GUARDIAN DIGITAL LAUNCHES NEXT GENERATION ENGARDE SECURE LINUX
Award-winning secure operating platform combines ease of management
with unsurpassed security as a primary focus.
ALLENDALE, NJ-February 9, 2004 -- Guardian Digital, Inc., the world's
premier open source security company, today announced the next
generation, award-winning EnGarde Secure Linux. Leveraging the best
open source applications available, combined with the security
expertise from Guardian Digital, EnGarde delivers features designed to
ease the process of building a complete Internet presence and the
level of security necessary to prevent system compromises.
"The proactive security improvements inherent into its design are one
of the primary factors in the success of EnGarde," writes Pete O'Hara,
vice president of engineering at Guardian Digital. "Coupled with the
most sophisticated open source Web-based management system, EnGarde
consistently protects users from even debilitating kernel security
vulnerabilities where other Linux vendors fail."
EnGarde features secure web-based management of all functions,
including Internet edge services (Web, DNS, email), integrated
intrusion detection, cryptography, improved authentication and access
control, as well as protection from many forms of intrusion such as
buffer overruns and denial of service attacks. Enhanced availability
and access control mechanisms delivers a potent combination suitable
for the largest enterprise.
"Security management is an essential component of any successful
online operation. Mitigating security risks through the use of a
dynamic, rapidly-evolving development process bolstered by
collaboration of the open source community provides the most efficient
form of protection," writes Paul Brisson, orthopedic spinal surgeon,
New York Spinal Care. "EnGarde Secure Linux and its secure-by-design
approach combined with the security benefits engineered by Guardian
Digital offer the best in proactive protection," continues Brisson.

web-based interface used to securely manage network and server
operations. Emphasizing increased security, performance, and an

and email system management.

key management for building secure Web sites.
-Hardened kernel and user tools providing highly
resilient protection from intruders.
-Gateway firewalling using stateful packet inspection.

Please distribute widely. This is a major initiative of the AFCN. We
hope to reduce the time and effort involved in starting and running a
community network via this program. Once we identify one or two
well-executed packages, we expect to devote additional resources to
refining the best packages, so that over time, the AFCN can provide
members with a well-tested and well-supported toolbox of services that
are ready to run on Open Source platforms and inexpensive hardware.
The attached file has the same information as the AFCN Open Source Web
page:

Some information about Open Source packages that we think are useful
for CN projects is here:

Subject: TuxMobil News 01/2004
Hello,
finally I am back from LinuxSolutions.FR in Paris, sorry for the
delay of the TuxMobil News digest. Anyway the digest for
January 2004[1] has again good news for Linux PDA, mobile phone
and laptop users. Here is an extract of the most important messages.
Werner Heuser <wehe_at_tuxmobil.org>
|=| To me one of the most important messages was about a decision
the biggest Japanese phone company has made. NTT DoCoMo canceled
the mobile phone Joint Venture with Microsoft in favor
of the Symbian and Linux operating system[2]. Also a study by
the Zelos group states "Linux headed for worldwide smartphone
domination[3]. See more about Linux on mobile phones at
TuxMobil[4].
|=| The MAC-OS X applications on Zaurus project[5] seeks developers.
Dr. H. Nikolaus Schaller reports progress in the mySTEP project to run
MacOS X applications on the Sharp Zaurus. And Gentoo is now
available for the Zaurus Linux PDAs[6].
