OPENCONNECT TO PARTICIPATE IN RSA PARTNER PAVILION AT RSA CONFERENCE 2004

Company to launch new version of WebConnect and WebConnect Single Sign-On at the event.

DALLAS, TEXAS (February 3, 2004) — OpenConnect Systems, Inc., the premiere supplier of secure Mainframe-to-Web solutions, today announced they will showcase an all new version of WebConnect and WebConnect SSO at the RSA Conference 2004, February 23-27, 2004. OpenConnect will demonstrate the latest enhancements to these secure Mainframe-to-Web access solutions in booth #719 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, CA.

WebConnect is client-server based software that provides secure browser based emulation to mainframe, midrange and UNIX systems. And WebConnect SSO extends the powerful features of WebConnect and delivers secure single sign-on access to multiple mainframe applications. WebConnect SSO complies with and takes full advantage of RSA Security’s market-leading security technologies.

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.
