SEOS 2.5 FOR WINDOWS NT DEMOS AT CSI SECURITY CONFERENCE

Software Enhances Security and Simplifies
User Administration of Windows NT Systems
CSI 25th Annual Security Conference
CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 2, 1998--MEMCO Software, Inc.
(Nasdaq:MEMCF), a leading provider of information security software, today
announced SeOS 2.5 for Windows NT, the latest version of its robust access
control and user account administration solution for Windows NT systems.
SeOS 2.5 demonstrates MEMCO's continued commitment to providing solid
security and simplified user management for the Microsoft Windows NT
platform. SeOS 2.5 for Windows NT is being demonstrated at the Computer
Security Institute (CSI) 25th Annual Security Conference this week.
SeOS for Windows NT is the first and only security solution that empowers
systems and security personnel to manage the native Windows NT
administrative account. Protecting powerful privileged accounts with SeOS
prevents hackers from using the latest tools to get unlimited access to
systems. By integrating with and enhancing Windows NT's built-in security
features, SeOS delivers unprecedented reliability and performance. With
SeOS for Windows NT in place, all
file and resource access requests -- including those of the administrative
account -- require authorization from SeOS prior to execution.
"Our customers are realizing that doing business over the Internet with
their clients, suppliers, partners and consultants bring strategic
advantages, but may often give these third parties access to sensitive
data systems inside the firewall," said Lawrence Lakis, senior product
marketing manager, MEMCO Software. "With our newest version of SeOS for
Windows NT, companies can now enjoy the benefits of e-business without the
threat of granting unnecessary access to the public and third-parties."
SeOS for Windows NT supports Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 and will be
available November 15, 1998. Functionality in SeOS 2.5 includes:
1) Out-of-the-box-security -- SeOS 2.5 Includes a set of predefined
security settings designed to protect nearly every Windows NT server from
many common attacks, especially those which take advantage of the native
administrator's unrestricted access.
2) Administrator account management -- Version 2.5's revolutionary
underlying technology protects against even the most sophisticated
hackers. SeOS is the world's first and only solution to add an additional
authorization process to all users' access requests, regardless of native
administrative privilege.
3) Registry security -- SeOS 2.5 protects the Windows NT Registry which
stores the list of users and their privileges, as well as machine
configurations. Hackers often pinpoint this as their area of attack.
4) Cost of Ownership savings -- Because SeOS 2.5 is able to guard against
modifications of the Registry, a standard system can be deployed without
the risk of erroneous reconfigurations requiring a call to the help desk.
5) Intuitive GUI -- SeOS 2.5 includes the Security Administrator
interface, which enables users to manage security configuration on every
SeOS-protected machine in the environment, regardless of whether it is
running Windows NT or any supported Unix flavor.
