Belgium, Zaventem, September 8, 2005 - Funk Software, a leading provider of network access security solutions, today announces that RSA Security has licensed a specialised version of its market-leading RADIUS/AAA server Steel-Belted Radius® for inclusion in RSA® Authentication Manager v6.1.
Steel-Belted Radius provides the RSA Authentication Manager software with a secure 802.1X-compatible RADIUS server, allowing customers to easily manage token-based access to the network (via wireless LAN, remote/VPN or wired 802.1x connections). Steel-Belted Radius lets enterprises enforce a uniform network access security policy, regardless how a user connects.
"As companies ramp up wireless network deployments, there is an increasing need to ensure that data is strongly protected," says Karl Wirth, director of product management at RSA Security. "Integrating Funk Software's Steel-Belted Radius with RSA Authentication Manager software, will secure our customers' corporate assets."
"Strengthening network security is top of mind for virtually all of our customers," says Johan Custers, European Operations Director of Funk Software. "Our work with RSA Security will make it easier than ever for customers to integrate RSA two-factor authentication technology into their wireless networks and enjoy the strong authentication security that this system provides."
RSA Authentication Manager 6.1, which includes a specialized version of Steel-Belted Radius, will be available worldwide in September of 2005. For more information on this version and on how to upgrade to a full version of Steel-Belted Radius, visit www.funk.com/rsasecurity.
