IBM Bolsters Its SecureWay Offerings

DASCOM acquisition includes advanced access control technology

To strengthen its leadership position in e-business and security solutions, IBM has acquired DASCOM™, Inc., an industry leader in Web-based and enterprise security technology. The acquisition will enable IBM to leverage DASCOM’s access control technology portfolio and expertise in Internet and intranet security.

Having pioneered the concept of access control and centralized authorization services for network applications, DASCOM technologies are already helping companies safely connect their systems to the Web while securing both internal and external transactions. Combining this innovative technology with IBM’s leading-edge SecureWay product line will ultimately provide even more flexible and powerful security solutions to help companies protect their electronic assets as they move to develop closer online relationships with their customers.

Technology from DASCOM’s flagship product for enterprise and Web-based access control and authorization—IntraVerse™—is now available as part of IBM SecureWay Policy Director and SecureWay FirstSecure, an integrated security solution for e-business. DASCOM will operate as a wholly owned subsidiary of IBM.
