SAVOY, Ill., June 4, 2008 — Argus Systems Group today announced the release of PitBull Foundation and PitBull Foundation Suite for Solaris 10 for the x86/x64 platform. Users can now upgrade to enhanced multilevel security (MLS) on a Solaris system. PitBull is built on proven and certified security technology and offers users the ability to protect Solaris systems at the core of the system, from within the kernel.
PitBull Foundation is an add-on product that converts the operating system to a trusted operating system (TOS). PitBull Foundation Suite is a set of utilities to simplify installation as well as enhance operational efficiency.
"PitBull Foundation and PitBull Foundation Suite for the x86/x64 platform provide the same functionality as PitBull Foundation and Foundation Suite for SPARC. Going beyond perimeter security to the heart of the system PitBull provides security that perimeter solutions can't. The combination of PitBull Foundation and Foundation Suite provides Solaris users with a powerful security product that can protect their valuable assets," said Andrew Jones, Argus CEO.
Users will find that PitBull differs from Sun's new approach to MLS in that it uses traditional MLS compartmentalization independent of Solaris Zones. PitBull is powerful and flexible and is the best choice for an environment where flexibility is important or where multiple applications need to be run in a secure yet interconnected mode. Previous PitBull products for AIX(R) 5.2 and 5.3 were certified under Common Criteria LSPP at EAL 4+.
What security do PitBull products provide?
— Prevent any bug in any program from damaging the system
— Individually control what network resources can be used by each program
— Control and limit all user and administrator accounts
— Enforce a security policy on a system of malicious software
