The RealSecure Workgroup Manager Release, Network Sensor, Server Sensor, and RealSecure Server Sensor 6.0 are available at: http://www.iss.net/eval/eval.php ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE: RealSecure Release 6.0 is a full release ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- New RealSecure releases include: � RS Workgroup Manager 6.0 for Windows NT/200 � RS Network Sensor 6.0 for Windows NT/2000 � RS Network Sensor 6.0 for Solaris 2.6 � RS Network Sensor 6.0 for Solaris 7 � RS Server Sensor 6.0 for Windows NT/2000 RealSecure Workgroup Manager Release 6.0 includes many new features: A. Increased Scalability through the new 3 tiered Architecture that includes a new middle tier called the Event Collector, as well as improvements to the overall communication channels between components. B. New Enterprise Database support with MSDE and Microsoft SQL C. Report Criteria that allows pre report filters to be run. For example-- limiting reports to specific Target or Source IP addresses. D. Remote Key administration that allows for the remote administration of Crypto keys on the sensors. E. Ability to revoke Master Status allows specified accounts to forcibly take master status. F. Increased Sensor Management Scalability through: -Sensor Lists (allows console to open lists of sensors with a single click) -Clearing of Events -Executing Command and Configuration to groups of sensors. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- RealSecure Server Sensor 6.0 and Network Sensor 6.0 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Multi-sensor support. You can now protect your Network Sensor computer with Server Sensor. Network Sensor 6.0 and Server Sensor 6.0 can be installed on the same computer for extra protection. You can also install two Network Sensors on the same computer to have each monitor separate segments. (Please Note: Only use this configuration for segments with very, very low bandwidth.) RealSecure Server Sensor 6.0 provides automated protection and ease of use through implementation of a dynamic blocking response to defend the system against high priority attacks and improved validation to reduce false positives. The new features include: A. Support of the new and improved RealSecure 6.0 scalable architecture. Architectural conversion of host sensors to the RealSecure CSF architecture. B. Improved validation through the integration of Vulnerability Assessment into Server Sensor. Server Sensor will use vulnerability information to reduce false positives, alter the severity of an event, add vulnerability information to an attack alert, and allow automatic response to events that have been validated. ** Note: This release includes minimal System Scanner technology that can run simple validation checks, but does not assess all types of vulnerabilities. For comprehensive host-level security, System Scanner should be used. C. Dynamic blocking. When triggered by an event, this new feature continues to block all traffic from that IP address for a defined period of time. Network probes and DoS attacks automatically trigger dynamic blocking by default.> D. Binary Log Enhancements. The Server Sensor extends its log monitoring capability with the ability to monitor binary logs used to support UNIX accounting. E. New platforms. Solaris 8 for Server Sensor allows customers to extend protection to more servers. F. Optional installation of the network monitoring component of the server sensor. --------------------------------- IMPORTANT NOTES: Please read ALL the release notes located in the FTP site. New System Requirements are available also. Due to necessary further testing, RealSecure Server Sensor for Solaris 2.6, 7, and 8 will be delayed for release and posted in June 2001. RS Network Sensor 6.0 for Nokia is currently being certified by Nokia and will also be available in June 2001. Note that this delay is normal and will typically last no more than 2-4 weeks. Thanks for your patience on this, and a HUGE congrats to our development, QA, and technical writer team in getting this release done! GO ISS!
