Subject: LinuxSecurity.com Debut


February 12, 2000 -- Upper Saddle River, NJ, USA -- Responding to the
rising demand for Linux security information, LinuxSecurity.com aims to be
"The Linux Community's Center for Security."  After an extensive period of
planning and development, LinuxSecurity.com the vision is now a reality.

The rising need for security information and solutions has grown
exponentially in recent years.  The Linux and Open Source security arena
is progressing at a lightning pace.  Many Security professionals believe
that the free software strategy that Linux employs provides a superior
vehicle for which to improve security.  LinuxSecurity.com is focused on
being at the center of a process of distributing relevant news,
information, and product updates to ensure the secure use of Open Source
operating systems and products.

The site layout is set up in such a way that it makes finding Open Source
security-related information easy.  Sifting through the information posted
all over the Internet can be a tedious and very time-consuming task.
LinuxSecurity.com helps position security professionals toward obtaining
the advantage against potential attackers.

More specifically, the site is organized in the following fashion:

Advisories -- This section includes security advisories from all major
Linux and BSD distributions, as well as advisories issued by vendors that
products that run with Linux and BSD.

News Articles -- Current security news stories and events that directly
affect the Open Source community.

Feature Stories -- This is an area where a community member or
organization can review or discuss a security product they have recently
released for the Open Source community.  We also invite articles on how to
implement a specific security feature or other security tips.

Guardian Digital, Inc., an upstart Open Source security company and
primary sponsor of LinuxSecurity.com, provides consulting, installation &
support and computer security services to businesses looking to use the
Linux Open Source operating system.  LinuxSecurity.com is intended as a
pro-Linux and Open Source site that strives to provide objective and
helpful information for the general Linux and Open Source community.
