Market Wire, 20050229

Internet Dynamics Inc., the leading provider of centralized access control and integrated intranet/extranet security solutions, today announced the launch of Conclave SE. Conclave SE is an entry level version of the Conclave Extranet-in-a-Box solution that won the Best of Show Award at Networld Interop in the E-commerce category.

Conclave SE, with prices starting below $300, offers the key benefits of the standard Conclave product with an easier installation and simpler administration. Installing only as a stand-alone firewall with Extranet capabilities, Conclave SE includes: High level policy management; Policy scheduling; Delegated Administration; Multiple forms of authentication; Fine grained access control; VPN capabilities using IPSec manually pre-shared secrets; Firewall with NAT, stateful packet filter, application proxies; and bundled IPSec/IKE clients.

"Firewalls by themselves are rapidly becoming commodities. There is no reason to fight that trend", said Myril Shaw, Vice President for Global Channels at Internet Dynamics, Inc. "Rather, by offering an incredibly valued entry point, we encourage the appropriate use of extranet and security technology at the low end, for the small user, while providing an easy migration path to Internet Dynamics' centralized access control and integrated network security and VPN products for the large enterprise."

In another change, Conclave SE is available for purchase directly from the new Conclave store at store.conclave.com . "Buying Conclave SE is a simple decision and it should be an easy process," said Mark Wrenn, Internet Dynamics' Director of Product Management. "A comprehensive yet easy to use firewall and extranet solution must be readily available to everyone. The Conclave store makes Conclave SE easy to obtain."

Conclave SE enables even the smallest organizations to gain the benefits of policy based access control. It also provides a seamless upgrade path to move easily into the full Conclave product family and then to begin to take advantage of Conclave's centralized access control products.
