HP Introduces Software, Services and Alliances to Help Businesses Provide Secure e-Commerce
SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 9, 2001--Hewlett-Packard
Company (NYSE:HWP) today announced enhancements to the HP Netaction
software suite for security software, services and alliances to help
businesses secure their e-commerce environments, prevent intrusions
and protect against attacks in real-time.
``To fulfill today's Web security requirements, businesses need
cross-platform solutions that are flexible, integrated and easily
deployed,'' said Roberto Medrano, general manager, HP Internet Security
Solutions Division. ``With the software and services announced today,
HP continues to lead the market in securing and protecting enterprise
infrastructures.''
HP announced the following security products, services and
alliances as part of the HP Netaction software family:
- HP Virtualvault 4.5, a newly enhanced version of HP's
multi-layered, secure operating system, now integrates
Apache-based Web servers and provides integration with the HP
Bluestone Total-e-server and Public Key Infrastructure (PKI).
HP Virtualvault is used worldwide for intrusion prevention,
real-time attack protection and secure access. HP Virtualvault
4.5 delivers security for wireless applications that are
integrated with Nokia and 724 wireless gateways.
- HP Webproxy 2.0 simplifies HP Virtualvault implementation and
extends its proven technology by providing secure, low-cost,
front-end protection to Web servers running a variety of
different platforms, including Windows®, UNIX® and Linux
platforms. HP Webproxy 2.0 is particularly designed for
Apache-based Web servers.
- HP Webproxy Express Service further simplifies implementation
and integration of HP Virtualvault and HP Webproxy by
delivering a fast, complete, fixed-price implementation of HP
Webproxy.
- Announced through the HP Virtualvault Integrated Solution
Alliance Program are two new alliances for globally supported,
integrated technology solutions: one with Baltimore
SelectAccess, for access control, and the other with 724
Wireless Internet Platform, for secure mobile access.
- Baltimore UniCERT provides a highly secure PKI solution that
deploys on and integrates with HP-UX.
- HP Extranet VPN for HP-UX, enabled by AppGate 3.3 software,
secures client-to-server IP traffic with strong encryption --
providing privacy and data integrity -- with no changes to the
existing network. It is highly scalable, allowing thousands of
simultaneous users to have access to a secure server.
- HP e-Security Readiness Consulting Service from HP Consulting
provides a fast and easy way to make security investment
decisions and plan for the security needed to support
e-strategies.
- HP IP Filter is a system firewall that protects HP 9000
systems by examining the small message packages engineered to
conserve bandwidth on the Internet, known as IP packets,
before granting access to the server. IP packets are granted
or denied access to or from the system based on inspection and
sophisticated packet-filtering rules.
