PRESS RELEASE OnePass/400, a new AS/400 Telnet Security Tool FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE April 8, 2000 Mt Kisco, New York - Kisco Information Systems announces the immediate availability of OnePass/400, a new Telnet Security Tool for the IBM AS/400. OnePass/400 closes a Telnet security exposure on the AS/400. The AS/400 has a very nice Telnet feature that allows connection to the AS/400 from any network client using Telnet software. The security exposure with this, however, is that Telnet does not hide user profiles and signon passwords. Anyone using "sniffer" software on the Internet can pickup user profile and password information from users connecting to an AS/400 via Telnet. OnePass/400 covers this exposure via the addition of a second level password needed to complete a Telnet signon to the AS/400. The second password is a single use password that automatically expires as soon as it is used. The user profile passwords are still not hidden, but since a password sequence is automatically disabled as soon as it is used, it cannot be reused by an unauthorized person. User profiles must be enrolled in OnePass/400. Only those users who want to connect via Telnet need to be enrolled. OnePass/400 can also be configured to recognize signon context so that the additional signon password is only requested when absolutely necessary. OnePass/400 includes a history log that records all operations within OnePass/400. Users can view or print the log to track activity within the software product. OnePass/400 is available as a separate product now. It will also be integrated into Kisco's SafeNet/400 product in a future release as an extra charge option for those looking for more robust Internet security. OnePass/400 costs $895.00 and is available for free trial from Kisco Information Systems. A trial copy can be downloaded from the Kisco Website at http://www.kisco.com/onepass.htm.
