Seattle, WA – November 12, 2007 – Latitude Technologies, Inc., a leading provider of Portal Technology and Security Assessment services, today announced version 1.0 release of its Sentry Security Components.

Commonly, large organizations share information across various departments. Portals have become a common way for departments to collaborate and share information with internal personnel, external partners, and customers. Security for these technologies has lagged. Latitude fills this niche by providing a security toolkit that ensures security best-practices are adhered to and corporate assets are protected. The basic five aspects of secure computing - Authentication, Authorization, Asset Handling, Input Integrity, Auditing, and Logging are ensured with the Sentry Toolkit™. Utilizing the built-in power of NetFusion and Sentry, companies can leverage the capabilities of the pre-built components and continue to safely store and manage their critical business data, while empowering employees to use the single access point of the NetFusion Portal Framework. The business value to Latitude's customers centers around increased employee collaboration, productivity, and a reduction of task redundancy on a secure network.

Latitude Enterprise Sentry Toolkit was designed on the Microsoft .Net Platform and uses standards-based web services to provide true enterprise application integration and security. The Latitude Enterprise Sentry Toolkit currently consists of several security-based components: I/O Integrity, Single Sign-On (SSO) Authentication & Authorization, Cryptographic Asset Managers, and Application Diagnostics. These components are specifically designed to address the five key areas of application security.
