Recent security breaches involving universities, credit card processors, and financial institutions are making security a
hot topic, and security companies are busy upgrading their product lines -- either by acquiring new product lines or upgrading
current products.
Computer Associates on Monday announced the acquisition of Tiny Software, a privately held developer of firewall technology
for Windows desktops and servers, to strengthen its hand in the fast-moving computer security market. The acquisition adds
new firewall technology to CA's line of security software. CA will continue to market Tiny Software products as stand-alone
offerings, but will also incorporate the line into its eTrust Integrated Threat Management software line later this year.
Meanwhile, Newbury Networks this week introduced an expanded version of its WiFi Watchdog product. WiFi Watchdog 5.0 uses
location technology for intrusion prevention, rogue containment, client protection, and intrusion detection for Wireless LANs
(WLANs).
The new version has expanded threat assessment capabilities, new graphical alert reports, automated client protection and
containment features, and behavior-based access controls.
WiFi Watchdog 5.0 will be commercially available in September. WiFi Watchdog 5.0 works with WLAN infrastructure solutions
from companies such as Cisco Systems, Nortel Networks, and Symbol Technologies. Prices start at $14,995.
Also releasing a new version of its security software this week is Secure Software. Secure is releasing CodeAssure 2.0, which
now includes CodeAssure Management Center.
CodeAssure Management Center offers reporting, analysis, administration, and policy-management capabilities designed to provide
executives, project managers, and security administrators with information on project performance and policy compliance.
The CodeAssure 2.0 product suite includes CodeAssure Management Center, CodeAssure Workbench for source code analysis, and
CodeAssure Integrator for integrating security testing with existing quality assurance tools and processes.
CodeAssure 2.0 is available immediately and starts at $48,000 for a 10-developer deployment.
