“MacMillan Publishing USA has entered into a strategic alliance
with SecurityPortal.com to bring online security technologies to
users of the Linux operating system (OS).”

The new product, Maximum Security Linux, will be
jointly-released to provide administrators who run Linux with
security-related capabilities such as intrusion detection, system
auditing and monitoring along with virus protection.

“The package suite will bundle a wide range of security software
made available through the GNU General Public License (GPL), and
will provide access to “best practices” FAQs, policy guides and
various security tips.”
