October 30, 2001 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Tripwire Inc. (www.tripwire.com), a leading provider of data and networking integrity solutions, announced Tripwire for Routers and Switches, a data and networking integrity product that provides real-time detection and restoration of router and switch misconfigurations and attacks.

Building on the success of its award-winning Tripwire for Routers, Tripwire

for Routers and Switches broadens network protection and change control to

another key infrastructure component - catalyst switches - instrumental in

directing the flow of network traffic. In addition to its current support

for Sun's Solaris operating system, this product has expanded its supported

platforms to include Microsoft Windows NT and Windows 2000.

"Unintended change to critical network infrastructure is becoming

commonplace as network complexity increases and IT resources dwindle. The

unfortunate consequence for many companies is widespread network outage

resulting in a loss of revenue and productivity," said W. Wyatt Starnes,

president and CEO of Tripwire. "Tripwire for Routers and Switches provides

IT with a powerful tool to ensure that these increasing errors don't

compromise critical resources, or a company's bottom line."

Designed to reduce the average amount of time network administrators spend

isolating, diagnosing and restoring altered routers and switches from hours

to minutes, Tripwire for Routers and Switches monitors router and switch

startup and running configuration files, pinpoints changes, and manually or

automatically restores routers and switches to a known and trusted state

reinforcing best network security practices. The software can monitor

thousands of routers and switches from a single workstation.

Tripwire for Routers and Switches captures all router and switch

configuration changes, enabling IT to establish a change control record for

IT auditing or forensic investigation. The first version of Tripwire for

Routers and Switches is designed for Cisco devices running IOS software. The

software also provides an integral layer in networking security

infrastructures. Its ability to conduct instant reporting and rapid

remediation ensures confidence in the integrity of critical infrastructures,

and increases the ability to quickly detect and recover from events that can

cause router down time.

"Due to FDA requirements and government network audits on pharmaceutical

manufacturing companies, it is essential for me to have the ability to

control and validate both our router and switch configurations at any time.

Immediate accessibility to network configuration changes is even more

critical because our network is managed by a third party," said Ozzie

Kuscan, network manager, Lonza Group Ltd. "Tripwire for Routers and Switches

provides the level of control I need by enabling me to be proactive in

knowing what is occurring on the network."

Tripwire for Routers and Switches key features include:

Integrity Check and Restore

Displays router status and enables users to quickly restore routers and

switches to a trusted state.

Configuration File Change Tracking

Captures router and switch configuration changes to assist in network audits

or forensics investigations. This is a core component to a cohesive security

and configuration management practice.

Accessibility Check

Provides an alert message and can also use email messaging to facilitate

rapid remediation, 24x7.

Encrypted Pass Phrases and Privilege Levels

Provides application security with pass phrases that discourage hacking

attempts.

Simple Installation

Enables IT to begin monitoring routers and switches within an hour.

Tripwire for Routers and Switches runs on Microsoft Windows and Sun Solaris

servers with simple CD-based installation. The software is available

immediately for Cisco routers and switches utilizing IOS version 11.3, 12.0,

and 12.1. Prices start, at $2900 for five licensed router connections, which

include Tripwire for Routers and Switches Software, and Standard Support and

Maintenance in North America. Exact pricing is based on the number of router

and or switch connections. Customers can easily scale the software by

purchasing additional licenses over the Web for just $249 per Router or

Switch.
