MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., July 15, 2002 - Securify, Inc., a
pioneer and leader in network security policy solutions, today
announced that Sonnenschein, a leading U.S. law firm, has
selected Securify SecurVantage™ to automate the network
security management capabilities of its corporate network.
By automating this critical functionality, Sonnenschein can
now centrally manage and monitor its security infrastructure
to ensure the privacy and confidentiality of its corporate

with company policies and government regulations.
Securify SecurVantage™ is the industry's first system

networks operate properly and comply with business-driven
network security policies.
"Sonnenschein has invested heavily in its security infrastructure,

engineer for Sonnenschein. "SecurVantage is an innovative
new solution that creates a synergy between our network and

return on its security investment."

and we are pleased to have them as a Securify customer,"
said Mark Hangen, president and CEO of Securify. "As

and decrease risk."
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,
SecurVantagecontinuously 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.
