has successfully implemented this self-defense system based on Computer Bio-Security principle into the computer system. Thus it has developed the 3Gweb® Self-Defending Web Server, first ever in the world. From now on, a Web server is able to serve continuously without disruption and to have a much longer term of life in the more and more dangerous Internet Environment, like human being in the natural world.
As the next generation Web server, the main function of 3Gweb® still is the http server. Of course, the Self-Defending Web server also primarily defined by the four international standards defined by W3C organization, include
URLs (Uniform Resource Locators),
HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol),
HTML (Hypertext Markup Language),
CGI (Common Gateway Interface).
In order to offer a complete secured Web server platform with reduced cost of installation and total operation cost for Web management, 3Gweb® has been developed as an all-in-one appliance. It is build upon a unique harden host server that features two separate physical motherboards in a rack-mount chassis. In addition, major software needed for running website have been pre-installed to directly support the most favorite LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP or Perl) Web environment, currently.
What is the innovative?
Conventional Web servers such as Apache, IIS, etc., were invented in the 20th Century. They only provide HTTP functions and do not have any defense capability to safeguard themselves or their contents which are visible and alterable plaintext. Even with one or more perimeter firewalls, the original Web contents can be directly exposed, accessed, altered or even deleted by illegal intruders or http warms through the Internet. Worse yet, the database can also be exposed to intrusion through the Web server, resulting information/identity theft. Furthermore, there is no inspection for the Web contents while they are stored on the web server to waiting the visitor’s request. What the end client receives may not be the original intended information.
As the next generation Web server, 3Gweb® offers both of HTTP-server functions and features a supreme bio-security based Self-Defense mechanism. There are two physically separated zones in a 3Gweb® self-defending Web server, the Isolation Zone and the Germfree Zone. The Isolation Zone is where a mirror copy of the original web contents resides, which protected by authentication and encryption, and can be accessed by the web visitors and attackers. The Germfree Zone contains the original web contents and it does not allow any direct contact with the Internet. If there is any unauthorized alteration or deletion made to the contents in the Isolation Zone, prior to responding any legitimate request, a proactive “Self-Healing” process takes place instantly between the Isolation Zone and the Germfree Zone, recovering and sending out the original contents at once. Alarm messages through e-mail and mobile text message are sent to Web master promptly, functioning as the “Nerve Monitory System”.
In addition, 3Gweb® also prevents various attacks from the Internet, such as Buffer Overflow, DDOS, SQL Injection etc., with its superior "Digital Skin" which similar built-in Gigabit Firewalls + WAF( Web Application Firewall). Working together as one Self-Defense mechanism, these bio-security based features enables 3Gweb® eliminating various vulnerabilities and connate flaws existing in conventional web servers.
