ENDFORCE Announces Technology Partnership With RSA Security

ENDFORCE Enterprise awarded RSA SecurID® certification, creating interoperability with RSA SecurID® two-factor authentication

Booth 1503, CSI Conference, WASHINGTON, Nov. 8, 2004 - ENDFORCE, the leading choice for interoperable endpoint security, today announced it has completed the certification process and has been accepted into the RSA Secured® Partner Program. Specifically, ENDFORCE's flagship ENDFORCE Enterprise software has been awarded RSA SecurID® Ready certification, creating interoperability between ENDFORCE Enterprise and RSA SecurID® two-factor authentication technology.

"Over the past several years, RSA Security has become the leader in enterprise-class, secure two factor authentication. We are thrilled to achieve RSA Secured certification for integrating our compliance enforcement agent with RSA SecurID authentication software. This is a key element in our overall strategy of providing rock-solid endpoint compliance enforcement with built-in support for best-in-class security applications, operating systems and authentication technologies," said ENDFORCE Senior Vice President of Business Development and Marketing Dennis Brouwer. "We look forward to delivering the benefits of this interoperability to our joint customer base, and to serve as a valued member of the RSA Secured Partner Program."

ENDFORCE Enterprise protects organizations by providing proactive enforcement of security policies for network endpoints across both LAN and WAN infrastructure for a broad range of operating systems and security applications from industry leaders including Symantec, McAfee, Trend Micro, Juniper, Cisco, Nortel, Checkpoint, Microsoft and others. Prior to authentication, ENDFORCE Enterprise detects unsecured endpoints and prevents them from accessing corporate resources, ensuring that potential vulnerabilities are quarantined, and that the enterprise network is protected until the compromised endpoint is brought into compliance.

"ENDFORCE offers a unique solution to customers," said Stuart Cohen, director of partner development at RSA Security. "This technology partnership between ENDFORCE and RSA Security helps end users balance user conveniences, like Endpoint Security, with the security required to create a trusted on-line environment."
