Sanctum's Powerful Web Application Security Software
Completes Fujitsu's Security Offering
Santa Clara, Calif. - October 17, 2000 -
Sanctum, Inc., the established leader in automated web
application control and security software, today announced
a strategic partnership with Fujitsu Systems Business of
America (FSBA), a leading provider of advanced IT solutions
for global enterprises. Under the agreement, FSBA will
integrate Sanctum's industry-leading web application
security solution, AppShield, into Fujitsu's Advanced
Networking Solutions (FANS). FANS is a comprehensive,
one-stop, managed network services solution package
designed for enterprises worldwide. The partnership
with Sanctum completes the FANS security solution
dedicated to delivering the security analysis and planning,
implementation, and continuous support needed by eBusinesses today.
"FSBA has a global reputation for managing some
of the largest enterprise IT organizations, and our
customers are increasingly concerned about their online
security. Sanctum's AppShield is uniquely positioned in
the industry to address the security of the actual web
applications, which we feel is a critical component to our
FANS offering," said Steve Beecher, vice president of FANS
Operations at FSBA. "Security is our highest priority and
with Sanctum, we feel confident we are giving our customers
the best-of-breed technology they need to ensure a secure
online business."
AppShield, Sanctum's flagship product, is the first
and only solution to provide complete, application-level
security for eBusinesses. Developed to meet the time-to-market
demands of the eBusiness environment, AppShield can be installed
quickly, needs little configuration and does not require
modification to either existing eBusiness applications
or third-party software. Because it provides blanket
protection against application-level security vulnerabilities,
AppShield allows eBusiness application developers to focus
their attention on functionality and performance rather than t
he time-consuming process of coding and testing for security.
"Sanctum's partnership with FSBA highlights the importance
of the application-level security issues now facing large
enterprises," said Peggy Weigle, CEO of Sanctum. "We have
seen immediate demand for our combined solution, especially
in the financial services market with a very large credit
card company. By combining Sanctum's industry-leading web
application security solution with FSBA's best-of-breed
FANS package, we provide eBusinesses with the best
defense against web perversion."
