- Forum Sentry's Native Interoperability with RSA SecurID® Authentication

Offers Organizations Deeper Authentication, Enhanced Security across All

Business Transactions

BOSTON

,

July 9, 2012

/PRNewswire/ -- Forum Systems, a wholly owned

subsidiary of Crosscheck Networks, Inc., today announced that it has joined the

Secured by RSA

®

Certified Partner Program to establish interoperability

between Forum Sentry and RSA SecurID

®

from RSA, The Security Division of

EMC. This certification is designed to signify that a technical partnership has

been established to deliver a deeper two-factor authentication and end-to-end

security solution for today's complex, global and distributed enterprises.

Processing more than one billion transactions per day worldwide, Forum

Systems' flagship Forum Sentry XML Gateway drives secure B2B and B2C

exchange for hundreds of organizations in market sectors including federal and

state government, telecommunications, financial services and healthcare. The

industry standard for security and SOA Governance for XML, SOAP and REST

services, Forum Sentry helps global enterprises leverage legacy investments,

while offering a seamless migration path to cloud computing.

Forum Sentry unites the threat protection, scalability and Federated Identity

capabilities of an XML Gateway with the security of a Web Application Firewall

(WAF). By removing the identity and security burden from Web sites and

composite applications, Forum Sentry securely authenticates and authorizes

users invoking services, regardless of where the services reside (on-premise or

in the cloud), content type (HTML, XML, SOAP, REST) or protocol used (HTTP,

JMS, IBM MQ, Tibco EMS, FTP, SMTP). Enforcing decisions across complex

identity tokens and repositories throughout the entire transaction, Forum

Sentry rapidly delivers rich online content, fueling faster, more powerful and

higher-quality Web experiences for users.

"The ubiquity of smartphones, mobile devices and mobile applications is a

tremendous value-add because it embodies the promise of anytime, anywhere

access to the information and services we want. But high-value, transaction-

oriented organizations face the challenge that their critical business data must

traverse and expand beyond the physical boundaries of their already complex

network security infrastructures," said Mamoon Yunus, CEO of Crosscheck

Networks. "Addressing these business and technology dynamics, Forum

Sentry's native integration with RSA SecurID

®

Authentication provides a strong

level of security assurance for distributed computing environments by

extending deeper two-factor authentication throughout the entirety of B2B and

B2C transactions."

David Low, Director, Strategic Technology Alliances, for RSA, says,

"Organizations are looking for ways to share data and exchange critical

information between and among different entities. Forum Sentry's solutions

provide that critical capability, and by adding RSA SecurID two-factor

integration, organizations can have a high degree of assurance that individuals

accessing these systems are legitimate users."

Yunus continued: "Forum Systems is excited to work with an industry leader like

RSA to deliver end-to-end security, along with more efficient and effective

compliance and auditing initiatives. Importantly, for those enterprises that have

invested in XML-, SOA- and REST-based architectures, this integration eases

their transition to mobile computing by giving organizations access to

applications and services without compromising data protection or security."

RSA SecurID Authentication is is engineered to assure user identities and

protect against unauthorized access to applications and resources across

numerous physical locations. RSA SecurID technology is comprised of both a

broad range of hardware and software authenticators that are designed to

provide end users with a one-time password that is designed to change every

60 seconds, as well as its software engine – RSA

®

Authentication Manager –

which is engineered to scale to support millions of users and provides the

benefit of technical certification and interoperability with more than 300

products.
