Enterprise Security Survey: Network Administrators are Comfortable with Security at Their Organizations, but Concerned About Their Users

SecureCRT 5.0 adds new tabbed interface, improved session management, and initial support for IPv6

Albuquerque, N.M. (March 1, 2005) — When VanDyke Software™ began designing the next version of SecureCRT®, they did what they have done since releasing the CRT™ terminal emulator nearly ten years ago—they listened to their customers. SecureCRT is the tool of choice for thousands of network professionals around the world, combining a feature-filled terminal emulator with the security of the Secure Shell (SSH) protocol. Over the years, VanDyke's customers have clamored for a better way to manage the connections they create to a variety of servers and network devices.

Today, VanDyke Software released a public beta of SecureCRT featuring a tabbed window interface and other enhancements to respond to these requests.

"Tabs help me keep my workspace organized, move around faster, and enhance my productivity," wrote Christias, an alpha tester from Greece, in the discussion forum VanDyke set up for early testers. "I can organize groups of sessions, it's easier to switch between them, and my desktop is now neat and tidy."

Other new features include the ability to create different firewall configurations for each session, initial support for the IPv6 standard, and improved integration with SecureFX®, VanDyke's secure file transfer application.

A fully-functional evaluation copy of SecureCRT can be downloaded from the company's web site: www.vandyke.com. Evaluators have full access to VanDyke's expert technical support to assist with installation, configuration, and testing.
