Austin, TX {June 9, 2004} Pragma Systems, Inc., a leading provider of enterprise class Windows servers for Microsoft platforms, introduces the Pragma Fortress product line to enhance the security of Windows 2003/2000/XP by providing a comprehensive suite of products and access which protects large deployments of Windows based enterprises. Pragma Fortress protects customers’ network security against network intrusions, identity theft, unauthorized data access, hacking, virus and worm attacks.
Fortress is built with the popular secure shell (SSH) protocol, the de-facto industry standard for remote access and file transfer. The Fortress product line’s comprehensive offering consists of: Fortress Server (SSH server and secure file transfer server), Fortress Client Suite (an essential package of management tools along with secure shell graphical client and secure file transfer graphical client) and Fortress for Handhelds (PocketPC and Palm SSH client).

Pragma leads the way of fully integrating with Windows Active Directory NTLM authentication support in the Fortress line allowing customers seamless access to any number of Windows Servers across an enterprise without having to re-type their password or access credentials by using a single sign-on method. Pragma added the NTLM authentication to coincide with the certificate or password authentication options. Pragma Fortress product line is built with the latest Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003 compiler technology, resulting in high performance servers and highly secure code.
