DESCRIPTION

Aladdin is a provider of security solutions that reduce software theft, authenticate network users and protect against unwanted Internet and e-mail content, including spam, viruses and spyware. Its security products are organized into two segments: Software Digital Rights Management (DRM) and Enterprise Security. Aladdin's Software DRM products allow software publishers to protect their intellectual property and reduce software theft and piracy. Its Enterprise Security solutions enable organizations to secure their information technology assets by controlling who has access to their networks (authentication) and what content their users can utilize (content security).

TECHNOLOGY

SOFTWARE DIGITAL RIGHTS MANAGEMENT (DRM):
HASP Software Digital Rights Management (DRM) is a family of products that provides software vendors and publishers solutions to protect, license and distribute their products. In addition to preventing unauthorized use of software, HASP protects software copyrights and intellectual property, and enables creating innovative licensing, sales and pricing models. The family includes: HASP HL – a cross-platform (Windows/Mac/Linux) hardware-based solution for protecting and licensing software running on stand-alone computers; HASP HL Net – a cross-platform (Windows/Mac/Linux) hardware-based solution for protecting software and managing licenses in network environments; HASP TT – a software-based solution for creating secure, controlled trial versions.

INTERNET AND ENTERPRISE SECURITY:
eSafe 5 is a gateway-based, integrated content security solution and service that: proactively protects networks against viruses, spyware, worms, spam and non-productive content; enables real-time inspection of Internet traffic without reducing network performance; reduces the risk of P2P, IM, security exploits and blended threats; and enables lower total cost of ownership with an integrated, modular design. eSafe can be easily and quickly deployed with its Virtual Appliance software, transforming any server into a full content security solution.

eToken is a fully portable USB device the size of an average house key that can be used to generate and provide secure storage for passwords, digital certificates, secure authentication, digital signing and encryption. eToken is based on Smartcard technology but requires no special readers. A single eToken provides a set of ready-to-use security solutions meeting all authentication needs (web access, VPN access, and network logon), and providing laptop and file security. Token assignment, deployment and personalization within an organization are easily managed via the Token Management System (TMS), based upon Active Directory(R).
