Leading Web Security Pioneers Team to Secure Sensitive Web-Facing
And Back-End Systems
SAN FRANCISCO, Moscone Convention Center, April 9 /PRNewswire/ -- At RSA
Conference 2001 today, Argus Systems Group, the global leader in Intrusion
Prevention Systems, announced a partnership with Sanctum, Inc., the
established leader in automated Web application control and security software,
and Protegrity Inc., the leading provider of privacy solutions that protect
database information, to offer joint customers an industrial strength solution
to secure their eBusiness, confidential data and back-end transaction systems
with the highest security available in the market.
PitBull, Argus's flagship product, is an intrusion prevention system
designed to deliver security where it is needed most -- within the operating
systems that control the most sensitive ebusiness servers. PitBull protects
critical servers from malicious attacks to steal proprietary information or
monetary assets, violate consumer privacy protections, and otherwise tamper
with system and data resources. While Sanctum's AppShield(TM) provides the
full autonomous online defense against any type of web application-level
attack, Protegrity's Secure.Data(TM) actively protects confidential
information within databases through its unique encryption technology.
Together the combined solution provides customers with true end-to-end
security protecting web-facing servers, web applications, and back-end
databases housing sensitive customer information.
"An unprotected Web server can be used as a portal into the organization's
mission-critical back-end systems," said Diane Fraiman, vice president of
marketing at Sanctum Inc. "Sanctum's AppShield(TM) is the first proactive
solution to protect Web sites by automatically detecting and blocking any type
of application manipulation through the browser. Through our partnership with
Argus and Protegrity, we have elevated Web security to the next level and
provide the strongest security framework in the market."
"Our clients require the most progressive and advanced security
solutions -- ones that will meet and exceed evolving business requirements and
increasingly sophisticated threats," said Peter Nilsson, senior vice president
and CIO of Protegrity, Inc. "Delivering our one-of-a-kind data-privacy
solution along with the complementary and leading technologies from Argus
Systems and Sanctum provides a first-rate, comprehensive solution for our
mutual customers."
"With these best-of-breed partners, we feel confident that together we are
delivering a security solution that is unprecedented and unique in the
marketplace," said Loren Warburg, vice president of strategic partner
development at Argus Systems. "Companies demand ever increasing levels of
security to protect all aspects of their ebusiness architecture. This
alliance is uniquely capable of offering these companies technically robust
and seamlessly interoperable solutions with world-class security expertise."
