Intel the world's largest semiconductor chip maker. We develop advanced integrated digital technology, primarily integrated circuits, for industries such as computing and communications. Integrated circuits are semiconductor chips etched with interconnected electronic switches. We also develop computing platforms, which we define as integrated hardware and software computing technologies that are designed to provide an optimized solution. Our goal is to be the preeminent computing solutions company that powers the worldwide digital economy. We are transforming from a company with a primary focus on the design and manufacture of semiconductor chips for PCs and servers to a computing company that delivers complete solutions in the form of hardware and software platforms and supporting services.

Internet threats are widely varied and multi-layered. As these threats evolve, organizations find that traditional firewalls lack the intelligence and the scalability needed to stay effective and responsive under DDoS and a whole range of other sophisticated attacks. The result is a failure to protect the business from loss of critical Internet data center services.
 
 
F5 offers a native, high performance firewall solution that protects the entire infrastructure and scales to perform under the most demanding conditions. F5 provides the intelligence and flexibility you need to stay secure in the ever-changing and increasingly threatening landscape. You get a common platform to deliver applications and significantly improve responsiveness to rapidly evolving threats.
 
 
In addition, F5 provides a flexible, certified web application firewall and comprehensive, policy-based web application security to address emerging threats at the application level. This combination significantly reduces the risk of damage to intellectual property, data, and web applications. With F5, you get a complete application protection solution on a certified network firewall platform that eliminates the need for multiple appliances. This lowers maintenance and management costs, and increases the confidentiality, availability, and integrity of your applications, network, and processes. F5 brings together the network, applications, data, and users under a single security strategy that traditional firewalls and point solutions don’t offer.

Data Mining a Mountain of Zero Day Vulnerabilities

Every day, software developers around the world, from Bangalore to Silicon Valley, churn out millions of lines of insecure code. We used static binary analysis on thousands of applications submitted to us by large enterprises, commercial software vendors, open source projects, and software outsourcers, to create an anonymized vulnerability data set. By mining this data we can answer some interesting questions.

Which industries have the most secure and least secure code? What types of mistakes do developers make most often? Which languages and platforms have the apps with the most vulnerabilities? Should you be most worried of internally built apps, open source, commercial software, or outsourcers? These questions and many more will be answered as we tunnel through zero day mountain.
