SELinux Gets Easier with New Tresys Brickwall™ Security Suite

 Leading Experts Develop Intuitive Solution
for Configuring Enterpise Linux Security

Columbia, Maryland–January 16, 2007 – Tresys, a leader in security technology innovation and services and a primary contributor to Security Enhanced Linux (SELinux), today announced the commercial release of the Tresys Brickwall™ Security Suite – a powerful enterprise solution that makes using and managing SELinux easier and more effective.

SELinux, the best Linux security technology available, provides a rich set of security functions but IT administrators often lack the expertise needed to effectively configure and leverage these capabilities. The Tresys Brickwall Security Suite builds upon leading-edge open source technologies to provide unmatched control over these powerful SELinux security functions — without requiring special knowledge of the SELinux policy language. Tresys Brickwall allows effective use of SELinux by any Linux user without the need for extensive training or costly consulting resources.

The Tresys Brickwall Security Suite includes three editions – Standard, Professional, and Enterprise – to meet varying levels of end-user needs. With Tresys Brickwall, administrators now have unmatched ability to configure, customize, and extend the security controls provided by SELinux. With the Enterprise edition, the first-ever network management console for SELinux, administrators can apply enhanced security across an entire enterprise, allowing administrators to configure SELinux for groups of systems and apply and monitor this security remotely. Key features of the suite include the ability to define network access settings for individual programs, built-in protection for many applications and services, customization of resource and file protection settings, and the ability to create custom policy targets for new applications. The Standard Edition is a free version, while the Professional and Enterprise Editions provide scalable security for any size organization.

“Tresys Brickwall is the next step in our on-going initiative to help make SELinux widely available and easy to use for any type of user,” stated Frank Mayer, President/CTO of Tresys Technology, a well-known authority on SELinux. “Tresys is very pleased to provide this fully supported enterprise solution to help achieve that goal. Our Tresys Brickwall product nicely compliments the numerous open source technologies we have been providing the SELinux community for years. By making the power of SELinux accessible to many more people, we expect Tresys Brickwall to have a significant impact on improving enterprise Linux security on a global scale.”
