NEW ENTEGRITY ACCESS MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE
Sharply Reduces The Cost and Time to Protect J2EE Applications
San Jose, CA - June 20, 2002 - Entegrity Solutions®,
a leader in application security, today announced the availability
of the next generation of AssureAccess®, the award-winning
access management software that protects Web and Java/J2EE-based
Web sites, portals, and Web services. AssureAccess allows application
developers deploying secure e-business solutions to easily include
authentication, single-sign-on, authorization, audit, user management
and security policy administration in their applications without
building custom security code for each application. AssureAccess
enables organizations to quickly deploy and update their security.
The benefits? More reliable security implementations. Shorter,
more predictable deployment schedules. And lower overall application
development costs.
"Until now, the integration of access management services
into applications running on Web servers and application servers
like BEA WebLogic was still a programmer and time-intensive
activity," said Dave Martin, Entegrity chairman, president,
and CEO. "However, with AssureAccess, Entegrity now offers
access management software that provides fine-grain access
management with little or no programming. This can mean big
savings in costs and deployment schedules, especially for
companies and system integrators that continually add and
enhance online applications. Application integration work
that previously took weeks can be performed in just hours."
BEA SSPI Support
"What distinguishes the Entegrity access management software
is its superior application integration capabilities,"
said Paul Patrick, security architect, BEA Systems, Inc. "AssureAccess
is 100% pure Java-based, comes with extensive capabilities
and is the first product to implement the BEA Security Services
Provider Interface (SSPI) introduced with BEA WebLogic Server
7.0. Entegrity is a leader in eliminating security-related
programming still required with access management products
from other vendors."
Ian Doyle, senior architect at BEA Systems Inc. (NASDAQ:
BEAS) commented,
"The BEA WebLogic Platform delivers high levels of scalability,
performance, and resilience to mission-critical enterprise
applications and we demand the same attributes from our partner
products. In AssureAccess 2.0, Entegrity Solutions provides
world-class enterprise-ready security, tightly integrated
with the BEA product sets."
Bridges.com and Burntsand
Bridges.com, the leading North American provider of career
information services, training, and self-directed career and
educational planning tools provides subscriber services delivered
from a BEA application infrastructure and protected by AssureAccess.
Burntsand, a leading ebusiness solutions integrator with over
350 blue chip clients in the US and Canada, worked with Bridges.com
in the development of the company's web-based infrastructure.
"Burntsand's deployment of the Bridges.com J2EE-based
web site and commerce portal was enhanced by the integration
capabilities of AssureAccess," said Tom Healey, Chief
Marketing Officer for Burntsand. "As Bridges adds new
users and services, AssureAccess will enable us to rapidly
make changes to rules and policies without service interruptions."
"To develop a secure ebusiness application infrastructure
that supports our rapidly growing customer base, we need an
access management solution that easily integrated with our
existing IT environment including BEA WebLogic Platform",
said Michael Mooney, Executive Vice President of Information
Technology for Bridges.com. "AssureAccess not only satisfies
this criteria but also delivers single sign-on and a flexible
policy administration which has made it easier and quicker
for us to deploy secure applications."
Channel 4
"When it came to choosing our access management provider,
Entegrity were the obvious choice: they had the right technology
- J2EE compliance, Web-based architecture and easy integration
with WebLogic", said Kavita Kapoor, Applications Architect
at Channel 4 Interactive.
"Even though we might look like an enormous Web team
from outside Channel 4, in fact we only have a couple of EJB
experts in-house, and therefore the 'out of the box' integration
between AssureAccess and WebLogic was a vital component of
the overall solution. We continue to be amazed at how easy
it was to integrate AssureAccess into our architecture, it
really was that simple", continued Kapoor.
"The support we have received from Entegrity throughout
the entire process has been invaluable. We have worked together
to ensure the service we are offering to our users is tailored
and secure whilst being totally flexible. The nature of our
website means that the visitor load can be very uneven, with
distinct peaks and troughs throughout the day, and we are
confident that the combination of products from BEA and Entegrity
will meet demands without any problems", concluded Kapoor.
New AssureAccess Features
In addition to BEA WebLogic 7.0 integration, the software
release also includes a new intuitive administrator interface;
the Universal Java Plug-In, a developer tool that makes AssureAccess
the industry's only access management software that integrates
fine-grain authorization into existing J2EE applications with
a single click; a Servlet filter that provides bolt-on security
for J2EE applications; and a standards-compliant implementation
of the Security Assertion Mark-up Language (SAML) that supports
web services and vendor interoperability.
