“Solsoft uses data from routers to facilitate access to
systems

At the same time networks are bringing companies closer
together, network security concerns are actually pushing them
apart. But the folks at start-up Solsoft Inc. think their internal
policy-based security management systems could bridge that
gap.”

“Solsoft… Net Partitioner… [is a] Java-based policy engine
that lets you define and apply data and application access lists
strategically, as business processes and organizations demand,
rather than at the application or network device level. The product
doesn’t replace a router/firewall security combination but uses
those tools as another internal line of defense.”

“The product works with Windows, AIX, Linux,
Solaris and HP-UX operating systems and supports most commonly used
routers and network filtering devices.”
