WASHINGTON, DC, and MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., October 22, 2002 - Securify, Inc., a pioneer and leader in network security policy solutions, and Centerprise Advisors, Inc.'s IT Risk Management Services Group (the SACteam™), a leading provider of comprehensive IT audit and security solutions, today announced a partnership to provide the Auditing Compliance Engine (ACE) service. An integrated security auditing program, ACE combines the regulatory compliance knowledge and professional service expertise of the SACteam’s IT auditors with the power of Securify’s SecurVantage™ to help government, financial and healthcare organizations ensure their complex, dynamic networks maintain acceptable levels of security in compliance with applicable regulations.

Unlike traditional security auditing -- a subjective assessment that focuses on historic results captured as a snapshot in time -- ACE provides a continuous, objective and measurable picture of variances in actual network traffic in order to expose potential security problems. The ACE model reveals the effective 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 the customer’s security infrastructure.

"ACE is the first tool on the market to provide organizations with the ability to continuously monitor standards-driven regulatory compliance in real time, and is a quantum leap forward in tying compliance needs to network design and application deployment," said Jeff Zalusky, director of the SACteam. "We believe that everyone with a stake in cyber security, whether it’s the CIO, the IT security manager or the audit director, benefits from the use of ACE."

"The ability to respond to existing and emerging regulations and to mitigate the associated risk is directly correlated to the health of an organization's information architecture," said Carl Wright, vice president of federal operations for Securify. "The unique, real-time auditing capabilities we provide through SecurVantage facilitate our team's ability to ensure organizations maintain regulatory compliance as their complex, dynamic networks evolve."

The SACteam and Securify will be demonstrating ACE in booth 728 at the SANS Security Conference October 23rd and 24th at the Washington, DC Convention Center.
