Computer Associates delivers proactive security software for eBusiness with eTrust Internet Defense

Computer Associates International, Inc. (CA), the world`s leading eBusiness solutions provider, has announced eTrust Internet Defense, the first integrated solution to protect eBusiness from potentially destructive cyber attacks and security breaches.

eTrust Internet Defense redefines the essential elements of Internet security to include intrusion detection and a coordinated policy. It delivers a set of tools that detect, analyze, warn, prevent and cure any attack-including malicious mobile code, worms, viruses or intruders and hackers attempting to destroy, deface or bring down eBusiness.

A recent study by PricewaterhouseCoopers estimates the damage of these attacks at nearly $1.5 trillion this year alone.

"Recent denial of service attacks have clearly shown that antivirus software and firewall solutions alone cannot fully protect eBusiness," says Simon Perry, CA vice president, security solutions. "Without a proactive and comprehensive security solution, any eBusiness is subject to attack. eTrust Internet Defense delivers the ability to manage risks associated with opening access to internal systems vital to conducting business. "

Available through CA and its channel partners, eTrust Internet Defense offers a solution to a start-up eBusiness and also operates within the existing security infrastructure of larger IT systems. Products can be licensed separately or as an integrated solution suite. eTrust Internet Defense includes
