OPENCONNECT INVITED TO SPEAK AT RSA SECURITY’S WORLDWIDE SALES CONFERENCE
Jim Kinchley Will Present a Detailed Overview of OpenConnect’s Successful Partnership with RSA Security

DALLAS, TEXAS (January, 2005)— OpenConnect Systems, Inc., the pioneer of secure mainframe-to-web solutions, today announced that Jim Kinchley, OpenConnect’s Northeastern District Sales Manager, will give a presentation at RSA Security’s Worldwide Sales Conference on January 19th in Boston, Massachusetts.

Mr. Kinchley’s presentation will give RSA Security’s sales team a brief overview of OpenConnect’s history, the value of legacy systems, and how OpenConnect and RSA Security are currently working together to provide mutual clients with a secure web access management solution.

The unique combination of RSA ClearTrust and WebConnect SSO fills a serious gap in the secure SSO connectivity space. With WebConnect SSO the mainframe becomes an RSA ClearTrust software protected resource within the enterprise. Once a user has been authenticated and granted access by RSA ClearTrust software, WebConnect SSO takes over to seamlessly and securely complete the sign-on process into multiple host systems and applications - all with a single click on a Web page.

WebConnect is client-server based software that provides secure browser based emulation to mainframe, midrange and UNIX systems. WebConnect SSO extends the powerful features of WebConnect and delivers secure single sign-on access to multiple mainframe applications. OpenConnect has received RSA SecurID and RSA ClearTrust Certifications, which validate WebConnect SSO’s interoperability with RSA Security’s array of identity and access management solutions. These certifications signify that WebConnect SSO complies with and takes full advantage of RSA Security’s market-leading security technologies.
