InZero Defeats World's Hackers

In June, America's InZero Systems invited hackers all over the world to try to break through its system for protecting computers.

Since then, nearly 25 million hacking attempts have been made from every continent, and from over 100 of countries ranging from Russia, China and Brazil to India and Indonesia. Not one succeeded in breaking through to computers protected by InZero.

InZero called it the "Hackers Challenge."

"Nothing like this had ever been done before," explained InZero CEO and co-founder Louis R. Hughes (News - Alert), former president of Lockheed Martin and head of international operations for General Motors. "Hackers were given an unprecedented level of access to the protected computer. None could get through. The InZero system proved totally successful."

Hughes noted that the world's corporations are currently losing more than a trillion dollars a year due to cyber crime.

Business Week magazine recentl described InZero as "the world's most powerful weapon against cyber crime."

General Wesley Clark, former NATO Commander and Chairman of InZero's Advisory Board, said the hardware-based InZero system was a true technological breakthrough, "vitally important for the protection of the nation's cyber security and critical infrastructure."

Government agencies and major corporations around the world have been searching for a long time for this kind of solution, Clark said. "It has been thoroughly tested. It is available. And it is affordable."

In addition to the Hackers Challenge, InZero has been extensively tested by analysts and security experts in Europe and the United States, including the Pentagon's famous Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA).

InZero President Alexander Pyntikov noted that no other technology company in the world was capable of launching a similar Hackers Challenge. "All other existing solutions, no matter how expensive or well advertised, would have simply failed," he said. "They say that hackers can always find a way to get through. InZero has now demonstrated 25 million times that this is not true."
