SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Secure Computing Corporation (NASDAQ:SCUR), the experts in securing connections between people, applications and networks(TM) today announced the immediate availability of SafeWord(R) PremierAccess(R) 4.0 offering tight integration with Microsoft Active Directory and a perfect fit for companies who want to adopt identity and access management using their existing Microsoft Windows infrastructure. E[acute accent]In today's regulatory environment, it is a company's obligation to protect and manage access to corporate data and mission-critical applications. Access begins with identity, and SafeWord PremierAccess strong authentication establishes proof-positive identity for all users accessing trusted network resources. SafeWord provides a highly secure, easy-to-use passcode system that replaces the static passwords that many companies still use today. E[acute accent]PremierAccess is a key component of a complete Identity and Access Management (IAM) solution that addresses the challenges organization's face in providing secure anytime, anywhere access to applications, data and network resources for every person who accesses the network - from employees and administrators to business partners and customers.

E[acute accent]With tight integration to Microsoft Active Directory, SafeWord PremierAccess 4.0 is designed to work especially well in Windows environments. Companies can plug PremierAccess into their existing Active Directory infrastructure and instantly administer strong authentication using the Microsoft tools that they already use and know. This allows them to meet their obligations to provide secure access to data with the least impact on cost. E[acute accent]"We've had overwhelming success across many vertical industries such as financial services, healthcare, state and local government and real estate, since first focusing on Microsoft in our SafeWord family of products," said Jay Goldlist, vice president and general manager of Identity, Access and SMB Products for Secure Computing. "The common theme in these successes is our ability to have the lowest impact on the customer's existing infrastructure and ongoing costs. The release of PremierAccess 4.0 follows our recent launch of SafeWord(R) SecureWire(TM), a complete Identity and Access Management appliance. Secure Computing is now uniquely positioned in offering the industry's premier solutions for extending and defending customers' networks and applications." E[acute accent]The SafeWord PremierAccess 4.0 release expands Microsoft support with Windows Domain login and support for Terminal Services login, helping to extend authentication capabilities for internal users and users in remote locations. As customers roll out strong authentication, they can also rely on the PremierAccess Enterprise Solution Pack (ESP), which provides advanced user management, powerful reporting functionality, feature-rich access control, advanced Web-based user self-enrollment, and support for a wide range of authentication form factors. E[acute accent]PremierAccess 4.0 is immediately available through partners worldwide.
