LinuxSecurity.com: We are interviewing Dave Wreski, founder and CEO of Guardian Digital, Inc. Guardian Digital is perhaps best known for their hardened Linux solution EnGarde Secure Linux. EnGarde is touted as the premier secure, open-source platform for its comprehensive array of general purpose services, such as web, FTP, email, DNS, IDS, routing, VPN, firewalling, and much more. In contrast to most Linux distributions, which try to be everything to everyone, EnGarde is focused exclusively on being an extremely secure, powerfully functional, multi-purpose server. This dedicated focus is unique in the notoriously feature-oriented open-source community. LS: Your company, Guardian Digital, has been featured on our site numerous times. You, personally, have also been so kind as to share your security expertise with our readers. Can you explain a bit about your company and the offerings you provide? Dave Wreski: Guardian Digital is dedicated to providing enterprise and small business customers with inherently secure business-critical Internet solutions. We provide everything from web services to email to intrusion detection to VPN services to proxy caching all designed with security as the primary concern. Recognizing the fact that network security can no longer be an afterthought, our solutions provide embedded security at every level of design, providing the bulletproof security corporations need without sacrificing the functionality they desire.
