ClearTrust SecureControl Manages User Access to Web Content and

Transactions Hosted on Industry's Most Trusted UNIX Operating System

Securant Technologies(R), the company that secures eBusiness, today announced a relationship with Compaq Computer Corporation (NYSE:CPQ) to provide the first Web access management system that protects applications and online transactions based on AlphaServer systems running Compaq's Tru64 UNIX operating system.

Securant, which is a member of the Compaq Solutions Alliance Program, has integrated its award-winning ClearTrust SecureControl(R) access management system with Compaq's Tru64 UNIX AlphaServer systems. By creating a single access management infrastructure for all Compaq Tru64 UNIX applications, ClearTrust SecureControl enables enterprises to control, authorize, monitor, and audit user interactions with Web-based applications hosted on this mission critical operating system. ClearTrust SecureControl for Compaq Tru64 UNIX running on AlphaServer systems allows faster and more secure deployment of sensitive eBusiness applications, and is available immediately.

ClearTrust SecureControl allows customers to centrally set, enforce, and manage the security policies that govern user authentication, authorization, and single sign-on for all Web server- and Web application server-based applications running on the Compaq Tru64 UNIX operating system. In addition, ClearTrust SecureControl's unique Detector functionality helps prevent application misuse and fraud by proactively monitoring, identifying, and taking countermeasures against suspicious activity on Compaq Tru64 UNIX-based systems.

"The ability to dynamically control and audit user access to critical business information residing on the Compaq Tru64 UNIX operating system is a key requirement for our security-intensive global customers," said Don Jenkins, vice president of Marketing and Business Development for Compaq's High Performance Systems Division. "The native integration of Securant's ClearTrust SecureControl with Compaq's Tru64 UNIX operating system provides an enterprise-class infrastructure that allows our customers to more rapidly deploy and secure Web-based applications."

"Ensuring that security services are integrated with the underlying operating system is hard work, but it is the only way to protect Web applications from unauthorized access," said Eric Olden, chief technology officer, Securant Technologies. "Securant is providing Compaq Tru64 UNIX customers a tight-knit security infrastructure that requires no custom integration, allows them to centrally control and automate user access to Web-based applications, and protects high-value transactions."

ClearTrust SecureControl delivers a centralized, unified, and automated infrastructure for securing Compaq Tru64 UNIX operating environments including:

-- Multi-Domain Single Sign-On across all Tru64 UNIX-based applications within
a company, as well as affiliated applications that are hosted on separate
partner and vendor Web sites.

-- Smart Rules-based authorization that allows customers to use natural
language business rules to centralize, automatically assign, and dynamically
adjust access permissions based on a user's profile (role, account balance,
subscription level, etc.).

-- Delegated administration using ClearTrust Virtual Business Units(R) that
allow time-consuming user administration workloads to be distributed within a
company (across departments, divisions, etc.); externally to partners and
customers; and to individual users/subscribers via a self-service function.

-- Fraud/threat detection that monitors a user's behavior within an
application, and can take countermeasures to proactively prevent application
misuse and fraud.
