Digitivity Joins TIS' Gauntlet Advantage Plus -- A+ -- Partner Program to
Create One-Stop Shop for Total Network Security
NEW YORK (Dec. 9) BUSINESS WIRE -Dec. 9, 1997--
Digitivity's Patented Architecture Expands the Functionality of
Gauntlet Firewalls with the Ability to Securely
Deploy and Manage Java Applets over Networks
Digitivity, Inc. and Trusted Information Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: TISX)
today announced that Digitivity has joined TIS' Guantlet(R) Advantage
Plus (A+) Partner Program.
The partnership brings together the first and only provider of
solutions for the secure deployment and management of Java applets over
networks, with a leading provider of comprehensive security solutions
for protection of computer networks, to give corporate customers a
one-stop shop for total network security.
According to the agreement, TIS has certified Digitivity's CAGE, the
inaugural product in Digitivity's Applet Management System(TM) --
ensuring interoperability with Gauntlet network security products and
compatibility with a variety of select third-party products.
The agreement also entails a value-added reseller (VAR) arrangement,
whereby TIS' worldwide network of resellers and direct sales force will
sell, install and support Digitivity's Applet Management System. The
intent of the agreement is to make it easier for customers to evaluate
and purchase security solutions that are proven to work.
"This is a great relationship for both companies," said Scott Metcalf,
CEO of Digitivity, Inc. "TIS is strong in worldwide channel marketing
and -- because its Gauntlet firewall software is renowned for the
strength of the security it provides -- has built a substantial
installed base. Those are big pluses for us, as a relatively new
company bringing leading-edge technology into the market."
"We're pleased that Digitivity has become part of the rapidly growing
Gauntlet A+ Partner Program. We are looking forward to working closely
with them to provide our customers with this innovative Java management
solution," said James Ishikawa, TIS' Director of Product Management.
"TIS is committed to providing customers with Multi-Dimensional
Security for enabling and protecting all levels of their networked
environment. With Gauntlet A+ Solutions like Digitivity's CAGE,
network administrators can look to TIS for one-stop Java security that
spans beyond the firewall."
The Digitivity CAGE will also be demonstrated in the TIS booth at Fall
Internet World in New York the week of December 8, 1997.
When: December 10-12
Where: Jacob Javits Center - New York, NY
Booth No. 2067
About Digitivity's Applet Management System
The Applet Management System is a suite of products that maximizes the
benefits of using Java business applications and Web services while
minimizing the risks. The first product, the CAGE, is an Internet
solution that enables companies to fully exploit the power of Java
without risking the integrity of their corporate networks.
It does this by executing applets outside the corporate firewall in a
bastion server, or CAGE, and substituting "proxy" applets which users
interact with on their desktops. The CAGE fully supports Sun
Microsystems JavaStation(TM) Network Computer and is Java-Compatible
certified.
The Applet Management System will also include an intranet solution
that enables companies to efficiently deploy Java applications through
automated applet management based on organizational policies and
fine-grained access controls; and an extranet solution that allows
secure dynamic, interactive transactions between companies and their
customers and business partners. About the Gauntlet Advantage Plus
(A+) Partner Program

than the perimeter defense a firewall helps to establish, TIS developed
