Santa Clara, CALIF. — September 8, 2003 - Sanctum, Inc., the established leader in automated Web application security firewall and testing software and a member of the PeopleSoft Partner Connection Program, today announced the AppShield PeopleSoft Pack, which provides enterprise users of PeopleSoft (Nasdaq: PSFT) Human Resources Management Solutions (HRMS) with comprehensive security for their Web-based applications. The AppShield PeopleSoft Pack, featuring Sanctum's proven application firewall, dramatically reduces deployment time for steadfast security and tight integration across PeopleSoft solutions. AppShield's patented Dynamic Policy Recognition Engine (DPRE) automatically learns and enforces the intended business logic of applications in real-time, providing a secure environment for PeopleSoft's best-in-class applications portfolio and ensuring compliance with external regulations and internal security best practices.

The AppShield PeopleSoft Pack, which includes an initial site audit ("health check"), AppShield appliance, implementation, training and annual maintenance, helps users mitigate the risk associated with the integration and customization of Internet-based applications. The new offering empowers users to extend their reach to a broad network of customers, partners and employees, while still maintaining comprehensive protection of sensitive data. Enterprises can rely on the AppShield PeopleSoft Pack to secure digital assets and reduce the risk of liability from Internet-based attacks. Used by nine of the top ten Fortune 500 for real-time management of HR business processes, PeopleSoft HRMS reduces operating costs and increases productivity.

"A comprehensive application security solution for enterprise users, the AppShield PeopleSoft Pack cuts deployment of critical security measures from the months that it normally takes to protect information and enforce compliance to just days. While security and protection of an enterprise's core data are the top concern for anyone accessing personal information, the delayed deployment and time-consuming management of traditional security measures is simply not acceptable," said Steve Orrin, CTO of Sanctum. "The AppShield PeopleSoft Pack helps customers align their PeopleSoft strategy with a best-in-class security solution tailored to the PeopleSoft environment. Working with market leaders like PeopleSoft to provide customized security solutions at reduced costs, Sanctum continues to prove its commitment to delivering the most advanced application-level security in the market."
