Neoteris to Integrate VeriSign Digital Trust Services Into Industry Leading
Instant Virtual Extranet Appliances
SAN JOSE, Calif., Feb. 19 /PRNewswire/ -- RSA Conference 2002, Neoteris
Booth #1647, VeriSign Booth #615 -- Neoteris, the industry leader in the
emerging instant virtual extranet (IVE) category of products, today announced
it is teaming with VeriSign, Inc. (Nasdaq: VRSN), the leading provider of
digital trust services, to provide enterprise customers with a secure solution
for accessing Web-based and other applications.
As part of the collaboration between the two companies, Neoteris will
integrate VeriSign's managed public key infrastructure (PKI) services with its
IVE devices, allowing secure, authenticated user access to enterprise
applications from virtually any Internet-enabled device. The companies have
also agreed to cooperatively market and sell Neoteris' IVE products and
VeriSign's Managed PKI Services as a bundled solution. Neoteris has certified
VeriSign's solutions as interoperable with its IVE products, which deliver
revolutionary value to corporate customers by reducing the cost, complexity
and security risks associated with traditional access technologies.
Neoteris is among the first Web Services vendors to support VeriSign's
Digital Trust Services framework (announced today), an open standards-based
approach providing seamless interfaces to VeriSign's digital identity and
addressing, authentication and authorization, and trusted transaction
services.
"Secure Web-enabled access is truly a killer app for enterprises looking
to reap productivity gains from Web Services," said Anil Pereira, senior vice
president and group general manager of VeriSign's enterprise and service
provider division. "Combining Neoteris' state-of-the-art IVE appliance with
VeriSign's Digital Trust Services will provide enterprises with solutions they
need for anytime, anywhere access to trusted business applications."
VeriSign's Digital Trust Services framework is designed to enable trusted
Web Services and other high-value e-Business applications. The open approach,
supported by a wide range of leading platform and service providers, makes
VeriSign's broad range of digital trust services more accessible through
platform integration, standards-based application programming interfaces
(APIs), developer tools, and a service provider platform for systems
integrators, value-added resellers and large-scale service providers.
Through the alliance, VeriSign will provide implementation and deployment
expertise for Neoteris through its Consulting Services organization, which
offers IT and security consulting and implementation services to help
enterprises identify, design and implement secure network solutions.
"We are pleased to team with VeriSign to bring value to enterprise
customers through this far-reaching collaboration," said Neoteris CEO
Krishna "Kittu" Kolluri. "This new relationship will provide both Neoteris and
VeriSign customers with a powerful combination of security products and
world-class consulting and implementation services."
Neoteris is joining VeriSign in its Partner Pavilion in Booth No. 615 at
this week's RSA Conference 2002 in San Jose, Calif. Neoteris also is
exhibiting products in its own Booth No. 1647.
Neoteris IVE Secure Access Appliances
Neoteris' products deliver instant secure access to corporate network
resources, while reducing the cost, complexity and security risks associated
with traditional access technologies. Neoteris' IVE appliances include the
EmployeeAccess(TM) and PartnerAccess(TM) product lines. The EmployeeAccess
product line provides secure access to corporate resources for remote, mobile
or telecommuting workers. PartnerAccess offers a superset of that
functionality, enabling corporations to centrally manage access control
policies for groups of partner users. These unique IVE products have been
implemented as security appliances, enabling customers to quickly deploy
secure access to corporate resources in a matter of hours. The Neoteris IVE
products do not require client-side software or hardware, nor changes to
existing LAN infrastructure, greatly reducing total cost of ownership and
deployment time. The products have passed stringent security audit evaluations
by TruSecure Corporation, Cryptography Research, Inc., and security and
forensic computing expert Dan Farmer, validating the products for delivering
effective secure remote access and providing enterprises with a powerful
solution to combat unauthorized access to their networks.
