Products

Argus develops markets and supports a variety of enhanced system security software products ranging from component modules to turn-key special-purpose secure solutions. The basic products of the company are described below.

Decaf for Java
A unique, user-installable software utility package that allows users and administrators to 'quarantine' personal, sensitive, or mission-critical resources from access by Java applets or other network-borne programs and agents. This simple utility provides total assurance that downloaded programs cannot maliciously assault Decaf-protected resources which may include static files, system files, executable files, system utilities, and devices. Decaf takes the worry out of executing 'unsanitized' programs regardless of origin and allows administrators to establish safe domains for Java execution.

Enhanced Security Modules for Solaris 2.4
Argus offers a suite of user-installable security utilities that are used to enhance the systems security features of Solaris 2.4. These modules support both SPARC and Intel versions of Solaris 2.4 and are being ported to the PowerPC version with release slated for second quarter 1996. The Argus suite provides a flexible and scalable response to users' varying security requirements from enhanced C2-level controls to high-end B1 Multi-level security for stand-alone servers or an entire network of PCs, workstations and servers. The Argus modules are undergoing government sponsored security evalutations to internationally recognized Information Technology Security Evaluation Criteria (ITSEC) in the United Kingdom. The following modules comprise the Argus security module suite for Solaris 2.4 or higher:


These modules form the basis of two bundled product suites for Solaris 2.4 or higher:

Security Engineering Services

Argus products have been in operational use in numerous customer environments for five years. Real-world experience gained through millions of hours of operational use is engineered into the Argus enhanced security utilities for Solaris 2.4. Argus has incorporated state-of-the-art improvements which significantly enhance the ease of use, applications support, system performance, and platform and peripheral device support of the Solaris product line.

Argus offers a comprehensive set of training and professional services to help customers transition to enhanced operational security paradigms. Argus customers can choose from a wide range of pre-packaged, secure systems engineering programs which cover the full range of operational requirements from early security analysis to long-term life-cycle maintenance and support. Some of the customer support services offered by Argus are:

Argus provides complete support for its products and is committed to evolving its products as the base Solaris operating system technology evolves. As SunSoft releases upgrades to the Solaris operating environment, Argus will follow with Argus product support for the upgrade. Argus's products will evolve according to strict security rating maintenance guidelines in order to ensure that Argus customers are continually offered systems which fully comply with appropriate security rating criteria.

Argus Fortify Security Framework

Fortify is a commercial adaptation of the Argus government-certified enhanced Security modules for Solaris product suite. Argus has repackaged the ITSEC-certified security modules into an integrated security software suite that supports a more commercially-oriented user interface and more flexible security configuration mechanism. Additional configuration flexibility is needed to support the wider range of security requirements found in commercial enterprises. Nevertheless, this additional flexibility in no way diminishes the security of the fortify framework.

Fortify supports systems ranging from Pentium-based desktop PCs to high-end multiprocessor UltraSPARC enterprise servers. Fortify makes an ideal secure computing platform for a variety of commercial needs including electronic commerce, banking and finance, and health care information systems. The Fortify security framework is already employed in banking environments to support secure information kiosks and remote, internet based banking.

The Fortify security framework is composed of the following security modules:
