Eliminates the Gap Between Awareness and Action to
Maximize Protection Against Cyber Threats
SAN FRANCISCO, RSA Conference, Feb. 24 /PRNewswire/ -- iDEFENSE(R) and
Archer Technologies today announced a partnership to develop the next
generation of enterprise security management solutions, built on highly
actionable intelligence. The agreement brings together the only independent
cyber security intelligence provider with a global leader in comprehensive
enterprise security management solutions to deliver a powerful application
with the ability to measure and assess the potential risks associated with
emerging threats against any organization's technology assets.
Global 2000 and government organizations have invested heavily in highly
effective security technology tools, such as anti-virus software, firewalls
and intrusion detection systems. However, as cyber threats become increasingly
aggressive, sophisticated and frequent, integrating emerging threat
intelligence and analysis into these tools is critical for ensuring that
organizations protect networks before attacks are even launched.
Together, iDEFENSE and Archer Technologies will meet these complex needs
with a customizable, scalable solution that can be deployed quickly and cost-
effectively in networks of any size. The companies will jointly integrate,
market and sell the solutions to organizations that must secure and protect
their enterprise with maximum manageability.

face every day by providing the most timely, comprehensive intelligence and
mitigating countermeasures," said John Watters, president and CEO of iDEFENSE.
"Integrating our content into Archer Technologies' world-class solution allows
