Emerging 'Real-Time Vulnerability Protection' Company Will Compete for 'Most
Innovative' Title at 15th Annual Conference
SAN MATEO, Calif., Feb. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Determina today announced that
it has been selected to participate in the RSA(R) Conference 2006 Innovation
Station. As a result, Determina will be exhibiting and showcasing its
Vulnerability Protection Suite (VPS) at RSA Conference 2006, which is being
held Feb. 13 - 17 at the McEnery Convention Center in San Jose, Calif.
Determina is one of a group of companies that has been selected to
participate in the concourse floor exhibit at the Conference and vie for the
title of "Most Innovative Emerging Company", which will be announced at the
show. As part of its participation, the company will be given the opportunity
to pitch its business plan to a prominent panel of judges during the
Innovation Station "Showdown" being held on Feb. 15 at 12:00 - 1:30 p.m. (Room
B1). The judging panel includes Asheem Chandna of Greylock Partners, Jim Goetz
of Sequoia Capital, Patrick Heim of McKesson Corporation and Robin Vasan of
Mayfield.
"RSA Conference 2006 Innovation Station program is designed to highlight
emerging companies that are poised to make a difference in the information
security industry," said Sandra Toms LaPedis, area vice president of RSA
Conference. "Determina was selected for the level and breadth of its
technology, as well as its originality and potential market impact."
Enterprises continue to battle critical issues related to new and "zero-
day" worms and hacker attacks on vulnerabilities. To date, their only defense
has been to wait for attack-specific signatures, or to deploy patches on
thousands of endpoints. In most cases, these measures are simply too late to
stop targeted, or rapidly spreading, threats. Determina VPS (Vulnerability
Protection Suite) is the only solution that offers Real-Time Vulnerability
Protection(TM), which gives customers continuous security against known and
unknown vulnerabilities, without the interoperability issues or cost
associated with reactive patching. Unlike other security technologies, VPS
protects the actual vulnerability in software, and does not force the customer
to rely on signatures, policies or training, for their protection.
"The recent Microsoft WMF "zero-day" attack, and the never-ending stream
of vulnerability announcements, demonstrate why the current patching cycle
doesn't work," said Matthew Powell, CEO of Determina. "Customers are
struggling to keep up with patching thousands of systems, while hackers are
getting smarter and faster at launching attacks against these vulnerabilities.
Determina's VPS is a game-changing advance in the security market. For the
first time, enterprise security can both proactively protect their systems,
and maintain business continuity. The concept of Vulnerability Protection
resonates very strongly with customers who have been forced to choose between
reactive patching or waiting for a signature after an attack has already
emerged."
Determina will also be exhibiting at Booth #1942 at the RSA Conference.
