PENTASAFE TEAMS WITH IBM TO IMPROVE SECURITY MANAGEMENT FOR IBM AS/400 CUSTOMERS

HOUSTON, August 19, 1998 - PentaSafe, Inc., a leader in the field of auditing 
and security software, announced today that it is participating in the AS/400 
System Management Partners Group, sponsored by IBM.  This program is a combined 
effort of the IBM Software Vendor Marketing Partnership and systems management 
vendors to increase customer awareness of vendor-delivered solutions and 
resources that can help them better manage their AS/400s and all the components 
of their network.   

&IBM has shown that they are now focusing on the significance of total systems 
management and security and we are happy to provide the auditing and security 
solutions,8 said Douglas Erwin, President and CEO, of PentaSafe.  

PentaSafe,s PSAudit and PSSecure products will be two of the initial products 
offered as solutions to the challenges of managing AS/400 systems, and the only 
products focused on security and auditing. 

& The AS/400 Systems Management Partner Group was recently established to 
provide timely solutions that help our customers manage their resources amid a 
rapidly changing business environment,8 said Sue Horn, director, AS/400 Systems 
Software Development, IBM.    &PentaSafe,s PSAudit and PSSecure products extend 
the security of OS/400.  They work together to assist the AS/400 customer to 
audit, control and limit unauthorized access to his systems.8 

As PCs and the Internet are increasingly being attached to the AS/400, security 
will become an even more important issue to system administrators, auditors and 
security officers.  PentaSafe allows customers to balance the risks and rewards 
of opening up their AS/400 systems by centralizing the reporting and management 
of security, giving authorized users access while denying access to users who 
are not authorized.

PC users hooked up to an AS/400 can use basic programs in Windows to access 
valuable and sensitive data.  In a security strategy, the established security 
requirements and rules become less effective as time passes.  The auditing of a 
system is critical to maintaining the integrity of the data on the system.

the AS/400. Clients include Fortune 1000 companies and Big 6 accounting firms.
