ISS partners with SinglePoint for real time "security hotline"`
SAN FRANCISCO (Sept. 10) BUSINESS WIRE -Sept. 9, 1998--Today at COMDEX
Enterprise, Internet Security Systems (Nasdaq: ISSX), the leading provider
of adaptive network security solutions, announced it is joining forces
with Singlepoint Systems, a premier provider of automatic notification
products.
This relationship teams ISS' intrusion detection and response system,
RealSecure(tm), with Singlepoints' automatic notification product,
AlarmPoint, creating the first security solution that has the ability to
automatically notify, via telephone, a specified list of contacts
anywhere, anytime of a security breach.
"This robust technology combination brings together the leading intrusion
detection system with the most advanced contact notification product to
deliver a new, industry-unique option for immediate and effective
responses to security incidents," said ISS Vice President of Product
Management, Nancy Blair. "As the pioneer in adaptive network security, ISS
continues to raise the bar in intrusion detection and meet customer needs
for advanced security response capabilities and effective information
protection."
RealSecure, the industry's leading real-time intrusion detection software,
protects information around-the-clock by monitoring network traffic and
automatically detecting and responding to potentially damaging security
breaches and internal threats. In addition to responding via pager and
email alarms, RealSecure will be able to work with Singlepoint Systems'
technology to offer another option for fast, fault resilient telephone
responses to security breaches. When RealSecure detects an attack,
AlarmPoint will automatically place a phone call to notify designated
parties of the security incident. AlarmPoint instructs the receiver on the
type, severity and time of the attack and the action taken by RealSecure.
If the first person on the incident response team is not reached,
AlarmPoint will automatically continue to call a specified list of key
security contacts until a successful connection has been made.
"AlarmPoint's ability to customize phone notification based on specific
events is a perfect fit for ISS' RealSecure software, providing customers
with another means for taking immediate action either onsite or remotely
to recognized security threats," said Desi DosSantos, vice president of
Research & Develop at Singlepoint Systems, Inc. Pricing and Availability
