Citrix and Security Dynamics Team to Enhance Security for Enterprise-Wide Windows Application Deployment; Citrix's WinFrame Server Software Certified for Compatibility With Security Dynamics' ACE/Server Authentication System.CORAL SPRINGS Coral Springs, city (1990 pop. 79,443), Broward co., SE Fla.; inc. 1963. Largely residential, it is a city that has grown rapidly along with the southern Florida and Fort Lauderdale area. The population of Coral Springs nearly doubled between 1980 and 1990. , Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 11, 1996--Citrix Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on :CTXS CTXS Citrix Systems (NASDAQ stock ticker symbol) ) announced today a marketing partnership with Security Dynamics Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:SDTI SDTI Serial Data Transport Interface SDTI Security Dynamics Technologies, Inc. SDTI San Diego Trolley Inc. SDTI Serial Digital Transport Protocol ) to promote advanced techniques for secure deployment of enterprise applications in remote, Intranet and Internet environments. The partnership encompasses product certification Product certification or product qualification is the process of certifying that a certain product has passed performance and/or quality assurance tests or qualification requirements stipulated in regulations such as a building code and nationally accredited test standards, and market development for Citrix's WinFrame/Enterprise multi-user application server software and Security Dynamics' ACE/Server and SecurID identification and authentication security software. Security Dynamics' ACE/Server software supplements WinFrame's own Windows NT-based security system by adding an additional layer of user authentication See authentication. . Used in conjunction with the SecurID token, a credit card-sized, personal authentication token A security device given to authorized users who keep them in their possession. To log into the network, the security "card" or "token" may be read directly like a credit card, or it may display a changing number that is typed in as a password. , ACE/Server software centrally authenticates a user's identity. This permits only authorized users to connect to WinFrame servers where they can access protected network resources and applications over dial-up, LAN (Local Area Network) A communications network that serves users within a confined geographical area. The "clients" are the user's workstations typically running Windows, although Mac and Linux clients are also used. , WAN, Intranet or Internet connections. "Security Dynamics' ACE/Server complements WinFrame's own internal security by providing an additional layer of user authentication, which is becoming increasingly important as organizations continue to deploy enterprise applications outside the LAN to remote, Intranet and Internet users," said Mark Templeton Mark Templeton (b. 1975) is Principal Trombone of the London Philharmonic Orchestra. Mark studied at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama 1994-1998 with Eric Crees, Simon Wills and Peter Gane. During this time he became principal of the Gustav Mahler Youth Orchestra. , vice president of marketing for Citrix. "Together, WinFrame and ACE/Server provide enhanced security for user access to critical information and applications, anywhere in the enterprise." "With our combined technologies, customers now have the added security they require for network-centric Windows application A program that is written to run under Microsoft's Windows operating system. Such applications typically run under all 32-bit versions of Windows, but earlier applications might also run under the 16-bit versions (Windows 3.x) as well. See Windows. deployment across the enterprise," stated Steve Artick, director of strategic relationships at Security Dynamics. "The implementation of SecurID's two-factor user authentication into WinFrame is key, providing a high level of security for networks, while affording maximum user convenience and cost effectiveness." How WinFrame and ACE/Server Interact SecurID provides dynamic, two-factor authentication that combines a personal identification number (PIN) with a randomly generated access code that changes every 60 seconds. To access a SecurID-protected WinFrame/Enterprise server, users are challenged by both WinFrame security and the SecurID token passcode security. To authenticate with a SecurID token, users must first enter their secret PIN, followed by the current code displayed on the SecurID's LCD. This information represents a one-time passcode that is transmitted to the ACE/Server software host for verification. Once authenticated, users can log into a WinFrame/Enterprise multi-user application server. As an authorized extension to Windows NT Server under license from Microsoft, WinFrame taps into NT's powerful security features. Additionally, WinFrame employs a network-centric architecture, whereby all applications and data reside and execute on the server, which is located within the confines of the corporate LAN. Only the user interface displays remotely on client devices. WinFrame/Enterprise allows organizations to deploy line-of-business 16- and 32-bit Windows, client/server and legacy applications to users over dial-up, LAN, WAN, Intranet and Internet connections. WinFrame's thin client architecture provides the high-performance and universal application access needed by users, while the multi-user application server design offers I/S I/S Information Systems I/S Income Statement professionals the economic benefits of single-point management and control. Security Dynamics designs, develops, markets and supports a family of security products used to protect and manage access to computer-based information resources. The company's family of products employs patent-protected token technology and software or hardware access control products to authenticate the identity of users accessing networked or standalone computing resources.
