Product Secures Individual Systems

RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, NC, - August 5, 2002 - Webfargo Data Security, Inc., a premier provider of managed security services and information protection solutions, announced today that is has developed a Host-Based Intrusion Detection solution to secure critical systems.

"Host Intrusion Detection makes a lot of sense on critical servers in a company's network," said Mike Johnson, CTO and co-founder of Webfargo. "When deployed with our Network Intrusion Detection System, Host Intrusion Detection gives our clients detailed information about suspicious activity on both their network and, more importantly, their critical systems."

Webfargo's Host Intrusion Detection Service supplements a successful product line of Managed Solutions: Managed Firewall Service, Managed Network Intrusion Detection, Recurring Security Scans, and Secure Application Service.

By closely monitoring the important files on each system, Webfargo's Host Intrusion Detection System provides a very granular picture of system activity. Suspicious events or unauthorized changes are logged and an alert is sent to both the client and Webfargo. This insures that any suspicious activity, no matter how small, is detected and reviewed.

"Our Host Intrusion Detection is just another way we help our clients to proactively address security," said Mike Johnson, "which is ultimately the best way to prevent a security incident."
