With FirstSecure, You’re in Control

How do you envision security? Many people envision a fortress or a castle with a moat around it—a structure designed to protect whatever is inside by keeping people out.

On the other hand, trusted e-business is all about letting people in, not about keeping people out. It’s about extending the reach of your enterprise’s data and applications to customers and business partners. It’s about making your information assets available to everyone who needs them, while securing them from those who do not.

A key element in trusted e-business is the IBM SecureWay FirstSecure Version 2 product. This new product offering protects your valuable corporate assets by using standards-based, industry-leading technology to make sure that no one can access or modify data without the proper permission.

FirstSecure makes e-business possible, because it puts the right people in touch with the right information. In the past, security was about fear. But that’s not what it’s about in the world of e-business. Today, security is about enablement.

FirstSecure combines a number of security functions to provide the most effective integrated security solution you can buy. By addressing challenges associated with cost, complexity, and the ease of application deployment, FirstSecure gives you the maximum return on your security investment.

Finally, FirstSecure is about much more than simply protecting your enterprise’s assets. Because FirstSecure provides policy-based security, it becomes a key ingredient in your overall e-business strategy. Together with our other SecureWay product offerings—offerings that enable you to locate resources, connect them, and provide secure access—FirstSecure helps extend your reach to customers, business partners, and new markets.

With SecureWay FirstSecure, security means being in control. And when you have control, you have the power to take your business anywhere you want to take it.
