In brief: Entercept unwraps intrusion prevention software

Entercept has announced an updated version of its host-based server intrusion-prevention software, Entercept 4.0, which adds support for the HP-UX and Solaris 9 operating systems. Entercept also has redesigned its software to follow a three-tier, rather than a two-tier, management architecture so that up to 5,000 servers running Entercept can be managed from one console, as opposed to 1,000 servers previously.

Entercept 4.0, which is priced starting at $1,300 per server, includes wizards to create customized rules and role-based global administration. www.entercept.com

NetIQ last week announced Version 2.0 of its VigilEnt Password Manager. The software automates password management and provides self-service password reset and creation capabilities to users. NetIQ acquired the product when it bought PentaSafe last October.
