Great Bay Software's membership in TCG is part of the company's continuing commitment to interoperating with existing and emerging standards in the areas of network-based authentication, Network Admission Control, and Trusted Computing. The Company will participate in the development of next generation of open standards and technology for secure computing and contribute its expertise to support and develop information assurance technologies that will protect critical information and assets.

"We are pleased to have Great Bay Software as part of the industry influencers supporting the TCG," said Steve Hanna, Chair, co-chair of the Trusted Network Connect work group, Trusted Computing Group.
