“Solsoft, Inc., the leading provider of policy management for
e-Business security, today announced the availability of Solsoft
NSM, its globally recognized UNIXO proxy firewall, for the Open
Source community. Solsoft NSM, one of the leading proxy firewalls
on the market today, offers a high level of precision and security
with identification, authentication and content filtering. For
additional information, visit www.solsoft.org.”

“Today’s e-businesses are based on robust networks; networks
that must maintain air-tight security. To facilitate the growth of
the e-business economy, we believe the fundamental building blocks
for security should be made widely available,” explained Vic
Langford, CEO and president of Solsoft. “By making our leading
proxy firewall freely available to the Open Source movement, where
anybody can use it and develop it further, we are promoting a key
element necessary for secure e-Business.”

“In a related announcement issued last week (see “Solsoft
Delivers FREE Version of Security Management Solution for Linux,”
dated July 5) Solsoft announced immediate availability of Solsoft
NP-Lite, a free security management solution for the Linux
community. Solsoft NSM and Solsoft NP-Lite provide complementary
security management solutions for the UNIX and Linux communities.
Solsoft NSM supports firewalls that run on UNIX (including
Linux) and Solsoft NP-Lite offers security management for Linux
environments. These two products give Linux users in both large and
small organizations one of the best security management solutions
available today – all for free.
