e Merge Browser Managed Security Platform

1. eMerge Browser Managed Security Platform Security and IT Convergence: Challenges and Opportunities

2. The Convergence of Security and IT Presents Challenges and Opportunities Today’s corporate users are looking for partners and products that can work in the new network environment • How we work today won’t allow us to be successful tomorrow • There are new decision makers involved • CIO, IT Manager, Network Engineer, CSO • There are new concerns that must be addressed • Encryption, bandwidth, network integrity, firewall access • Yesterday’s products are not designed to address these concerns

3. Today’s discussion • Security is moving to the network • Network topology and standards can provide many benefits and should be embraced • Other products were not designed for the network and do not take advantage of these benefits • eMerge was developed for the network with one goal in mind • Use available networking technology and standards to create a secure fully-scalable integrated system that lowered installation, operation and support costs while bringing current expected functionality to the marketplace • Today we’ll review eMerge and how you can begin to take advantage of the enormous benefits that come from the network topology and systems integration

5. Technology Limitations of Today’s PC Based Systems • PC Applications are not services running on the network • are difficult to manage, especially remotely • Today’s PC based security applications require a substantial training investment, often 3-5 days of a technician’s time. • PCs have an MTBF of less than two years • Windows operating system requires frequent updating for security patches • highly specialized skills and training to manage properly. • Cause constant service calls to “re-attach” / re-program communication and networking issues

6. Technology Limitations of Today’s PC Based Systems • Windows Virus issues • There were over 5,000 separate viruses introduced into the windows environment in the first 5 months of 2004 • Walter Mossberg, Wall Street Journal, January, 2005 • New/Updated Anti-Virus software can stop communications • Controllers use proprietary serial data communication • slow and uses insecure formats like Telnet • Network connectivity requires cumbersome adaptors like gateways that add cost and make data security difficult. • Integration potential is limited because controllers are ONLY able to communicate to a communications server within the PC application network.
