      <title>SECUDE Joins the RSA Secured Partner Program Providing Unique SAP Application Monitoring Capabilities With RSA enVision Technology</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Interoperability between SECUDE Security Intelligence and the RSA enVision® Platform Enables Deep and Complete SAP Application Monitoring for Joint Customers </p><p>Darmstadt, Germany -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 11/19/2010 --   SECUDE today announced that it has joined the RSA Secured® Partner Program to certify interoperability between Security Intelligence (SI) and RSA enVision® solution from RSA, The Security Division of EMC (NYSE: EMC). This certification has been established to help increase security for joint customers, enabling deep and complete SAP application monitoring (for ABAP-based SAP Business Suite and SAP NetWeaver applications) and lowering monitoring and audit costs for customers.<br />
<br />
"Monitoring of business critical enterprise applications such as SAP applications is crucial, and the interoperable solution offers strong visibility into what is going in the SAP landscape of our joint customers" says Jens Kettler, Product Manager with SECUDE. "Security Intelligence closes the gap between SAP systems and SIEM solutions. RSA and SECUDE have been working very closely to drive the development of Security Intelligence for SAP, which provides to the RSA enVision solution access to SAP security data offering strong depth and completeness, combining SECUDE&apos;s SAP security expertise and the market leading SIEM solution of RSA."<br />
<br />
"We are pleased to welcome SECUDE to the RSA Secured Partner Program. SECUDE&apos;s ability to monitor mission critical applications is essential for organizations looking to truly secure their vital systems and to improve their ability to comply with government regulations and industry best practices," said Ted Kamionek, Vice President, Corporate Development at RSA. "Our interoperability will help customers to effectively and efficiently increase their security through user and application monitoring as well as lower their costs for SAP monitoring and audits."  <br />
<br />
Security Intelligence (SI) is a middleware that is running on an SAP Application Server ABAP or other SAP system, written in ABAP. It connects to the various ABAP based applications and extracts security and compliance relevant data from several SAP log files, change documents, tables, transports, system parameters, and forwards the information to the RSA enVision platform. With this interoperable partnership, central security monitoring of complex landscapes becomes easy.<br />
<br />

      <title>SECUDE's Security Intelligence Wins the IT Security Award 2010 As the 'Innovation of the Year'</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">SECUDE’s Security Intelligence, the SAP security solution has already won accolades and rave reviews for its innovativeness and capability. </p><p>Darmstadt, Germany -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 10/31/2010 --   Barely a month since the release of SECUDE&apos;s Security Intelligence, the SAP security solution has already won accolades and rave reviews for its innovativeness and capability. <br />
<br />
The IT security fair held at Nuernberg, it-sa, saw the launch of SAP security expert SECUDE&apos;s Security Intelligence to the global market. During the launch, the product was adjudged the &apos;Innovation of the Year&apos; by a ten-member panel that represented the IT industry, business associations, and the media. Security Intelligence was chosen for the award as it closes a critical gap in monitoring data and security events in complex SAP environments. <br />
<br />
it-sa was organized by IT-Verlag, a well-known publishing company house. The IT security trade fair provides an attractive combination of technical competence available, practical demonstrations, and a galaxy of IT security solutions.<br />
<br />
The Need for Security Intelligence<br />
SAP&apos;s global customers face increasing legal and regulatory pressure to set up controls to minimize risk in their IT environment. Typical external requirements come from regulations and standards such as PCI, SOX, FDA, Basel II, and other data protection laws. One critical necessity is to continuously monitor the SAP environment. This also includes the ability to provide proofs of working controls in audits. However, Security Intelligence and Event Monitoring (SIEM) solutions today do not provide sufficient SAP connectivity. These tools are blind to vital data and processes in the complex SAP landscapes.<br />
<br />
Security Intelligence provides an interface between the various sources of security and compliance relevant data within SAP systems and solutions that are used to monitor IT landscapes. It enables central security monitoring and analysis of SAP landscapes, a requirement that many SAP customers face due to increasing legal or regulatory pressure, or to fulfill their internal security policy.<br />
<br />
The main component of Security Intelligence, C-BUS, is an infrastructure to extract security- and compliance-relevant data from SAP landscapes and transfer them to SIEM solutions. The first release in October 2010 provides access to SAP security audit logs, system logs, system parameter, table content, transfer information, and change documents. The data is transferred to third-party SIEM solutions or to other compliance-log-archive solutions.<br />

      <title>SECUDE's Security Intelligence Offers Complete and Deep SAP Connectivity for Your SIEM Solution</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">SECUDE’s Security Intelligence is the only solution in the market enabling deep, real-time security monitoring of complex SAP landscapes, leveraging SECUDE’s extensive experience in the SAP security area.</p><p>Emmetten, Switzerland -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 10/05/2010 --   The need to comply with increasing regulatory pressure to set up controls to minimize risks in the IT environment drives SAP&apos;s global customers towards robust security solutions. As an important tool, Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solutions are increasingly being deployed primarily to prove the effectiveness of existing controls. However, such solutions do not provide sufficient SAP connectivity. These tools are blind to vital data and processes in complex SAP environments. <br />
<br />
Typically, SIEM solutions have limited SAP connectivity and read log files only. Is there a solution to cover the SAP landscape? <br />
<br />
SECUDE&apos;s Security Intelligence (SI)<br />
<br />
SI provides an interface between the various sources of security and compliance relevant data within SAP systems and solutions that are used to monitor IT landscapes. <br />
<br />
It enables central security monitoring and analysis of SAP landscapes, a requirement that many SAP customers face due to increasing legal or regulatory pressure, or to fulfill their internal security policy. The system provides significantly more valuable information than other SIEM products alone. Beyond the security audit log, data from tables, change documents, other log files, and the system configuration can be accessed, thus, giving a complete picture of the security status and events in the SAP applications.<br />
<br />
Also, SI integrates seamlessly with various ABAP-based SAP applications. As data consuming SIEM solutions, RSA enVision and ArcSight ESM are supported out of the box. Support for other SIEM or Business Intelligence solutions can also be provided.<br />
<br />
Benefits:<br />
• Enables complete and deep SAP connectivity for SIEM solutions, enabling access to important SAP data<br />
• Offers standardized and efficient interfaces for extracting data and for forwarding refined security information to SIEM solutions<br />
• Provides mechanisms to subscribe to particular security relevant events (customer-defined filters and views)<br />
• Easily deployable and configurable – automatic detection of system landscape<br />
• Based on SECUDE&apos;s extensive experience in the SAP security space<br />
<br />
SI is the only solution in the market enabling deep, real-time security monitoring of complex SAP landscapes, leveraging SECUDE&apos;s extensive experience in the SAP security area.<br />
<br />
Supported Platforms: Security Intelligence requires a NetWeaver ABAP 7.0 SR3 system. It can then monitor all ABAP-based SAP systems from 4.6C onwards.<br />

      <title>SECUDE Launches its Own Green IT Initiative</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p>Emmetten, NW -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 12/23/2009 --   SECUDE, in its own modest way, has taken the initiative to tackle energy consumption effectively. <br />
<br />
"I live responsibly on this planet. Whether politicians the world over are concerned or not, I am concerned about global climate change. As this is my children&apos;s planet too, I wish to be proactive. At the modest level of my organization, I have launched a Green IT initiative that will reduce energy consumption and CO2 emissions by not less than 30%," says SECUDE&apos;s CEO and Founder, Dr. Heiner Kromer.<br />
<br />
Going Green<br />
The Copenhagen Summit may not have achieved what was hoped for. However, SECUDE, in its own modest way, has taken the initiative to tackle energy consumption effectively. SECUDE maintains two large server facilities: the primary server in Switzerland with over 70 servers plus auxiliary equipment and a second server serving as back up in Germany. Those servers and related hardware as well as necessary air cooling systems require significant amounts of electricity consumption. Investing into greener means of energy consumption will help SECUDE reduce its overall energy needs by a whopping 30%. <br />
<br />
Redesigning Ventilation the Smart Way<br />
It was identified that ventilation utilized a major amount of resource to run the various coolers in the server rooms. As per the new design, all servers will be enclosed in an air-tight room to reduce the amount of cool air required to cool the systems. An array of venting ducts bringing in cool air currents will be redirected from the rear, where it is required most, to the front server panels. The total volume of coolant air will be reduced two-thirds from its current requirement. The air that is warmed after passing through the servers will be directed into adjacent offices for heating during winter time. Automatic sensors for measuring outside and inside air temperatures will shut down the venting system when needed.<br />
<br />
Additionally, in a related policy, SECUDE will reduce car allowances. Employees will be provided additional public transportation passes with the hope to lower CO2 emissions!<br />
<br />
IT business is considered responsible for 2% of global CO2 emissions. A recent survey reveals that within the next decade new IT technologies would contribute reducing 5.8 billion tons of CO2 emissions per year, which is approximately 1.65% of 2007 emissions, mostly through new energy management systems within high consumption domains such as logistics, construction, and transportation.<br />

      <title>SECUDE's Secure Login Client Version 5.0 Enables Windows 7 Platform Support</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Secure Login provides secure Single Sign-On and total landscape encryption for SAP supporting a variety of different authentication mechanisms including Active Directory, LDAP, SAP-ID, RADIUS, RSA SecurID®, SQL DB, and even smart cards.</p><p>Goebelstrasse , Darmstadt -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 12/02/2009 --   The need for an easy single, yet secure, login procedure has always been an elusive issue for many big organizations. Multiple user names and passwords, multiple logins, and the ensuing confusion and frustration consume much of a user&apos;s productivity in terms of time and energy.<br />
<br />
Secure Login<br />
<br />
Secure Login provides secure Single Sign-On and total landscape encryption for SAP supporting a variety of different authentication mechanisms including Active Directory, LDAP, SAP-ID, RADIUS, RSA SecurID®, SQL DB, and even smart cards.<br />
<br />
Secure Login is tightly integrated into SAP by making use of its Secure Network Communications (SNC) framework and by fully supporting SAP&apos;s Cryptographic Library (SAPCryptolib) which means that no third party or SECUDE components need to be installed on the SAP server. However, SECUDE also provides its own cryptographic library which has some advanced features the SAP library does not have. <br />
<br />
Secure Login is based on industry standards such as X.509 and Kerberos, and supports all available SAP user interfaces including SAPGUI, Enterprise Portal, Business Explorer, Business Objects and others.<br />
<br />
Secure Login&apos;s benefits are obvious in terms of cost reduction due to the elimination of multiple SAP passwords, thus reducing help desk calls from users and in increased productivity due to no interruption by repeated username/password dialogs.<br />
<br />
New features and their benefits<br />
The new Secure Login Client 5.0 adds the following new features and benefits:<br />
<br />
• Support for Microsoft Windows 7: Windows 7 in 32bit and 64bit is supported in this version. <br />
<br />
• Ability to hide/replace SECUDE logo in clients&apos; UI: This ability allows customized branding of the Secure Login Client as it is now possible to replace or completely hide the SECUDE logo in GUI allowing the client to look like a corporate (internal) application.<br />
<br />
• Ability to completely hide the SECUDE client from the end user: This feature allows the Secure Login Client icon in the system tray to be turned off for even better transparency.<br />
<br />
• Ability to allow optional automatic enrollment when the Secure Login Client starts: It is possible to perform an automatic enrollment for Secure Login security profiles when the Secure Login Client is started. This feature enables Secure Login support for Internet Explorer without further manual login and without integration of the Secure Login ActiveX into the Webpage.<br />
<br />
• Customization of SNC error messages: Through this feature, all error messages shown by Secure Login Client&apos;s error message dialog during SNC negotiation can now be customized.<br />
<br />
Compatibility<br />
Secure Login Client 5.0 is fully compatible to Secure Login 4.x which means a mixed environment of 4.2 and 5.0 clients is possible.<br />

      <title>FinallySecure, a Division of SECUDE AG Releases Secure SignOn 7.0 with New Advanced Features</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p>Emmetten, Switzerland -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 07/01/2009 --   FinallySecure, a division of SECUDE AG officially releases a new version of its Enterprise Single Sign-On software (eSSO). The new version which is part of SECUDE&apos;s Unified Single Sign-On solution provides better protection, higher user convenience and improved cost effectiveness for businesses. <br />
<br />
Version 7.0 of Secure SignOn furnishes with enhanced support for Web, Windows, Java and Terminal applications as well as a brand new learning wizard for maximum user convenience and ease of administration.<br />
<br />
Combining a username with a password (single-factor authentication) is still the most common method of user authentication for businesses. Although it is no longer suitable to withstand the sophisticated attacks from external hackers nor to fulfill the stringent security requirements for sensitive company data - many businesses are reluctant to give up this seemingly simple authentication method in favor of a more powerful and efficient one.<br />
<br />
With Secure SignOn instead of having to memorize numerous passwords, users now only need to remember one. The employees are relieved and can focus on their personal workload instead. Help desk staff and IT administrators are also relieved, as the number of password-related queries and issues are significantly reduced. <br />
<br />
"We continue to improve our Unified Single Sign-On (SSO) offering that covers SAP as well as non-SAP environments with our upcoming wave of next generation technologies," says Dr. Heiner Kromer, CEO of SECUDE, the parent company of FinallySecure, "Secure SignOn 7.0 improves ease-of-use through our new learning wizard and expands compatibility with Enterprise Java applications that are becoming increasingly popular."<br />
<br />
Secure SignOn 7.0 is equipped with typical Enterprise Single Sign-On features such as: <br />
<br />
- Single Sign-On to Web- and Windows Applications <br />
- Broad support of Smart Cards, USB tokens and Biometric Devices<br />
<br />
In addition, Secure SignOn is enhanced with new features such as: <br />
<br />
- Single Sign-On for Web and Desktop based Java Applications<br />
- The Single Sign-On Wizard that automatically detects Login dialogs<br />
- The ability to automatically handle password renewal requests based on pre-defined password policies<br />
<br />
Taking full advantages of Secure SignOn 7.0, users as well as administrators can enjoy a secure IT environment with high flexibility, convenience and easy administration and installation. <br />
