Altus Network Solutions was founded by Gregg Branham in November 1997. Gregg is the author of Windows NT Domain Architecture as well as many magazine articles.

Gregg has taught Windows, TCP/IP and Cisco courses for companies all over the world. In January 1998, Altus released SPCheck, the first product of its kind to check all Windows machines for security patches and generate a web-based report. In 2003, Altus introduced Passfilt Pro, a security product for Windows domains that eliminates weak passwords and ensures strong internal security.  In 2007, Altus created a new division named nFront Security to move forward with the sale and advancement of Passfilt Pro and new software security products.
