RedSeal Systems Introduces Security Risk Auditor for Auditing and Visibility Into Security Risks
 SRA Software Delivers Unprecedented Multi-Vendor Visibility Into Security
  Risk, Providing Guidance on Remediation Tactics and Ensuring Best Use of
                       Existing Security Investments

    SAN MATEO, Calif., Jan. 23 /PRNewswire/ -- RedSeal Systems Inc., a
developer of innovative security risk management software, today unveiled
its Security Risk Auditor (SRA) software, which provides instant security
audits to help determine an organization's overall security posture.
RedSeal SRA software further extends the company's security risk management
product line. It offers a view of an organization's IT security posture by
pinpointing areas of exposure and device misconfiguration, then
prioritizing remediation actions to ensure best use of resources.
    Network complexity and the need for insight into security risks spans
all organizations. Smaller enterprises may not have the resources, budget
and mature security operations processes to implement a large scale
solution. Research from Gartner Inc. shows that 60 percent of large
enterprises without best practice risk management implemented consistently
across the enterprise will significantly underperform their peers. Larger
enterprises can't afford to take that risk.
    Designed for enterprises of all sizes, RedSeal's SRA enables security
and IT administrators to self-assess their security investments and ensure
that they are leveraging existing technologies to the fullest. Based on
RedSeal's Security Risk Manager (SRM) technology, the SRA software makes it
easy for all organizations to assess security risk.
    RedSeal's SRA software measures security and business risk, pinpoints
threats and exposures, and gives users actionable information for improving
the security posture of the network. Based on an open framework, RedSeal's
SRA is designed for heterogeneous networks, working with the security in
place regardless of vendor or technology type. With RedSeal SRA software,
organizations can reduce the cost of ongoing security and network
management and increase the skills sets of current resources, while easing
their compliance burden.
    Leading information security consulting company Vigilar is using
RedSeal's SRA software to audit customers' networks during its consulting
engagements.
    "In our consulting practice, we help our clients improve their overall
security posture by reducing risk and mitigating threats against their IT
infrastructure," said Dave Shackleford, chief technology officer for
Vigilar. "RedSeal's SRA software is an easy-to-use, on-demand auditing
solution that allows us to identify areas of exposure within the enterprise
and focus our resources on correcting the most critical vulnerabilities
first."
    Designed for a single-user, RedSeal's SRA software is an affordable
solution that can be used on a limited scale as required or for security
assessment projects.
    "RedSeal is taking the lead in bringing to market a solution from which
any organization can benefit," said Brian Laing, chief security officer at
RedSeal. "RedSeal's SRA is the only solution that enables organizations to
gain actionable information about how well their security investments are
being used, providing a proactive view of an organization's security
posture."
    Interested parties are encouraged to visit RedSeal Systems at the RSA
Conference, taking place Feb. 5-Feb. 8 at the Moscone Center in San
Francisco. RedSeal will be demonstrating its award-winning product line in
booth #243.
    Pricing & Availability
    Sold directly and through select partners, RedSeal's SRA software will
be available in April 2007 for $10,000 plus maintenance and support.
