NETECT SELECTED AS A MICROSOFT SECURITY PARTNER
(PR Newswire; 08/31/98)
BOSTON, Aug. 31 /PRNewswire/ -- NETECT Inc., provider of anti-hacker
software solutions, today announced a strategic relationship with
Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT) to play an active role in its Security Partners
Program. NETECT was chosen for its expertise in anti-hacker software
technology, a market niche that is becoming increasingly more important as
the volume of internal and external cyberthreats continue to increase.
NETECT's HackerShield(TM), the first deliverable of its Anti-Hacker
Suite(TM), is an easy to use software solution that finds and closes
security holes that hackers can use to break into servers.
As an active member of the Microsoft Security Partners Program, NETECT
will provide customers with the products and information they need to
establish, test and maintain effective information security for their
computing infrastructure. "Microsoft is pleased to include NETECT's anti-
hacker technology to our network security initiative," said Karan Khanna,
Windows NT Security product manager at Microsoft Corp. "This program will
help our mutual customers develop and deploy secure solutions built on the
Windows NT platform."
For system administrators who need to ensure their company's assets are
protected from hackers, HackerShield, the first product in the Anti-Hacker
Suite, can easily find and close the holes that hackers use to break into
servers. Differentiating itself from other security products that erect
barriers on the network, HackerShield fortifies each server by
continuously identifying and repairing the holes that exist on them.
"Our participation in the Microsoft's Security Partners Program is a
strong validation for the importance of easy to use anti-hacking
solutions," said Paul E. Blondin, president and CEO. "NETECT is
committed to fulfilling a need for Windows NT-based anti-hacker software
to virtually anyone regardless of background and IT experience."
NETECT was established in 1996 with the mission of providing a secure
computing environment where all users are protected against threats to
confidentiality, integrity and availability of information. Privately
held, NETECT provides the mass technical audience with anti-hacker
software aimed at reducing the risk of network intrusions from both
internal and external sources. Additional information about NETECT is
