Service Security and Network Reliability
Web servers are the most commonly-attacked network service. Often your web service is the most vulnerable link in your corporate infrastructure, whilst being the most valuable. Downtime or service compromise will cause lost sales and loss of reputation.
Engineered for resilience
ZWS is secure out of the box, hardened against intrusion and Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks, and designed from the outset with service security in mind. Our outstanding security track record provides peace of mind for both you and your customers.
Service Protection
Zeus Web Server has unique protection against Denial of Service (DoS) style attacks and transparently shields your existing web infrastructure from well-publicized exploits. New proactive security countermeasures can easily be deployed across your web cluster with no downtime to your service. Built-in real-time monitoring and threat analysis reporting keep you informed on how, when and by whom your site is being attacked so that you can take appropriate action.
Service Protection enables you to configure your site to reject certain requests and limit the number of concurrent connections and rate of connections that will be accepted from different IP addresses.
Attack filters can be easily be created by hand, or automatically generated by popular industry tools like Snort. Debugging and testing tools enable you to simulate the effect of connection limiting or HTTP filters without discarding any requests.
Rapid protection for applications
Third-party applications may be vulnerable to newly-discovered service security holes, and it may be some time before a patch can be obtained from a vendor. Service Protection rules can be immediately deployed to block attempted attacks until application fixes become available.

Blistering SSL performance
ZWS contains the world's fastest SSL-stack, highly optimized for modern 64-bit platforms. The performance difference between ZWS and Apache is is even more extreme under SSL workloads. The industry standard SPECweb99_SSL benchmark simulates real-life broadband traffic and the benchmark results speak for themselves - on every platform and every architecture, companies like Dell, HP, Sun, IBM, Intel and AMD all choose ZWS for their submissions; ZWS holds every SPECweb99_SSL world record, from commodity one-way servers to huge SMP monster boxes.
Horizontally scalability, made easy
High resilience and capacity is commonly achieved by horizontally scalingyour web infrastructure on commodity hardware with a load balancer to routetraffic around failed machines. But administering large clusters of machinesis a time-consuming and error-prone task.
ZWS makes life simple again. Designed from the outset with clustering inmind, ZWS dramatically simplifies web site administration, making an entirecluster of boxes as simple as one. What's more, its phenomenal performance can dramaticallyincrease the capacity and headroom of your current hardware.
Certificate management
ZWS is able to store securely 'certificate sets' and ensure theseare made available to the web server or servers that it manages. This meansthat deploying SSL certificates throughout a cluster of 20 machines is assimple a process as for one.
One click certificate generation
Forget complicated openssl commands; ZWS can create self-signedcertificates in a single mouse click. Creating Certificate Signing Requests(CSR) for external CAs is just as easy. In fact, through our partnership withVerisign you can purchase certificates directly through the managementGUI.
