Hot stuff going on at Symbiot

Many of you will remember Symbiot as the lead sponsor for the Linux Top Gun events. If you’ve checked the Symbiot website recently, you see a digital countdown, and the tagline: On March 31st, the rules of information warfare will change forever. Talk about throwing down the gauntlet! So what’s this all about?

Symbiot’s March 4, Press Release entitled “Symbiot Security Announces World’s First Solution to Strike Back Against Network-Based Attackers” gives the brief outline. Michael Erwin, President of Symbiot, says, “Until today, security solutions have been totally passive in nature.”. The best defense is a good offence, eh? Release the countermeasures! For those of you who want more details, Symbiot has a white paper on the new product.

It’s always good to see an Austin company create some excitement. Best wishes to Symbiot for a successful rollout.
