Perfecto's AppShield Brings Web
Application Security to Neptune Technologies Customers
Santa Clara, Calif. - April 24, 2000 - Perfecto Technologies, the established leader in automated
Web application security and control software, today announced a strategic relationship
with Neptune Technologies, a leading Internet solutions provider that specializes in
business-to-business (B2B) eCommerce. Under the agreement, Perfecto's flagship product,
AppShield, will be offered as a key security component of Neptune Technologies' end-to-end
solutions. AppShield is the first and only security solution designed specifically to protect
eBusiness sites at the Web application level.
"The agreement with Neptune
Technologies is an excellent addition to our growing list of strategic alliances,"
said Debra Nordgren, Perfecto's Vice President of Business Development. "With the
explosive growth in the B2B marketplace, Internet security is becoming a tremendous
concern, particularly in areas such as intellectual property and brand protection.
By combining our innovative Web application security technology with Neptune's
expertise in systems integration, we can provide eBusinesses with powerful and
extremely secure B2B eCommerce solutions."
The partnership with Neptune Technologies represents an important step in Perfecto's
overall B2B strategy. As more companies move their corporate assets to online
applications, the risk of espionage in the areas of products, patents, personnel
files, financial records and customer data becomes an increasingly large threat.
Perfecto's Web application security products are designed to provide end-to-end
application-level protection for a B2B company's entire supply chain process.
"Neptune is committed
to helping companies rapidly implement successful B2B eCommerce solutions and
achieve critical mass at Internet speeds," commented Tim Burr, Vice President
of Marketing of Neptune Technologies. "AppShield provides a much-needed layer of
Web application security, yet it can be implemented easily and doesn't impact
time-to- market. We are very pleased to include it in our Internet security
offerings."
About AppShield
Based on Perfecto's innovative Policy Recognition Engine and Adaptive Reduction
Technology, AppShield is uniquely able to prevent application-level intrusions.
By dynamically recognizing a site's intended application security policy and
analyzing each outbound HTML page on the fly, AppShield ensures policy compliance
for each incoming HTTP request. As a result, AppShield makes it nearly impossible
for hackers to take advantage of common security loopholes; either in the
application code or within widely used third-party products such as web servers.
AppShield can be installed quickly, needs little configuration and does not require
modification to either existing eBusiness applications or third-party software.
