[Cheyenne] [ Home | Products | Anti-Virus | Firewalls | General Security | Newsline | Experts ] --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ***************************************** THE CHEYENNE SECURITY NEWSLINE ***************************************** September 13, 1996 (Issue #2) THIS MONTH'S HOT STORIES NEW NT ANTIVIRUS FOR THE ENTERPRISE Cheyenne Software announced a major upgrade of its award-winning antivirus software for Microsoft Windows NT -- InocuLAN 4 for Windows NT. InocuLAN 4 delivers a number of advanced capabilities including Domain Management, Virus Wall, Virus Quarantine, Hands-Free Updates, and Internet Protection -- all industry firsts. InocuLAN 4 for Windows NT is the first antivirus product to support Windows NT 4.0 and is designed for networked customers. InocuLAN is tightly integrated with Cheyenne AntiVirus clients for Windows NT, Windows 95, Windows 3.x, DOS, and Macintosh workstations. "Viruses are becoming a visible and pervasive threat to corporate intellectual assets," said Rob Enderle, Sr. Analyst for Giga Information Group. "InocuLAN, by providing network level protection is a vast improvement over existing tools that are often out of date, are difficult to administer across large corporations, and generally provide a false sense of security." For more information on InocuLAN 4 please visit: http://www.cheyenne.com/security/wpinoc1.html NETWORK SECURITY TOOL Intrusion Detection Inc. offers the only software that can completely analyze the integrity of both Windows NT and Novell Networks. The Kane Security Analyst (KSA) offers LAN administrators, corporate security officers and auditors the ability to assess password strength, access control, system monitoring, data integrity and data account restrictions. In addition, KSA offers a powerful password cracking analyzer and has an extensive list of known NT security vulnerabilities in its built-in knowledge base. Cheyenne and Intrusion Detection are partnering to integrate InocuLAN and KSA which will give KSA the ability to report on antivirus network security. FAST VIRUS-FREE BACKUPS Because antivirus software is notorious for slowing down backups, achieving a fast, virus- free backup can be difficult. Antivirus software that offers real-time protection will check each file as it is written to the backup media. This sounds great, but with thousands of files to backup, the back-and-forth process of the antivirus and backup programs will significantly impact server performance and dramatically lengthen the time to complete the backup. Your backup and anti-virus software must be designed to work together to achieve the best results. Cheyenne's integrated software solution ensures that your backups are fast and virus-free.

Corporate users can utilize this model to determine the cost-benefit of their decisions; consultants will utilize the model to assist clients in arriving at proper decisions; antivirus product sales teams will use the model to help demonstrate the effectiveness of choosing their specific product solution. The NCSA Virus Cost Analysis Model is available immediately for licensing. To obtain more information or to purchase this software, contact Harry Brittain, NCSA, at 717-258-1816, x258 (hbrittain@ncsa.com).
