MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., and KANSAS CITY, Mo., May 6, 2003 - Securify, Inc., a pioneer and leader in network security management, and FishNet Security, one of the country's largest network security integrators, today announced a strategic alliance to advance network security compliance, ensuring the myriad security devices and policies within an organization actually accomplish the protection they were designed for. Through the partnership, FishNet Security will employ the Securify SecurVantage™ automated network security management system for the rapid assessment and baselining of an organization's security posture, and as the cornerstone of their comprehensive enterprise network security solutions.

The Piranha Team, FishNet Security's information security assessment division, will employ Securify SecurVantage to quickly reveal the effective security policy resulting from an organization's actual security operations, highlighting the differences between the security described in the narrative security plan and the security actually being achieved by routers, firewalls and other network defenses. Unlike traditional security auditing - a subjective assessment that focuses on historic results captured as a snapshot in time - SecurVantage enables the Piranha Team to provide FishNet Security customers with a continuous, objective and measurable picture of actual changes in data traffic to expose potential security lapses.

"SecurVantage is a valuable addition to our arsenal of security weaponry, delivering a real-time picture of how well a network is behaving from a security perspective, and quickly pinpointing where potential problems may lie," said Gary Fish, CEO of FishNet Security. "As the overall compliance monitoring and policy management component for our end-to-end enterprise network security solutions, SecurVantage gives us the competitive advantage of being able to ensure these systems continue to deliver the security they were designed for, despite the network's ever-changing nature."

As the cornerstone of compliance monitoring for FishNet Security's network security solutions, SecurVantage continuously monitors, measures and analyzes the security of a customers' extended, complex networks easily and cost-effectively by assuming all network traffic is prohibited unless it conforms to what the enterprise defines as acceptable. Applying sophisticated, patented technology that collects data around the clock regarding the security status of the entire network, SecurVantage can verify that an organization's security infrastructure is operating as it was designed to, and report on the security posture of the business.

"We are pleased to have one of the nation's premier information security integrators endorsing our unique approach to security management by making it a key ingredient of their security strategy," said Mark Hangen, president and CEO of Securify. "As today's announcement highlights, SecurVantage continues to gain acceptance in the marketplace as an effective way to ensure the efficacy of complex network security implementations and policies."

As part of their value-added reseller agreement, FishNet Security will integrate SecurVantage into its comprehensive, custom-designed network security solutions, as well as provide the necessary professional services to support it.

Securify SecurVantage
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. Using SecurVantage, enterprises can 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, 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 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. 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.
