Networks Releases Sybergen Mobile Workforce Solution to Secure
the Extended Enterprise
Fremont,
CALIF. -May 1, 2000- Sybergen
Networks™ today announced the release of the Sybergen Mobile
Workforce Solution, a product suite comprised of Sybergen
Management Server™ 1.0 and Sybergen Secure Desktop™ 2.1. The
suite of products integrates security and Internet access
management into one solution with centralized policy management.
Enterprise
IT organizations are realizing that mobile workers can endanger
the security of entire corporate networks. When mobile workers
are on the road outside the protection of the corporate firewall
and they access information from the Internet and other outside
resources, their systems are open to attack. With roughly
a third of corporate workers operating remotely, IT staffs
must take a more proactive approach to managing this group
of workers and the huge potential security threat that this
growing mobile workforce poses.
The Sybergen
Mobile Workforce Solution secures mobile workers’ computers
transparently while providing IT staffs with the ability to
establish, monitor and analyze mobile security policy. Sybergen
Secure Desktop is a local enforcement agent that resides on
each client system to monitor and prevent hacker attempts
when the system is connected to a network or the Internet.
Sybergen Management Server is the central control point for
IT staff to provision and monitor security policy from the
individual, group and company-wide perspective.
Enterprise
IT personnel can now gain control of mobile workforce security
without hampering their end users’ productivity. Sybergen
Networks is unique in its focus on creating software solutions
designed to address the specific Internet access and security
needs of the mobile workforce and extended enterprise,” commented
Chris Guo, founder and president, Sybergen Networks.
