OPSWAT and SkyRecon Systems Announce Technology Partnership

OPSWAT enables detection and assessment of SkyRecon Endpoint Security technology.

San Francisco and Sunnyvale, CA (PRWEB) June 5, 2007 -- OPSWAT, Inc., a leading provider of endpoint security integration development tools, and SkyRecon Systems, the premier provider of integrated, proactive endpoint solutions, today announced a technical partnership that enables OPSWAT to extensively support SkyRecon products in its OPSWAT Endpoint Security Integration SDK (OESIS™).

SkyRecon's StormShield is the first proactive, multi-layer, real-time defense system for network endpoints. StormShield addresses every aspect of endpoint protection, from intrusion prevention to application and device control, to content encryption, all through a single agent. With StormShield, endpoint policies are enforced on each workstation, protecting them from hackers, malware or even users with admin rights. Moreover, these policies can be dynamically switched and changed depending on the connectivity context, the current user or the health assessment of the machine.

The OPSWAT OESIS is an open framework for developing products that detect, assess, manage and remediate multiple endpoint security applications. Using a simple object-oriented interface, OESIS provides a comprehensive API for controlling, managing and checking the behavior of hundreds of security solutions from 50 vendors. OESIS customers include leading SSL VPN and Network Access Control vendors such as Aventail, Juniper Networks, f5 Networks, Lockdown Networks and Cisco Systems.

The partnership allows OESIS customers to develop products that can detect the presence of StormShield on each network endpoint, thus securing the network by insuring that users remain protected and up to date on the most recent versions of the product.

"Our partnership with SkyRecon Systems enables OESIS support for key properties and operations of StormShield endpoint agents," said Tom Mullen, Director of Business Development at OPSWAT. "Because of this partnership, our customers' products will have enhanced capability to support the many end-user organizations standardized on SkyRecon Systems applications."

"OPSWAT is recognized today as the world's leading provider of endpoint assessment integration technology," said Philippe Honigman, President and COO of SkyRecon Systems. "Through this partnership, network access control and VPN vendors will lower the cost and dramatically increase the speed of integration between their host checking solution and StormShield".
