''We are pleased to work with TIS on their initiative to develop innovations in active security.
TIS' newly acquired intrusion and misuse detection technology, combined with support for our
Secure Access Firewall, provides unbeatable protection for enabling secure enterprise-wide
networking,'' commented Dave Dawson, general manger for Ascend's network security
business unit. ''As we continue to embrace IPSec as the encryption standard for establishing
cross-vendor VPNs, TIS has a leg-up by ensuring that their Gauntlet VPN products
interoperate with the high-end solutions that customers are seeking.''
''The collaborative work evidenced by these two companies is essential as organizations
search for solutions that reach beyond the firewall,'' said Hans Von Braun, senior associate
with Creative Strategies Research Intl., based in San Francisco. ''By addressing the
important issues of active security and support for encryption standards, Ascend and TIS are
moving toward providing a more complete solution for tackling the multitude of security issues
facing the networked environment today.''
