Trusted Information Systems enhances Gauntlet Internet Firewall

Trusted Information Systems Inc. (TIS) announced new capabilities in its Gauntlet Internet Firewall. Version 3.2 of the software includes the Java Guard option, which blocks Java code from passing the firewall, support for strong user authentication for controlled Web access, central firewall management, and support for mobile users. Enhancements for new applications include support for Sybase database access.

Java Guard gives Gauntlet Internet Firewall users the option of reliably preventing outsiders from using Java code maliciously against protected networks. Java Guard, when activated by the network manager in a Gauntlet Internet Firewall, simply blocks all Java and JavaScript code from crossing the firewall. Gauntlet Internet Firewall is the first proxy firewall to offer Java blocking. Firewalls that rely on packet filtering cannot effectivively block Java.

The Gauntlet Internet Firewall Version 3.2 is available now for BSD/OS, HP-UX, and SunOS platforms. List price is 1,500. TIS offers discounts for upgrades of its previous firewall versions.

NetObjects introduces Fusion; JavaSoft and Netscape sign on

NetObjects announced Fusion, a Web publishing application that gives users visual control over the design and production of their Web sites. Instead of creating separate HTML pages and connecting them together to build a site (as with Microsoft's Front Page and Netscape's Gold with LiveWire Pro), Fusion takes a macro, site-oriented approach, combining automatic site building, design, and data publishing features. An integrated set of modules is included with Fusion, including SiteArchitect Editor, PageDraw Editor, SiteStyles Manager, SiteAssets, and SitePublish.

Approving of the method NetObjects' Fusion uses for integrating Java applets in Web sites, both JavaSoft and Netscape have signed comarketing agreements. "NetObjects' visual support of Java, and its active support for open standards, will further Java's acceptance as a rich media component of innovative Web sites. I believe that NetObjects will play a significant role in helping professionals build better Web sites and am, therefore, excited about our cooperation," said Lew Tucker, director of corporate and ISV marketing for JavaSoft.
