STANFORD, Calif., September 18, 2002 - Securify, Inc., a pioneer and leader in network security policy solutions, today lent its support to the National Strategy to Secure Cyberspace presented today by the President's Critical Infrastructure Board. Stressing the critical role security policy compliance and continuous security threat assessments will play in ensuring the plan's success, Mark Hangen, Securify president and CEO and Taher Elgamal, CTO and founder, were among a select group of attendees supporting Richard Clarke, director of the Office of Cyberspace Security, in this important announcement.

"Mr. Clarke's announcement sets an important precedent for commercial and government organizations, but now it is everyone's responsibility to ensure they are doing their part to comply," said Mark Hangen, president and CEO of Securify. "We are pleased to see this kind of leadership, and expect to work closely with our customers to enable them to improve their network security and ensure security policy compliance."

"We are working in partnership with major federal organizations to deliver the kind of policy-based network security management they need to participate in this plan," said Carl Wright, vice president of federal operations for Securify. "It is our hope this national strategy to secure cyberspace will dramatically increase everyone's awareness of the need for deploying policy-based solutions to increase security."

Formulated by industry in cooperation with the federal government, the plan is designed to facilitate technologies and practices to protect utility, communications, transportation, financial, government and other critical infrastructure components from disruption by cyber attack.

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.
