SECURIFY DEBUTS SECURVANTAGE ENTERPRISE REPORTING
Quantitative Network Security Information Optimizes Secure Business Operations
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., December 9, 2002 - Securify, Inc.,
a pioneer and leader in network security policy solutions,
today announced the addition of rich reporting functionality
to its flagship SecurVantage™ software suite, the industry's
first automated network security management system. Part of
the SecurVantage Enterprise module, SecurVantage Enterprise
Reporting provides customers with quantitative data in a convenient
format they can use to evaluate the effectiveness of their
network security and make optimal decisions on how best to
allocate limited resources to achieve maximum security.
With SecurVantage Enterprise Reporting, chief security officers
and security architects can present the status of their network
security in a form that's easily understandable by business
managers. Standard reports can depict an enterprise's total
security policy compliance as well as security performance
broken down by functional area, such as by geographic location
or application. Subsequent reports can be used to gauge effectiveness
of new business and operational initiatives. Other standard
reports include top violators, top targets and network object
performance. All reports can be run daily, weekly and monthly
as needed and presented in a variety of formats, including
html, PDF and Microsoft Excel, to meet specific usage requirements.
Reports may be generated from as much data as an organization
cares to keep archived and available, from months to year's
worth of network behavior history.
"Much like the CFO presenting the state of the business
by division or product line, SecurVantage Enterprise Reporting
lets the security officer present the state of the network
by functional area on a security compliance and performance
basis," said Mark Hangen, president and CEO of Securify.
"Armed with this quantitative information, business managers
can make better resource allocation and operational decisions,
focusing their resources on where they are most needed. SecurVantage
Enterprise Reporting fills one of the largest gaps in security
today."
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 and presents it in a variety
of reports. 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.
Availability and Pricing
SecurVantage Enterprise Reporting will be available January,
2003 as a standard feature of the SecurVantage Enterprise
module. Existing SecurVantage customers will receive an updated
version of the software including SecurVantage Enterprise
Reporting as part of their routine maintenance release. SecurVantage

and configuration. Please contact Securify for detailed pricing
