Award-winning secure operating platform combines ease of management
with unsurpassed security as a primary focus.
ALLENDALE, NJ-February 9, 2004 -- Guardian
Digital, Inc., the world's premier open source security company,
announced an update to the next generation, award-winning platform that
delivers features designed to ease the process of building a complete
Internet presence and the level of security necessary to prevent system
compromise. EnGarde Secure Linux leverages the best open source applications
available to provide secure Internet connectivity, user privacy, Web
and email functions, and intrusion detection.
"The proactive security improvements inherent into its
design are one of the primary factors in the success of EnGarde," writes
Pete O'Hara, vice president of engineering at Guardian Digital. "Coupled
with the most sophisticated open source Web-based management system,
EnGarde consistently protects users from even debilitating kernel security
vulnerabilities where other Linux vendors fail."
EnGarde features secure web-based management of all functions,
including Internet edge services (Web, DNS, email), integrated intrusion
detection, cryptography, improved authentication and access control,
as well as protection from many forms of intrusion such as buffer overruns
and denial of service attacks. Enhanced availability and access control
mechanisms delivers a potent combination suitable for the largest enterprise.
"Security management is an essential component of any
successful online operation. Mitigating security risks through the use
of a dynamic, rapidly-evolving development process bolstered by collaboration
of the open source community provides the most efficient form of protection,"
writes Paul Brisson, orthopedic spinal surgeon, New York Spinal Care. "EnGarde Secure Linux and its secure-by-design
approach combined
with the security benefits engineered by Guardian Digital offer the
best in proactive protection," continues Brisson.
