Press Release - Europe Internet Security Services
COMPREHENSIVE INTERNET SECURITY SERVICES ANNOUNCED BY DIGITAL EQUIPMENT
CORPORATION
GENEVA, SWITZERLAND (May 2, 1994) --- Digital Equipment Corporation
today announced comprehensive Internet Security Services to help make
private computer networks and databases more secure from intrusion from
the Internet.
Provided by Digital Consulting, a business unit of Digital, these
Internet Security Services combine expert security consulting and
software capabilities to deliver a protected and programmable
"firewall" through a screened intelligent gateway that guards private
networks, while giving users controlled links and access to the
Internet and other networks.
"These comprehensive security services are designed to allow our
clients to tap the power of the Internet without allowing unwanted
guests to tap into their business," said Robert McNulty, Digital's
Chief Information Officer and Vice President of Digital Consulting's
Operations Management Services.
These services provide reliable connectivity and a high degree of
security between trusted private networks and the Internet or other
potentially hostile TCP/IP networks. These services can also be used to
protect sensitive areas of internal networks.
Internet Security Services provide secured connections to and from the
Internet through a number of "application gateways" to support popular
applications like electronic mail, file transfer (FTP and Archie),
remote terminal access (Telnet), client/server information services
(Gopher, or World-Wide Web), and notes conferences. These services also
support access to the World-Wide Web through trusted Mosaic browsers.
Digital's Internet Security Services include:
* SEAL (Screening External Access Link) - a combination of custom
security consulting, installation and configuration of customized
software, training in all facets of SEAL's operation, and
post-delivery telephone support.
* Optional components and consulting which include: Internet security
policy development and rules definitions, additional customized
application gateways; configuration of public domain software;
cryptographic and authentication capabilities; and computer and
network security consulting.
In unveiling the new security services, McNulty said "the critical need
for comprehensive security has become an ever-growing concern of major
businesses around the globe - particularly as millions of new users
seek data on the Internet and other information super-highways.
"Those businesses and organizations need to feel confident that they
have the best protection available from the networks and systems to
which they seek connections.
"Digital's Internet Security Services, customized to each client's
needs, are cost-effective, and embody the capabilities required to
provide the level of confidence and security clients seek," McNulty
added.
SEAL's customized software provides the best detection available today
to unauthorized connections between a user's private network and the
Internet.
Digital's tested Internet Security Services deliver real-world benefits
like high-level security, reliable connectivity, detection of
unauthorized network probing, enhanced auditing, and on-line support.
"Internet security is not new to Digital," McNulty also noted. "These
services are the result of more than a decade of our research and
practical use of the Internet. They have been extensively used to
secure Digital's own Internet connections, and have already been
delivered to major multi-national corporations and organizations.
"It is very common for Internet users to have no security through a
direct connection to the Internet, or some security which can be
provided by routers," McNulty noted. "But, ultimately, users need the
high level of security and connectivity provided by a 'programmable'
firewall coupled with a screened intelligent gateway which is available
today through Digital's SEAL."
Internet Security Services are available immediately in the United
States, Canada, Latin America and Europe, and will be available in Asia
later this calendar year. These services are part of an extensive
Digital portfolio of security products and services designed to secure
clients' business and computing environments.
