It has set out to bring a long-overdue ease of use to B2B security. Companies are not securing their e-commerce because of the sheer complexity involved. The idea, Ahmed says, is that IT people could purchase the products, have them installed and have a high degree of security without ever having to employ an expensive consultant or take time away from their own jobs. To this end, the company is offering a variety of products, but particularly PortalXpert. It works by implementing security servers at strategic locations in a network.
Users then enter the company's intranet through the servers.
This means the other nodes in the network don't need security software. They can simply use the servers as a trusted gateway. The servers then intercept anything that might be dangerous to the system as a whole. The company says this also greatly simplifies the lives of IT employees. They don't have to worry about putting cookies or access control software on every PC or server in their operation.
