TechWeb: Linux Suppliers Focus On Improved Security [via Tripwire]

“Three leading suppliers of Linuxsystems — Caldera, Red Hat,
and SGI — said they will integrate Tripwire’s intrusion detection
and prevention software into their offerings.”

“Tripwire detects intruders or unauthorized changes made to a
system’s key files and directories. It then notifies users when
intrusions occur on important systems.”

“Developed at Purdue University eight years ago, the software

HP-UX, SGI’s Irix, Compaq’s Tru64 Unix, and Windows NT.”

“The alliances with the three Linux vendors will help drive
security further into the operating system.”
