MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., July 29, 2002 - Continuing to increase its presence in the government marketplace, Securify, Inc., a pioneer and leader in network security policy solutions, today announced a strategic partnership with Dataline, Inc., a leading government solutions provider. As part of this relationship, Dataline will leverage Securify SecurVantage™, the industry's first system to enable enterprises to automatically ensure that their complex networks properly implement and comply with business-driven network security policies, to introduce new policy-based security solutions for existing and future government customers.

About Securify SecurVantage
Securify's SecurVantage product enables enterprises to easily and cost-effectively ensure that their complex networks properly implement 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 these requirements, 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 can 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, which aggregates and analyzes data across an enterprise.
