Forwarded From: "Spencer, Will" <wspencerat_private> ISS partners with SinglePoint for real time "security hotline"` SAN FRANCISCO (Sept. 10) BUSINESS WIRE -Sept. 9, 1998--Today at COMDEX Enterprise, Internet Security Systems (Nasdaq: ISSX), the leading provider of adaptive network security solutions, announced it is joining forces with Singlepoint Systems, a premier provider of automatic notification products. This relationship teams ISS' intrusion detection and response system, RealSecure(tm), with Singlepoints' automatic notification product, AlarmPoint, creating the first security solution that has the ability to automatically notify, via telephone, a specified list of contacts anywhere, anytime of a security breach. "This robust technology combination brings together the leading intrusion detection system with the most advanced contact notification product to deliver a new, industry-unique option for immediate and effective responses to security incidents," said ISS Vice President of Product Management, Nancy Blair. "As the pioneer in adaptive network security, ISS continues to raise the bar in intrusion detection and meet customer needs for advanced security response capabilities and effective information protection." RealSecure, the industry's leading real-time intrusion detection software, protects information around-the-clock by monitoring network traffic and automatically detecting and responding to potentially damaging security breaches and internal threats. In addition to responding via pager and email alarms, RealSecure will be able to work with Singlepoint Systems' technology to offer another option for fast, fault resilient telephone responses to security breaches. When RealSecure detects an attack, AlarmPoint will automatically place a phone call to notify designated parties of the security incident. AlarmPoint instructs the receiver on the type, severity and time of the attack and the action taken by RealSecure. If the first person on the incident response team is not reached, AlarmPoint will automatically continue to call a specified list of key security contacts until a successful connection has been made. "AlarmPoint's ability to customize phone notification based on specific events is a perfect fit for ISS' RealSecure software, providing customers with another means for taking immediate action either onsite or remotely to recognized security threats," said Desi DosSantos, vice president of Research & Develop at Singlepoint Systems, Inc. Pricing and Availability The Singlepoint and ISS products are available today. RealSecure carries an U.S. suggested list price of $8,995 for a single perpetual license. AlarmPoint Base Edition pricing begins at $5,596. For more information, users should contact Singlepoint Systems at 888-221-0760. About Singlepoint Systems Inc.
