Port80 Software and Federal Systems Group Announce Distribution & Consulting Partnership Focused on Web Server Anonymization for Enhanced Network Security
SAN DIEGO, CA – February 18, 2003 – Port80 Software and Federal Systems Group announced today a distribution and consulting partnership in which Federal Systems Group will distribute Port80’s security software for Microsoft’s Internet Information Server (IIS) to its large portfolio of Windows NT/2000 based clients. These products include ServerMask, software that hides the identity of a Windows Web server from hackers and malicious scripts, and the upcoming PageXchanger, software that removes file extensions from all source code and URLs for security and a powerful form of content negotiation. This partnership will bring Port80 Software’s innovative IIS Web server security products to public and private-sector companies, leveraging Federal Systems Group’s strong position as a provider of end-to-end solutions to corporate enterprises and federal government clients.
“Federal Systems Group seeks out new technologies that offer our customers solutions to their business needs. We feel the partnership between Federal Systems Group and Port80 Software offers our customers the best of Web server security technology backed by Federal Systems Group service and support. This allows our customers to receive a total solution to their business needs,” stated Thomas Brennan, Chief Executive Office of Federal Systems Group.
“Port80 Software is excited to partner with Federal Systems Group and to support their corporate and government clients with our low cost, high impact Web server security products like ServerMask,” said Joseph Lima, COO of Port80 Software. “Given the current focus on Web server security highlighted by the recent Sapphire/Slammer worm, organizations are looking to supplement existing security systems and infrastructures. Our software helps to anonymize a Web server, making it difficult for an attacker to identify a server’s OS and Web server software — then attempt an exploit.”
Port80 Software offers a free “header check” tool that analyzes information broadcast from a Web server and detects the server’s identity. A survey of Fortune 1000 Web servers and the free tool are available at http://www.port80software.com/servermask/top1000webservers.
