I just wanted to let you all know about nFront Security, Inc...the new bad boy on the block for network security software solutions. Here's a short description.

nFront Security develops innovative solutions to increase network security, protect data integrity and save administrators time.  Our security software products are used worldwide by Fortune 100 companies to increase security and achieve SOX, HIPAA and PCI compliance initiatives.

Our primary software solution is call nFront Password Filter. It was previously marketed by Altus Network Solutions under the name Passfilt Pro. nFront Security was created as a branch from Altus to independently maintain and develop software solutions specific to network security and management.

A short description of nFront Password Filter is below.

nFront Password Filter is a password policy tool that prevents the use of weak, easily hacked passwords for Windows Active Directory and SQL Server users.  nFront Password Filter allows network administrators to create and enforce multiple granular password policies within a single Windows domain.  nFront Password Filter can reject non-compliant passwords before they are allowed on the network.  nFront Password Filter can scan a new password against over 2 million common passwords in less than 1 second.  Also included is a client that lists the user’s specific password policy rules, can dynamically gauge password strength and will give exact reasons for a failed password change.  All configuration is done via Group Policies (GPO) and the design contains no single point of failure and no “password policy server.”  nFront Password Filter is used by many companies to meet SOX, PCI and HIPAA password compliance requirements.
