2009-09-21 16:49:53 - More than six hundred Russian hackers prove to be no match for Bitrix's Content Management System Proactive Protection system in a software security competition. The competition was organized during the "Chaos Constructions CC9 Festival" that took place on 29-30 August 2009 in Saint Petersburg, Russia. The competition demonstrates Bitrix's Proactive Protection System in action.

Garrison, NY -- September 21, 2009 -- What happens when you openly allow 600 hackers attempt to conquer a server-installed content management software? Nothing, and that's a good thing. This is exactly what happened during the recent "Chaos Constructions CC9 Festival" that took place in Saint Petersburg, Russia. The competition was organized by Bitrix, Inc., which specializes content management system and intranet portal solutions development, to demonstrate the security of its Proactive Protection System.

Held in conjunction with IT experts from Positive Technologies, a reputable web security specialty company based in Russia, the experiment managed to thwart 25, 000 hack attacks over the two days, even though it had been made more "vulnerable" prior to the competition. This rather unorthodox

"focus group" session allowed Bitrix to analyze common developer mistakes and demonstrated the effectiveness of their software security modules.

This makes Aurora IT even happier with its Bitrix collaboration. Aurora IT, a medical website design company based in Garrison, New York, is a Certified Gold Bitrix partner. This distinction represents the highest level of commitment to Bitrix and their family of products. As a Certified Gold Partner, Aurora uses Bitrix Site Manager software in the creation of their client's content management systems, offering the highest level of functionality and security.

Since the majority of Aurora's clients are in the healthcare industry, security is of utmost importance. Bitrix's Proactive Protection System assures users that sensitive and private information remains as such. Data such as medical records, billing and identity information (i.e., Social Security numbers) are practically hack-proof with this security system module.

Information security and privacy are a part of Aurora's philosophy. Aurora's client websites are already HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) compliant, adhering to national standards for electronic health care transactions. "Site owners who want a content management system with the latest in security and innovation should look no further than Aurora," states CEO Daniel Gilbert. Because of Aurora's long and continuing association with Bitrix, clients will not only get a functional, appealing and secure site, but they will also reap the benefits of Bitrix's constant developments and modifications for even higher levels of security and reliability.

The Proactive Protection security system is included with Bitrix Site Manager software. The module appears in both the Bitrix Intranet Portal v8.0 software and in the Bitrix Site Manager v8.0 and higher (starting from the Standard Edition).
