Secure Passage
Abstract
In the enterprise, Auth-x will provide IT staff and network managers with the ability to tighten security by enabling improved, automated implementation of their security policy. Auth-x brings authentication and authorization down to a port level, enabling true privilege-based management of network services. When deployed on a large scale, Auth-x becomes an important moderator for Internet traffic. In fact, in a few years, it will be hard to picture the Internet with out it. Auth-x puts security managers in control.
