News: Search with Internal, Granular, Alert Capabilities Premiered
San Jose, California - (Website Hosting Directory) - February 5, 2007 - Identity Intelligence solutions firm, PacketMotion, has installed new granular search and alert capabilities into its application. According to the company, for the first time, IT professionals may collect and analyze all activity in an enterprise network, as well as search and alert on information down to the filename level in real-time.
With these new capabilities, detailed data including file names, applications, and user/server names collected by PacketSentry is fully searchable and PacketSentry's alerting feature allows for automatic notification when specific directories or files are opened, forbidden applications are used, or thresholds are exceeded. Full search capabilities enable IT professionals to see with a couple of clicks all users who have accessed specific files or directories, or identify at a glance all the files opened by a particular user. Thus, IT professionals can proactively track and monitor illicit internal network activity, including employee and third party breaches and theft, as well as meet compliance requirements and enforce business policies.
Paul Smith, CEO of PacketMotion remarked, "The increased incidence of illicit network activity continues to cause widespread IT and legal hurdles for many organizations. PacketSentry's new features address the growing demand for easy-to-use monitoring tools that will help enterprises identify illicit network activity real-time and protect their intellectual property."
Chris Liebert, Senior Analyst, Security Solutions and Services of the Yankee Group added, "Protecting intellectual property is top of mind for businesses today due to the increase in remote access to the network and not knowing with certainty who is on the network, and because of policy and regulatory requirements. Vendors need to deliver a centralized view of network activity and data to manage that intellectual property protection because the more granularity businesses can get into these views, the more likely are they to protect their assets."
PacketSentry's Identity Intelligence solution provides security professionals with a centralized, top-to-bottom view tracking who's doing what with data and applications on the network. The PacketSentry solution is comprised of the PacketSentry Probe 1000 and the PacketSentry Manager. The Probe 1000 utilizes the company's proprietary Virtual Proxy Engine to analyze and interpret all network conversations collecting only the most critical and relevant data. PacketSentry then correlates all the collected data so that information is presented at the user and application level, not the packet or port level. This approach allows PacketSentry to store information much longer than alternative products -- multiple years rather than weeks -- using far less storage capacity and simultaneously makes that information much easier to review and report on by eliminating the clutter and extraneous data. The PacketSentry Manager processes information from all the Probes to provide a comprehensive database of network information for easy reporting and management.
With PacketSentry businesses increase their ability to protect intellectual property ranging from employee records to engineering patents. Packet Motion's unique Identity Intelligence approach has proven particularly successful for security and policy related applications such as investigative forensics, compliance auditing and network usage reporting.
PacketMotion is a secure identity intelligence solution for the enterprise. The company's PacketSentry solution was developed to enable IT professionals to transparently view who is doing what with the information on their networks in real time. Its Virtual Proxy Engine(TM) analyzes each network conversation, distilling out only the critical meta data. This makes it practical for businesses to track long-term network usage, with retention policies based on business needs not budgetary or storage constraints. As a result, businesses can guarantee the safety of their intellectual property, identify and control internal security threats to ensure internal and external compliance without burdening their network operations.

News: Hosted Blog and Wiki Business Engine Service, Near-Time Premium, Debuts
New York, New York - (Website Hosting Directory) - February 2, 2007 -
Hosted service for revenue opportunities with customers and business partners, Near-Time, Inc., has debuted a paid membership service, designed to provide an alternative to ad supported web content.
Hoped to give organizations of all sizes a way to package and sell expertise and content via paid access to online collaborative spaces, Near-Time Premium's goal is to provide an opportunity for organizations to profit from collaborative services and knowledge bases. From publishers and authors, to service providers and consultants, academic institutions, and membership organizations, Near-Time Premium opens the door to a whole new turnkey business model.
John Blossom, President and Sr. Analyst of research firm Shore Communications, Inc. remarked, "Blogs and Wikis make it easy for individuals and organizations to publish, share content, and build communities and knowledge bases. Yet revenue opportunities have been limited to those that either have existing global brands and/or the massive traffic required to make advertising pay. Now, Near-Time is launching an alternative approach with Near-Time Premium that gives almost anyone a way to tap into long tail opportunities by making it easy to charge for access to exclusive content and forums.''
Greg Balanko-Dickson, President and Founder of Business Performance Coaching commented, ''Near-Time has been a great platform through which I've been able to consult and share valuable knowledge with my clients. With the addition of the paid membership feature, I will now be able to monetize my expertise and create a thriving e-commerce site in which I can transcend collaboration to package and sell white papers and reports on business plan development, mergers and acquisitions, and project management.''
Blogs and Wikis have emerged as collaborative platforms for creating content, and for sharing expertise and opinions. However, there have traditionally been limited opportunities and technology hurdles for those seeking to get paid for their knowledge, and for access to the sometimes copyrighted content contained in these communities. With the paid membership feature, Near-Time Premium becomes the first one-stop platform where publishers, authors and service organizations can easily set up a weblog or Wiki, publish their content, share files, interact with clients and readers, and charge subscription fees. Users are free to decide what they want to charge for subscription plans.
Reid Conrad, CEO of Near-Time added, "Near-Time Premium delivers a revenue engine for organizations of all types and sizes looking to commercialize interaction and information. It is the answer for organizations looking to build sustainable business models leveraging Web 2.0. We are enabling the services industries to easily monetize their time and knowledge.”
Near-Time Premium is a hosted platform that provides the necessary tools to launch commercial publishing and collaborative marketplaces. Complete with integrated Wiki and weblog authoring tools, and file sharing and task management capabilities, groups can foster rich environments for commercial interaction. The platform offers a range of tools to support and build customers' brands via a broad range of tools for customizing the look and feel of collaborative spaces as well as domain name mapping. As a hosted platform, no hardware is required and e-commerce services are built-in and turnkey. Customers focus on the content and communities, while Near-Time provides a secure, world-class service infrastructure.
Near-Time Premium spaces can be private, semi-private or public. Users are free to decide which content to monetize, and which to make publicly available. Roles and permissions services enable users to set different levels of interactive relationships at different price points. Near-Time spaces can be configured to offer members complete interaction, limited authoring and editing capabilities, or to simply allow members to read and comment on content. From collaborating with experts on Wikis to merely charging a reader to access premium content and files, users can create as many premium spaces as they would like – each with different interaction and economic models.
Near-Time endeavors to bring collaboration, content, knowledge and task management together. Near-Time integrates weblogs and Wikis with Web technologies to enable groups to work together more effectively in a secure, hosted platform. Users can share information, files and create group calendars. Near-Time is in use in over 40 nations by hundreds of businesses, academic institutions, government agencies and non-profit organizations to maximize internal and external collaboration.

Livonia, Michigan - (Website Hosting Directory) - February 2, 2007 - B2B e-commerce solutions company, MessageWay Solutions, Inc., has been chosen to service telecommunications services firm, Ventelo Norge AS of Kristiansand, Norway.

Greg Faubert, President of MessageWay Solutions added, "Ventelo is key for MessageWay on a number of levels. First and foremost, it is gratifying to have our solution selected by a company of the stature of Ventelo. But what's also important is that it expands our presence in a region that is known for being a sophisticated technology market. We hope to do more in Norway and throughout the Nordic region."
MessageWay Solutions, Inc. endeavors to enable global 2000 enterprises and service providers to implement secure, seamless trading relationships between their trading partners and their internal applications.
