Fast Facts

Mykonos is the smartest way to secure Websites and Web applications against hackers, fraud and theft. Its Web Intrusion Prevention System (WIPS) uses deception to detect, track, profile and prevent hackers in real-time. Unlike legacy signature-based approaches, Mykonos is the first technology that inserts thousands of detection points to proactively identify attackers before they do damage – without any false positives. Mykonos goes beyond the IP address to track the individual attacker, profile their behavior and deploy counter measures. With the Mykonos Security Appliance, administrators are liberated from writing rules, analyzing massive log files or monitoring another console. Mykonos neutralizes threats as they occur preventing the loss of data and saving companies millions of dollars from fraud or lost revenue.

Origin of the Logo

The logo is a butterfly's wings flapping. It is based on the idea in Chaos Theory of the Butterfly Effect: that the flapping of a butterfly's wings on one side of the world can cause a hurricane on the other. This reflects our mission of helping developers and security administrators secure code - one Web application at a time.
