Supporting the launch, Entegrity is stepping up its sales, marketing and support activities in the region through aggressive development of its AssurePartner™ programme. Entegrity Solutions is a leader in access management and application security software and services.

Entegrity’s Germanic operations support an established and growing install base in such industries as banking and insurance. “We have a large number of customers and 40 percent of our staff throughout Europe and we have aggressive targets for Europe over the next two years.” said Paula Palma vice president and managing director for European operations at Entegrity Solutions. “There are many innovative and successful businesses in the region that have recognised that access management is integral to the security of e-business. The launch of Entegrity AssureAccess 1.5, combined with the Entegrity AssurePartner programme means that these organisations can finally make e-business work in the way that suits them best.”

According to an IDC report published earlier this year, the worldwide revenue for the security 3As (authentication, authorization and administration) software market reached $2.8 billion in 2000, representing a 36% growth rate over 1999 revenue. According to IDC, this market will grow at a 28% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) and reach $7.7 billion by 2004.

Ray Stanton, director of e-security solutions at Entegrity's Global AssurePartner member, Unisys, commented; "European organisations are realising that the openness of the Internet and extended enterprises has created a whole new set of security challenges and opportunities. Not only do you have to protect data from hackers and ensure the integrity of your systems but organisations now need to manage and let in the 'good guys'. We are working with Entegrity as part of offering our customers a complete solution, combining Entegrity AssureAccess with Unisys' existing best of breed product offerings."

“Assure Access is definitely amongst the most complete solutions available in the market at the moment,” said Jose Manuel Lopez, research analyst, Frost & Sullivan. “With the release of its 1.5 version, Entegrity has substantially enhanced the capabilities of the product, adding new features that some of its competitors currently lack.”

Entegrity AssureAccess 1.5 provides fine-grained access management for secure e-business applications. Using it, organisations will be able to securely open applications up to customers, suppliers, partners and employees over the internet, whilst maintaining guaranteed levels of security. In addition, the flexibility of the product enables organisations to personalise the options available to different individuals, meaning that a visitor only sees information that is relevant to them. This is based on real-world business policies making it a practical and workable solution for IT departments.
