The "NetShroud Enabled" Partner Program
NetShroud Technologies has introduced NetShroud HomeScan™, exciting
patent-pending technology that enables corporate CIOs and Security
Administrators to identify security holes in the computers of their remote
telecommuters - those who connect to the corporate network through home
office broadband connections. NetShroud HomeScan for Nessus is the
reference implementation of NetShroud HomeScan and is a complete solution
for Enterprise customers who rely on Nessus, the most widely used
vulnerability scanning tool today.
The NetShroud HomeScan product family includes:
-
NetShroud HomeScan for Nessus
-
NetShroud HomeScan Server Integration Kit
-
NetShroud HomeScan Client Integration Kit
"NetShroud Enabled" is our initiative to define the standard for enabling VA
for dynamic remote computers through the stand-alone NetShroud client as
well as NetShroud Enabled VPN clients and personal firewalls.
NetShroud offers the HomeScan server technology for licensing to
Vulnerability Assessment solution developers for integration into their
products. The NetShroud HomeScan client technology is also available
for licensing to firewall, personal firewall, VPN client, and broadband
router developers for integration into their products. Such NetShroud
Enabled host based products are able to request scanning service from any
NetShroud Enabled vulnerability assessment system, providing enhanced
functionality and value for the Enterprise.
To get a sense for the scale of the opportunity, consider the following
statistics:
-
By the end of 2003 there will be 20 million home broadband connections in
the U.S. alone (source: IDC)
-
64% (13 million) of these broadband connections will be used by
telecommuters to remotely access the corporate network (source: IDC)
-
The number of teleworkers worldwide is estimated to be 137 million by end of
2003 (source: Gartner Group)
-
According to a recent survey, the top barrier to client VPN adoption is
"difficulty in securing the remote client renders VPN solutions vulnerable."
(source: Frost & Sullivan)
-
There will be a 47% compounded annual growth rate in number of VPN units
shipped through 2008 (source: Frost & Sullivan)
NetShroud HomeScan Server Integration Kit
There are several compelling reasons to NetShroud Enable your Vulnerability
Assessment product. First, the NetShroud solution enables you to
complete your Enterprise VA story. Most VA products or managed
services offered today are aimed at identifying vulnerabilities in Internet
accessible devices such as corporate web servers as well as LAN devices such
as file or email servers. However, to complete the Enterprise VA
offering, you also need to be able to assess the computers of remote
workers. NetShroud makes this possible.
Second, NetShroud Enabling your scanner opens the possibility for
significant additional revenue from your existing customer base. The
ability to assess dynamic remote computers may even open the possibility of
reaching new markets where customers are not convinced of the need for
assessing their web servers, but the ability to scan remote computers is
compelling.
Third, adopting the NetShroud system will allow you to claim differentiation
and a competitive advantage over other VA vendors. This
differentiation also opens the door for partnership opportunities with
NetShroud Enabled host based software vendors of VPN clients and personal
firewalls.
Fourth, we have gone to great lengths to make integration of our technology
into VA systems straightforward. You can expect minimal development
investment and the possibility of getting your NetShroud Enabled product to
market very quickly.
Finally, with favorable licensing terms that are strongly coupled to your
incremental resulting revenues, you can expect to realize a strong ROI and
break even on your investment in a very short period of time.
