-
CHICAGO, January 9, 2006 - Aladdin Knowledge
Systems Ltd. (NASDAQ: ALDN) the worldwide leader in Software Digital Rights Management
(DRM) and USB-based
authentication solutions, and a leading innovator in enterprise secure content
management (Enterprise Security), today announced
it has joined Microsoft's Virus Information Alliance (VIA), an information sharing
group consisting of the industry's leading anti-virus software vendors.
-
Founded in 2003, the VIA stands as an effective forum for sharing technical information
about viruses and worms that affect Microsoft products and customers. Members of
the VIA continually exchange valuable technical information on newly discovered
viruses so that Microsoft can more quickly communicate to customers their targets,
impact and methods of remediation.
-
"Aladdin is pleased to work with Microsoft as a member of this valuable alliance,
as our Content Security Response Team will be actively
participating in the sharing of information regarding the propagation and impact
of viruses," said Shimon Gruper, vice president of technologies for the Aladdin
eSafe Business Unit. "Through membership in the VIA, Aladdin takes another significant
step in assisting the public as fast and as accurately as possible when an outbreak
occurs."
-
"Microsoft is pleased to work with Aladdin and all the VIA members to provide customers
with the information they need to help protect themselves from malicious threats.
Security is an industry wide issue, and Microsoft is committed to continuing to
work closely with industry partners toward the common goal of improving security
for all computer users," said Stephen Toulouse, security program manager of the
Security Response Center at Microsoft Corp.
