DEFENSE INFORMATION SYSTEMS AGENCY (DISA) DEPLOYS SECURIFY SECURVANTAGE™ TO MONITOR COMMAND AND CONTROL NETWORKS
A Step Forward in America's Global War on Terrorism
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., April 9, 2003 - Securify, Inc., a
pioneer and leader in network security policy solutions, today
announced it has signed a contract with the Defense Information
Systems Agency (DISA) to deploy the SecurVantage™ product
suite in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. By integrating
with the military's command and control networks, Securify
SecurVantage will provide operational commanders with greater
information assurance through a significantly increased situational
awareness of the command's overall network operations security
posture.
Use of the Securify SecurVantage system will help ensure
the operational integrity and availability of command and
control networks in what has come to be known by defense analysts
as an integral component to "net-centric" warfare.
The SecurVantage product suite chosen by DISA includes SecurVantage
Studio, the policy development and analysis environment; SecurVantage
Monitor, the monitoring and evaluation system; and SecurVantage
Enterprise, the aggregation system that allows customers to
analyze data across the enterprise and generate detailed reports.
"The DISA deployment provides combatant commanders with
relevant, real-time security information. The SecurVantage
product line delivers a key requirement for network security
- a significantly enhanced information assurance network operations
picture to the war-fighter," said Carl Wright, vice president
of federal operations for Securify. "We are proud to
be playing an active role in aiding our government's fight
against terrorism, and look forward to working closely with
DISA on this and future deployments."
About Securify SecurVantage™
Securify SecurVantage is an automated security management
system that enables customers to rapidly generate security
policies, monitor networks for compliance and produce relevant,
actionable information. This software solution consists of
an advanced environment for policy development and security
analysis, a real-time monitoring system to continuously verify
conformance to security policies and a centralized management
and trend reporting system. The SecurVantage solution is driven
by a customer-specific policy that formally describes the
desired operation of the network.
Using SecurVantage, organizations create a formal set of
requirements network traffic must comply with -- 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, all 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 policy. This information
is then clearly presented in a Web-based analysis environment
in a format appropriate to the specific 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.
