(Nasdaq:MEMCF), a leading provider of information security software, today announced SeOS 2.5 for Windows NT, the latest version of its robust access control and user account administration solution for Windows NT systems. SeOS 2.5 demonstrates MEMCO's continued commitment to providing solid security and simplified user management for the Microsoft Windows NT platform. SeOS 2.5 for Windows NT is being demonstrated at the Computer Security Institute (CSI) 25th Annual Security Conference this week. SeOS for Windows NT is the first and only security solution that empowers systems and security personnel to manage the native Windows NT administrative account. Protecting powerful privileged accounts with SeOS prevents hackers from using the latest tools to get unlimited access to systems. By integrating with and enhancing Windows NT's built-in security features, SeOS delivers unprecedented reliability and performance. With SeOS for Windows NT in place, all file and resource access requests -- including those of the administrative account -- require authorization from SeOS prior to execution. "Our customers are realizing that doing business over the Internet with their clients, suppliers, partners and consultants bring strategic advantages, but may often give these third parties access to sensitive data systems inside the firewall," said Lawrence Lakis, senior product marketing manager, MEMCO Software. "With our newest version of SeOS for Windows NT, companies can now enjoy the benefits of e-business without the threat of granting unnecessary access to the public and third-parties." SeOS for Windows NT supports Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 and will be available November 15, 1998. Functionality in SeOS 2.5 includes: 1) Out-of-the-box-security -- SeOS 2.5 Includes a set of predefined security settings designed to protect nearly every Windows NT server from many common attacks, especially those which take advantage of the native administrator's unrestricted access. 2) Administrator account management -- Version 2.5's revolutionary underlying technology protects against even the most sophisticated hackers. SeOS is the world's first and only solution to add an additional authorization process to all users' access requests, regardless of native administrative privilege. 3) Registry security -- SeOS 2.5 protects the Windows NT Registry which stores the list of users and their privileges, as well as machine configurations. Hackers often pinpoint this as their area of attack. 4) Cost of Ownership savings -- Because SeOS 2.5 is able to guard against modifications of the Registry, a standard system can be deployed without the risk of erroneous reconfigurations requiring a call to the help desk. 5) Intuitive GUI -- SeOS 2.5 includes the Security Administrator interface, which enables users to manage security configuration on every SeOS-protected machine in the environment, regardless of whether it is running Windows NT or any supported Unix flavor.
