Software Upgrade Brings New Levels of Flexibility and Ease of Use To Instant Secure Remote Access and Communications

RSA DATA SECURITY CONFERENCE, SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA (January 18, 1999) … Anyware Technology, Inc. today announced that it has upgraded its powerful EverLink™ instant secure communications and remote access software. Available immediately, this new version of the EverLink Suite provides new features that include easy installation and start-up with a new set-up wizard, and user interface enhancements that can bring the benefits of instant secure remote access and communications to an even wider audience. A peer-to-peer solution, the Java™-based EverLink application brings new levels of flexibility and ease-of-use to private and secure electronic mail, file transfers and real time instant messaging over Wide Area Networks (WANs), the Internet or intranets.

"Our EverLink Suite already provides organizations with a security solution that is enterprise compatible, flexible and cost-effective," said Dahlia Rehg, director of marketing at Anyware Technology, Inc. "With the latest product developments, we’ve really transformed EverLink into a powerful business solution. EverLink provides organizations with the ultimate tool for giving users an easy to use instant communication and access method, while still safeguarding the security of the network and the enterprise."

User Enhancements
EverLink is now configured to be user-focused, rather than feature-focused. The new set-up wizard allows total installation in less then ten minutes. The new user interface reduces training time and enhances productivity, and gives users the flexibility to easily configure the software to meet their individual needs. Users can create buddy lists, instantly view the status of other users, and easily send and receive messages, files and documents.

Communication is instant and secure, because EverLink is a peer-to-peer connection and doesn’t require routing communications through a server. EverLink also provides the capability to remotely access data and communicate with another authorized user through a Web browser, eliminating the need to install client software on the remote user’s system.

EverLink’s Direct Conversation™ feature allows two EverLink users to hold an instant messaging session in real time with full privacy and security. Sessions are authorized through digital certificates and protected by SSL. The Direct Conversation feature of EverLink delivers instant business messaging as a strategic business tool.

Benefits to the Organization

EverLink is an affordable, secure alternative or complement to many other methods of providing remote network access, including dedicated leased lines, remote access servers (RAS), VPNs, and direct dial-up.

EverLink enables systems administrators to authorize individual user access to designated areas of information behind the corporate firewall, rather than granting all admitted users universal access to the entire network. This distinguishing feature provides unprecedented control over network access from both inside and outside the organization’s firewall.

EverLink utilizes advanced security technologies including passwords, secure transport with Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), x.509 digital certificates, activity logs, RSA^® data encryption and security level up to 168-bit.

Price and Availability
EverLink is available immediately and is sold exclusively through Value Added Resellers and Systems Integrators. EverLink is sold in a variety of license configurations, depending on the number of users, making it configurable for companies of all sizes. For example, prices range from $845 for 25 users, $4,195 for 200 users, $15,995.00 for 5,000 users, and $19,995.00 for 10,000 users. Additional pricing information is available from Anyware Technology or through the company's channel partners.

EverLink Client runs on Microsoft Windows NT, Windows 95/98, Sun Solaris, Macintosh and IBM OS2. EverLink’s EntryGuardä Server runs on Microsoft Windows NT and Sun Solaris. A 60-day free trial version of EverLink Client can be downloaded from the company’s Web site at www.anywaretechnology.com.

About EverLink
Anyware Technology’s EverLink Suite is comprised of two integrated security-certified components:

• The EverLink Client establishes a virtual office home page for direct computer-to-computer links between authorized users, verifies passwords and authenticates users before it allows communication. To eliminate the danger of interception, all access is peer-to-peer through SSL.
• EntryGuard Server protects internal networks from unauthorized access while allowing authorized users to communicate securely and privately with specific sites inside the firewall. EntryGuard also logs all transactions across the firewall, adding an additional layer of security. The server lists the addresses for EverLink users’ office home pages, authenticates the client’s EverLink Owner’s Certificate, and offers global search capabilities.

In addition, EverLink Suite is bundled with a free 30-day demo of Aladdin Knowledge Systems’ award winning anti-virus/anti-vandal software product, eSafe Protect Enterpriseä.
