Any ideas on what this GTE Internetworking (formerly BBN corp) announcement means for ISS? --------------------------------- GTE Internetworking puts new spin on security services By Denise Pappalardo, Network World Fusion, 2/11/98 GTE Internetworking (formerly BBN Corp.) announced yesterday it is upgrading and expanding the reach of its Site Patrol managed firewall service. Site Patrol 4, GTE Internetworking's latest version of the service, can now be deployed at any customer's site regardless of whether they are a dedicated GTE Internetworking Internet access customer or get their dedicated services from another Internet service provider. Previously, Site Patrol was only available to GTE Internetworking customers. GTE Internetworking's managed firewall service can be monitored and managed 24x7 from GTE's Security Network Operations center in Boston. Using diagnostic tools developed in-house, GTE can classify security and connectivity trouble on its own network and any non-GTE ISP network. GTE Internetworking also announced support for Sun Microsystems' Sun Ultra workstations. Previous versions of Site Patrol only supported Intel's PC hardware platform. Sun Ultra is expected to better support higher bandwidth connectivity such as T-3 (45M bit/sec) Internet access, said a GTE Internetworking spokesman. Site Patrol 4 also supports V-One Corp.'s SmartGate client server security software. This enhancement supports encrypted dial-up sessions for Site Patrol customers that are on the road and want to dial in to their corporate network. Site Patrol 4 also is available in 52 countries through GTE Internetworking deal with ITS, a sister company of Equant, GTE Internetworking's global partner. Site Patrol 4 is available for a one time installation fee of $5,000 with reccurring monthly charges of $2,750. Site Patrol International also is available for a one time installation fee of $7,500 with reoccurring monthly charges of $3,750.
