Pragma Systems Introduces Fortress: A New Comprehensive Security Platform to Secure Windows Servers and Enterprise Networks
AUSTIN, Texas, June 30, 2004 — Pragma Systems, Inc., a leading provider of enterprise class Windows servers for Microsoft platforms, introduces the Pragma Fortress product line to enhance the security of Windows 2003/2000/XP by providing a comprehensive suite of products and access which protects large deployments of Windows based enterprises. Pragma Fortress protects customers' network security against network intrusions, identity theft, unauthorized data access, hacking, virus and worm attacks.
Fortress is built with the popular secure shell (SSH) protocol. The Fortress product line's comprehensive offering includes: Fortress Server (SSH server and secure file transfer server), Fortress Client Suite (essential package of management tools with secure shell graphical client and secure file transfer graphical client) and Fortress for Handhelds (PocketPC and Palm SSH client). The Fortress server package includes fully integrated management tools for server configuration, session management and secure remote accessibility.
Fortress assists customers in implementing HIPAA and Sarbanes-Oxley compliance.
Fortress fully integrates with Windows Active Directory NTLM authentication allowing customers seamless access to any number of Windows Servers across an enterprise without having to re-type their password or access credentials by using a single sign-on method. Pragma added the NTLM authentication to coincide with the certificate or password authentication options.
"Pragma's Fortress line redefines the Windows security market as it enhances the Windows platform with cryptographic strength, impenetrable security and expanded authentication. Pragma's largest customers are expected to be its most enthusiastic supporters as Fortress will help them secure access to thousands of Windows Servers and Workstations," said David Kulwin, CTO of Pragma Systems.
