NETECT was chosen for its expertise in anti-hacker software technology, a market niche that is becoming increasingly more important as the volume of internal and external cyberthreats continue to increase. NETECT's HackerShield(TM), the first deliverable of its Anti-Hacker Suite(TM), is an easy to use software solution that finds and closes security holes that hackers can use to break into servers. As an active member of the Microsoft Security Partners Program, NETECT will provide customers with the products and information they need to establish, test and maintain effective information security for their computing infrastructure. "Microsoft is pleased to include NETECT's anti- hacker technology to our network security initiative," said Karan Khanna, Windows NT Security product manager at Microsoft Corp. "This program will help our mutual customers develop and deploy secure solutions built on the Windows NT platform." For system administrators who need to ensure their company's assets are protected from hackers, HackerShield, the first product in the Anti-Hacker Suite, can easily find and close the holes that hackers use to break into servers. Differentiating itself from other security products that erect barriers on the network, HackerShield fortifies each server by continuously identifying and repairing the holes that exist on them. "Our participation in the Microsoft's Security Partners Program is a strong validation for the importance of easy to use anti-hacking solutions," said Paul E. Blondin, president and CEO. "NETECT is committed to fulfilling a need for Windows NT-based anti-hacker software to virtually anyone regardless of background and IT experience."
