eG Innovations make key security enhancements to its product suite.

(PRWEB) December 15, 2003 --eG Innovations, Inc. the leading provider of integrated network, system, application, and service monitoring software, today announced that the eG performance monitoring product suite has been enhanced to support secure communication using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption. This key modification is targeted at security-conscious
verticals like the financial sector and outsourced managed services.

"Until now, many service providers have had to deploy virtual private networks (VPNs) for secure access to remote networks. Setting up and configuring VPNs is an expensive,time-consuming process. The latest enhancements in the eG suite offer significant advantages for remote monitoring across multi-domain networks. Customers can now
configure the eG manager to support SSL and all user and agent accesses over the SSL tunnel. SSL configuration is a simple process and the use of the web protocol - HTTP - over SSL ensures that customers do not have to modify their firewall rules to allow monitoring traffic through." said Srinivas Ramanathan, CEO of eG Innovations.

The new SSL capability of the eG suite offers the following benefits to customers:

- Simplified and cost-effective alternative to VPNs as a means to connect to remote client sites - Easy to provision, ideal for centralized monitoring of service providers and multi-site networks.
- Optimized manager/agent communication to minimize bandwidth usage.
- Authenticated login for individual users to a central, secure portal, ensuring that the service providers and their customers get a real-time, consistent view of the monitored infrastructure and can deliver auditable
service quality.
- Secure access to remote servers for monitoring and optional control mode so corrective actions can be initiated from a web browser.

The eG product suite with SSL capability is available immediately.
