Advanced Technology
The basis of all SecureAgent Software® products
SecureAgent® utilizes TCP/IP networks for remote connection. Now technical support staff can telecommute and monitor operations from home or while
they are on the road. This allows them to quickly trouble-shoot and implement solutions...from anywhere in the world.
SecureAgent enables users to remotely establish a secure connection to
another SecureAgent computer system, using any TCP/IP network.
SecureAgent can best be defined as a family of products, with each piece working together to provide the most secure connectivity available.
Technical Profile
Secure Name Servers
To break into a system, you must first know where to find it on a network. Typically, each time a PC dials into a TCP/IP network (such as the Internet
or an Intranet), that machine is randomly assigned a new and dynamic IP address. This ability to "hide" an IP address from unauthorized users is one
of the key elements of solid security.
SecureAgent was created to enable a Windows® NT server to continually maintain a refreshed directory of remote locations, and provide tight security around the distribution of that information.
Encryption & User Authentication
Built directly into SecureAgent are
a combination of patented and patent-
pending processes including encryption, compression and user authentication:
- Encryption is applied to all data transfer at extensive levels.
- User Authentication implements a request-challenge-response before
any connection can be established. This requires the user to enter a
unique ID and password, which must be approved by the target machine. As part of a patent-pending logon procedure, user combinations are REVOCABLE by a remote administrator.
One type of authentication is a fixed combination that must be validated.
This requires both a user ID and password, which have been registered with SecureAgent on the target machine, to be confirmed on the target machine before the request for connection is honored.
NOTE: Both user ID and password may be locally, or remotely, changed by an administrator
at any time.
ServiceVision
Our ServiceVision product provides all of the above security features and more. For more information regarding ServiceVision security features, click

Secure Programs
In addition to secure name servers and the connection procedure, SecureAgent also includes programs that utilize our own industry standard OCX controls (perfect for use with any language that supports 32-bit, such as Microsoft™ Visual Basic®, Visual C++, and Delphi Pascal):
- Secure File Transfer -- Designed to provide a way to transfer files from one machine to another over a secure connection, and offer verification that transfer was successful. The File Transfer program (and all other SecureAgent programs) requires the user to provide a user ID name and password that is checked for validation on the server side.
- Secure TelNet -- Allows you to establish a secure connection to a SecureAgent server and browse its directories and files. From your
remote location, you may also enter DOS commands that will be carried
out on the server as if they were being entered locally.
- Secure Name Service (SNS) and Monitor -- This program was originally designed to work in conjunction with a SecureAgent Name Server,
allowing the reporting and retrieving of IP addresses used in establishing remote connections. It has since been enhanced to graphically display
all users that have access permission (color-coded by age since their
last connection to the server) and their operating status.
- Remote Control of an NT® Server -- At the heart of SecureAgent's functionality is the Remote Control program, which allows an administrator to remotely connect to a SecureAgent server, establish user access permissions and privileges, change passwords, force disconnect users,
view and modify settings and statistics for the server, even stop and restart it.
