ANYWARE TECHNOLOGY SHIPS EVERLINK ™, THE WORLD'S FIRST PERSONAL VIRTUAL PRIVATE NETWORK SOFTWARE

EverLink Suite Transforms The Internet Into A Secure, Peer-to-Peer, Cross Platform Communications And Remote Access Solution

CITY OF INDUSTRY, California -- October 19, 1998 -- Anyware Technology, the company that introduced the concept of the personal Virtual Private Network, today announced the immediate availability of EverLink™, a software-based solution for secure communications and remote access. The Java™-based application provides organizations with a peer-to-peer solution for private and secure electronic mail, file transfers and instant messaging over Wide Area Networks (WANs) or the Internet.

EverLink integrates Java technology with 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.

The demand for secure communications and remote access solutions is increasing, and EverLink provides the ideal solution. EverLink is an affordable, secure alternative to dedicated leased lines, remote access servers (RAS), VPNs, direct dial-up or other methods of providing remote network access. EverLink also provides an additional security layer for organizations currently using these other access methods.

EverLink differs from traditional Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) by providing the ability 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 gives system administrators control over network access from both inside and outside the organization’s firewall.

In addition, EverLink’s communication capabilities extend the functionality of the product far beyond that of other access or VPN technologies. EverLink offers whole new levels of access and authority, even down to a specific file on a specific system. The product supports file transfer, email and other transactions through the familiar interface of a standard Web browser – all protected by EverLink’s security features. This makes EverLink the most powerful and secure remote access and communication tool available today.

"IT executives and business managers are looking for a secure method of using the Internet to extend their reach to mobile workers, suppliers, partners and customers," said Glenn Hunter, vice president of marketing and sales at Anyware Technology, Inc. "Our EverLink Suite provides organizations with a security-enabled, personal VPN that is enterprise compatible, cost-effective, and easy to implement and maintain."

Some of the benefits associated with using EverLink include:

• Cross-platform connectibility
• Interoperable with multiple firewall products
• Requires no additional investment in networking hardware
• Supportive of strict enterprise security policies
• Easy implementation and administration
• Easy scaleable deployment
• Minimal end user support
• Standards compliance
• Lowers telecommunications networking costs

Three Integrated Security-Certified Components

To eliminate the danger of interception, all access is peer-to-peer through SSL.
• EverLink LocatorOne™ lists the addresses for EverLink users office home pages. LocatorOne allows an address to be listed after authenticating the client’s EverLink Owner’s Certificate and it also offers search functions.
• EverLink EntryGuard™ protects internal networks from unauthorized access while allowing authorized users to communicate securely and privately with specific sites inside the firewall.
