Posturing and spindoctoring from NAI in the face of appearing behind the times. For those of you not aware, NAI purchased SNI which had it's superior Ballista scanning product. Once acquired, NAI dropped the Linux support from Ballista and moved to an exclusive Win* based product. Version 2.4 supported linux, yet 2.5 did not. And this announcement is 'news' why? And visiting ftp.nai.com /pub/antivirus/unix/linux reveals previous products supporting linux.] Forwarded From: darek milewski <darekmat_private> http://www.news.com/News/Item/0,4,32134,00.html Network Associates adds Linux product By Tim Clark Staff Writer, CNET News.com February 8, 1999, 2:50 p.m. PT Network Associates, which has focused almost exclusively on software for Windows NT, is adding a Linux version of its CyberCop Scanner tool for probing networks to detect security vulnerabilities. The company said security consultants and companies that test the security of networks have shown great interest in Linux-based security tools. For security audits, Network Associates said consultants preferred Linux over Sun Solaris by a ratio of about 50 to 1. "Network Associates responded to our security professionals' need to use CyberCop in conjunction with several Linux-based Ernst & Young proprietary security tools," George Kurtz, director of the Ernst & Young security profiling services, said in a statement. CyberCop Scanner is the first Network Associates' product on the Linux platform. --------------6C820351C5234373A2BD6A78-- -o- Subscribe: mail majordomoat_private with "subscribe isn".
