AdminForce Remote Introduces APW-1, the AdminForce Powerwall®

   Boulder, CO -- March 29, 2001 --  AdminForce Remote LLC today announced
   the introduction of a new security product which will be marketed as, the
   AdminForce Powerwall® or APW-1.
   
   APW-1 includes a unique automated intrusion report capability. The
   Intrusion Attempt Report is automatically forwarded to the client and the
   AdminForce Remote Monitoring Center. APW-1 includes a full set of
   firewall control facilities such as packet blocking rules, private IP
   address masquerading, port redirection, etc. APW-1 also includes service
   proxies for ftp, web, DNS, CUSeeMe, and more.
   
   Charles Fleming, CEO of AdminForce Remote said "network security will now
   present a new level of difficulty for intruders on networks that have
   APW-1 installed." He further said that this product "adds an element of
   offense to the security issue. Until now, Firewalls have been the modern
   equivalent of the medieval castle with a defensive siege structure, but
   firewalls do not have the ability to pour hot oil on attempted
   plunderers. The modern attackers are hidden behind a maze of network
   complexity."
   
   Quick and automated detection is part of the AdminForce Powerwall®. The
   intrusion is blocked and then followed by an automated report to the
   client. An AdminForce rapid response element is prepared to react to
   identify the source and follow up with notification of the appropriate
   Law Enforcement Computer Crime Unit if the client desires this follow up.
   
   The AdminForce Powerwall® is Linux-based and can include content
   filtering and automated reporting, if this is a client requirement. The
   genesis of the product was designed by LinuxForce, the development
   affiliate of AdminForce Remote, to meet the needs of large enterprise
   clients. The product is being brought to market at a price level that
   will make it available to businesses that previously could not afford
   this sophisticated level of network protection.
