Centrify Delivers DirectSecure for Next-Generation Protection of Cross-Platform Systems

Extends Windows 7 DirectAccess to UNIX and Linux Systems

SUNNYVALE, California, February 16, 2010 - Centrify Corporation, the leading provider of security and compliance
solutions to secure cross-platform data centers using Microsoft(R) Active
Directory(R), today announced availability of Centrify DirectSecure(TM), a
software solution that secures sensitive information by isolating and
protecting cross-platform systems and by enabling end-to-end encryption of
data in motion. Using DirectSecure, organizations can prevent unauthorized
access to computing resources and data, improve regulatory compliance, and
have optimal, policy-driven protection against network attacks for mixed
Windows and UNIX/Linux environments.

"Dynamic data centers contain a mix of Windows servers, UNIX and Linux
servers, and virtual servers, which going forward will increasingly extend
their reach out to services hosted in multiple cloud provider data centers,
said Phil Schacter, VP and Service Director, Burton Group. "Policy-based
access controls and secure connections are a key requirement to protect
sensitive business information and systems."

DirectSecure leverages an enterprise's existing Active Directory
infrastructure and extends Microsoft's Server and Domain Isolation technology
to UNIX and Linux systems — whether they are physical, virtual or in the
cloud. DirectSecure also enables Microsoft(R) Windows(R) 7 users to take
advantage of the Windows DirectAccess feature to securely access
non-Microsoft systems and provides end-to-end encryption and security for
those connections.

Organizations can use DirectSecure to ensure that sensitive data such as
financial transactions or credit card data is inaccessible to anyone but
authorized users connecting through trusted computers. This results in higher
levels of protection against internal or external threats — even in
situations where the attacker has a valid username and password. Unlike
network hardware-based methods, DirectSecure uses a host-based software
approach, ensuring security policies are enforced regardless of the server's
location or application protocol. Utilizing the native IPsec support built
into today's UNIX and Linux operating systems, DirectSecure provides optional
encryption of data-in-motion to address audit requirements and protect
intellectual property, without requiring changes to applications or network
topology. This makes DirectSecure the most secure, adaptive solution for
dynamic IT environments that include distributed networks, virtualized
platforms and cloud computing.

A Key Component of the Centrify Suite

Centrify DirectSecure is a component in the Centrify Suite 2010 (for more
information, see related press release, "Centrify Suite 2010 Expands Ability
to Ensure Higher Levels of Trust, Control and Compliance in the Data
Center"). The Centrify Suite 2010 is an integrated family of Active
Directory-based auditing, access control and identity management solutions
that secure cross-platform environments of UNIX, Linux and Mac systems,
workstations, Microsoft systems and applications. Centrify DirectSecure
builds on top of the Centrify DirectControl architecture, which provides the
ability to join a non-Microsoft system to Active Directory, thereby
facilitating the ability for a UNIX or Linux system to obtain a Kerberos
ticket or, with DirectSecure installed, to obtain a PKI certificate.
DirectControl also provides the cross-platform Group Policy engine that
DirectSecure leverages to apply end-point authentication policies. Other
complementary solutions in the Centrify Suite include DirectAuthorize, which
provides granular role-based security; DirectAudit, which provides user-level
auditing of non-Microsoft systems: and DirectManage, which centralizes the
discovery, management and user administration of UNIX and Linux systems.

Organizations use Centrify Suite to enforce consistent security policies
and protect against security breaches from inside and outside threat; to meet
compliance requirements by controlling access and auditing all privileged
user activity; to increase operational efficiency of IT staff by delivering a
single tool to administer user access across heterogeneous systems and reduce
calls for password resets; and to improve end-user productivity by decreasing
the number of login IDs across heterogeneous systems and applications.

Availability

DirectSecure is licensed as a component in the Centrify Suite 2010
Platinum Edition and is now available from Centrify and worldwide reseller
partners for computer end-point authentication leveraging Public Key
Infrastructure (PKI) and pre-shared keys (PSK). Computer end-point
authentication leveraging Kerberos and support for Microsoft DirectAccess is
available under the Centrify early access program.
