immixTechnology to Make Lockdown Solution Widely Available Through GSA
Schedule
WASHINGTON, July 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Today at the Government Security Expo
and Conference, Lockdown Networks, Inc. (TM) (booth 3245), the leader in
appliance-based vulnerability management solutions, announced its offering for
a comprehensive, government-wide regulatory compliance system. A combination
of Lockdown's Auditor and DataSafe products, the new compliance system ensures
government and government-associated agencies meet the requirements governing
safe operation and testing of their information technology systems.
immixTechnology, a premier provider of enterprise technology to the government
that manages the complexity of doing business in the government by providing
contract management and business development support to its select technology
vendors, will carry Lockdown's solution through its GSA Schedule, GS-35F-
0330J.
To lead this effort, and the company's other government initiatives,
Lockdown appointed Rick Peterson to Director of Federal Sales. Peterson
brings with him over fifteen years of experience in the information security
industry, including involvement with the introduction of firewall technology
and as an independent FISMA reporting contractor. Peterson will utilize his
vast expertise to help oversee Lockdown's sales, business development and
marketing arenas.
Recent studies have shown that government agencies rank an established
security baseline and a secure network infrastructure as top priorities, and a
vulnerability management tool that immediately reveals how well agencies are
complying with regulations is critical. "Government agencies have the enormous
responsibility to ensure their IT systems are safe and secure," said Rick
Peterson, Director of Federal Sales at Lockdown Networks, Inc. "Lockdown's
solution provides an efficient and cost-effective answer for government
organizations looking to strengthen compliance with network security
policies."
Lockdown Networks' security audits and remediation management solutions
allow organizations involved with the government to address the key
requirements of the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) as
well as others, including the Information Technology Management Reform Act
(ITMRA). Specifically, FISMA requires all federal departments and agencies to
adopt and refine information security management processes that ensure
comprehensive risk assessments. Lockdown's solutions help meet these
requirements by taking a proactive approach to system risk classification and
reporting.
Unlike other competitive offerings, Lockdown's appliance-based
vulnerability management solution performs complete audits against all network
devices, including internal, external and wireless systems, and requires no
maintenance due to the appliance-based platform. Furthermore, the solution is
easy to use and access with reporting features for executive and technical
levels, as well as being scalable to all enterprise sizes.
"Lockdown provides great value to our government solution set," said Art
Richer, Vice President at immixTechnology. "Their vulnerability management
products address key network security requirements by our customers."
