A software-based Web application firewall called DotDefender(TM) is deployed as a Web server plug-in to identify and stop attacks that attempt to exploit vulnerabilities in Web applications.

The Textron Generic Token-Based Access System (GTBAS) is a database- driven application that facilitates integration via a “virtual handshake” between third-party Internet applications and a company’s user authentication. This integrated system allows parties to share authentication information by encrypted tokens, rather than each party managing user access information separately. Companies can autonomously control information while securely sharing just what’s needed to make applications work together seamlessly.
