FIFTH GENERATION SYSTEMS ANNOUNCES S.A.F.E. 2.0 

Secure Access Facility For The Enterprise (S.A.F.E) Provides
Enterprise-Wide Security For PCs Connected To Networks and Mainframes

Baton Rouge, La., May 18, 1993 -- Fifth Generation Systems today announced
Secure Access Facility for the Enterprise (S.A.F.E.), a powerful new
security utility that combines stringent C2-functionality with
enterprise-wide management features. S.A.F.E. operates under DOS, Windows,
Novell Netware, Banyan Vines, IBM PC-LAN, and Microsoft LAN Manager. The
product began shipping May 14, 1993.

Featuring common password sign-on, a patented file encryption scheme, and
central site administration, S.A.F.E. is the first platform-independent
microcomputer security solution to provide enterprise-wide security for
PCs connected to networks and AS400 mainframes.

"As organizations continue the trend of downsizing mission-critical
information from mainframes to the local desktops of distributed networks,
it is imperative that they find solid, efficient means of protecting the
integrity and availability of that information," said Barry L. Bellue,
Sr., president and CEO. "However, security for companies using multiple
computing platforms can become a nightmare. S.A.F.E. eases the transition
of information flowing to the desktop and assures its confidentiality. It
is an administrator's dream as it provides multi-platform protection as
well as strong, centralized, administrative capabilities."

Features of S.A.F.E. include:

* Common Password Sign-on - allows users to logon once to their secured PCs
and to automatically pass identification information on to the LAN server
and/or mainframe. This unique function eliminates multiple log-on
procedures across a multi-tiered computing environment, reducing the need
to remember several IDs and passwords.

* Trusted Computing Base Architecture - According to the National Computer
Security Center, security mechanisms can be classified as "trusted" only
if the code which implements them is protected from modification.
S.A.F.E.'s security mechanism meets this definition, providing users with
a rigorous security foundation that can withstand targeted insider attacks
and those by experienced hackers.

* Patented File Protection - S.A.F.E. uniquely attaches a protected label
to every encrypted file, indicating the owner of the file, users who can
access the file, and the access rights each individual has to the file.
This label functions independently of DOS and travels with the encrypted
file across the network, on floppy diskette, or via modem, assuring total
information confidentiality. The program supports both a proprietary
encryption scheme and DES. Decryption occurs on the fly, as protected
files are accessed.

* Multi-User Support - supports a company-wide security officer, system
administrator, one guest user, and up to 32 loggable users per PC, in
addition to groups. Administrators can fully define access rights for
individual users as well as establish individual computing environments
through the creation of custom AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files.

* Centralized Administration - System administrators can build, update, and
transport custom security configurations from a single desktop.

* Discretionary Access Control - enables administrators to custom define
and control user access to individual files, limiting accessibility to the
data on a "need-to-know" basis. S.A.F.E. provides seven different types of
file rules including full access, read/write, read only, execute only, and
no access. Administrators can limit file access by individual user, group,
machine, and configuration.

* Exhaustive Auditing - provides full auditing that allows the
administrator to preview, print, and export 14 standard activities,
including any security violations, access methods, and specific machine
activities.

* Additional Features - S.A.F.E. supports a permanent delete feature, which
overwrites a hard disk area according to government specifications; an
option to prevent the use of utility sector editors; and an automatic
screen blanking feature which activates after a period of system
inactivity.

"S.A.F.E. represents a significant break-through in data security
technology," said Vicky Gore, senior product marketing manager. "Now
organizations can secure their entire enterprise with a-single
solution-that operates across multiple platforms. With its robust feature
set, S.A.F.E. simplifies the sharing of confidential information between
departments, improves user productivity, and helps keep the cost of PC
security administration low."

S.A.F.E. requires an IBM PC/XT/AT, PS/2, or compatible, DOS 3.3 or higher,
640KB of RAM, and 3MB hard disk space. The program is Windows 3.1
compatible, provides mouse support, and supports networks, including
Novell. S.A.F.E. is available through distributors, corporate resellers
and VARs at a suggested retail price of $295. Site licenses, GSA pricing,
and educational discounts are available.
