The two firms will jointly market and sell the Corillian Fraud Detection System with the Teros Web Application Firewall. The programs are designed to help organizations detect potential phishers accessing the web site and block attacks against web applications, which are not normally detected by firewalls and intrusion prevention systems.

Financial institutions and e-commerce sites are often targeted for weeks, and even months, by hackers, fraudsters and phishers before they are able to detect an attack, said Jim Maloney, chief security executive of Corillian. This combined solution provides early detection and blocking of phishing attacks before they occur and the necessary evidence to take down the fraudulent sites.

Corillian said its Fraud Detection System is a web log analysis platform and methodology that enables companies to identify phishing behaviors before they turn into attacks on the organization and its customers. Teros’ Web Application Firewall aims to defend against real time web attacks with a positive security model that only permits valid web traffic to interact with the banking applications.
