MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., July 15, 2002- Securify, Inc., a pioneer
and leader in network security policy solutions, today announced
that Centerprise Advisors, Inc.'s IT Risk Management Services
Group (the SACteam™), a leading provider of comprehensive
IT audit and security solutions, has selected Securify SecurVantage™

and implement effective policy-based security systems for
its customers' complex technology environments.
Securify SecurVantage is the industry's first system to enable

policies, and is an ideal companion to the SACteam's IT risk
management services.
"In addition to assisting us with our internal policy

enhances our customer-based IT risk mitigation services by
providing a real-time network traffic analysis tool for assessing
actual IT security against intended security policy,"
said Jeffrey M. Zalusky, founder and director of the SACteam.
"We are impressed with the Securify value proposition,
and expect their cutting-edge technology to become an integral
part of our professional security services."

that stringent network security policies are adhered to as
systems communicate and share critical information with internal
users and outside business partners," said Mark Hangen,
president and CEO of Securify. "We are excited to partner
with the SACteam, and look forward to working closely with
them as they continue to introduce Securify SecurVantage to
their customers to ensure that online traffic does not jeopardize
company assets."
About Securify SecurVantage
Securify's SecurVantage product enables enterprises to easily
and cost-effectively ensure that their complex networks operate
properly and comply with business-driven network security
policies. Using SecurVantage, enterprises can create a formal
set of requirements - a "policy" describing the
"correct" behavior of the network - based on corporate
security policy and business practices. Using the policy,
SecurVantage continuously evaluates, in real time, the packets
moving across the network at all levels of the protocol stack,
and makes decisions as to whether or not the traffic is consistent
with the customer-defined policy. This information is then
clearly presented in a Web-based analysis environment, in
a format specific to the business.
The SecurVantage solution provides detailed information on
all aspects of network security, including network topology;
applications and services for logical network groups; and
asset vulnerabilities. Additionally, trend reports based upon
policy violations help security administrators assess specific
areas of network operation. These reports include: violation
trends by host group; root cause analysis of recurring events;
total traffic and violations by type of service; device configuration
status; access procedure compliance; service status by host
group; and quality of service for encryption and password
strength.
Securify SecurVantage consists of Securify SecurVantage Studio,
the policy development and analysis environment; Securify
SecurVantage Monitor, the monitoring and evaluation system;
and Securify SecurVantage Enterprise, the aggregation system
that allows customers to analyze data across the enterprise.
