Permeo Addresses Demand for Advanced Secure Remote Access and Secure Collaboration with Introduction of Permeo™ Application Security Gateway v5.0

DALLAS, TX (ots)

New Version Drastically Enhances Ease of
Extending Secure Access to All Enterprise Applications
Permeo Technologies Inc., the leader in enterprise application
security gateways with over 30 percent of the Global 100 as
customers, announces the latest version of its Application Security
Gateway, moving significantly beyond classic SSL VPNs and other
application security gateway products. A flexible solution used for
SSL remote access and secure outbound proxy access, the new version
adds a powerful web-based remote management console that delivers
quick and easy installation, configuration, and ongoing
administration. Further building on its core ability to extend
application access across internal and external network perimeters,
the Permeo solution also introduces native support for Session
Initiation Protocol (SIP), enabling firewall traversal for many of
today's popular collaborative applications.
"With the release of v5, Permeo significantly advances the power
and potential of their Application Security Gateway. Given the growth
in business needs to enable secure application access while providing
the highest levels of security, the Permeo product family is a
solution that every enterprise should evaluate as they connect local
and remote employees, customers, partners, and suppliers to critical
business applications," said Jeff Wilson, Executive Director of
Infonetics Research.
Ease of implementation and management are hallmarks of successful
enterprise security solutions that prove to enhance business while
minimizing administrative costs. With Application Security Gateway
v5, Permeo introduces a simple, one-step installation process that
cuts setup time to approximately fifteen minutes. The management
console in v5 is based on a comprehensive, web-based interface
derived from industry benchmarks, customer input, and usability
experts with the goal of allowing non-security experts to easily
enable full application access with the highest levels of security.
"This new version from Permeo provides an easy-to-use, intuitive
user interface that will enhance the ease of implementation and
overall management experience," said Joseph Dell, CTO of Vigilar, one
of Permeo's leading solution providers. "Permeo has taken what can be
complicated and tedious processes and rolled them into an
infrastructure that makes better use of the security manager's time
and resources."
Many of today's most anticipated and popular applications,
including voice over IP (VoIP) applications and peer-to-peer
collaborative services, utilize the SIP protocol. The primary
deployment challenge with these applications is to extend secure
remote and outbound SIP-based application access through well
configured enterprise firewalls. Most enterprise firewalls have to be
opened -- resulting in reduced security -- to enable traversal of
SIP-based applications. With Permeo Application Security Gateway v5.0
enterprise firewalls can be kept secure with no open and vulnerable
ports while allowing SIP-based applications to easily extend between
segregated networks.
"Permeo has made a commitment to customers to continue helping
them extend secure anywhere access to any business application. In
addition to enhancing the capabilities of clientless SSL remote
access and greatly simplifying the ease of installation and
management, with v5 we are introducing native support for the Session
Initiation Protocol," said Joe Pollard, CEO of Permeo Technologies.
"Permeo continues to make significant investments in providing the
only application security gateway that stays ahead of industry trends
and provides the application and protocol support required by the
largest and most demanding enterprise customers. Our support for SIP
is the latest example of this commitment."
Additional new features in v5 include:
--  Enhanced support for PKI based authentication (in addition to
       existing support for RADIUS, LDAP, Active Directory, User ID  
       and RSA SecureID) 
   --  Support for Palm handhelds (in addition to existing
       PocketPC support) 
   --  Java support for Permeo Clientless Agent (in
       addition to existing ActiveX support) Permeo ASG v5 is  
       currently in beta with commercial availability planned for  
       December 2003.
About Permeo Application Security Gateway
Many CIOs and network security managers face a common problem
today: how to enable their businesses to have access to the
applications they need without undermining network security. Because
traditional network security products are designed to limit access to
the network, any increases in access to applications for employees,
partners, and customers result in a corresponding decrease in network
security. Permeo Application Gateway provides the ideal solution
which allows an enterprise to extend the applications to the users
who need them irrespective of what network they are on and without
compromising network security.
About Permeo Technologies
Enabling secure access to any application through any firewall and
across any network, Permeo Technologies is the world leader in
Application Security Gateways with over 300 global customers and more
than 30 percent of the Global 100. Headquartered in Dallas, Texas,
Permeo was founded in June 2001 as a privately held spin-off from
