Cambia Releases Enhanced Security Policy Enforcement Software; Provides Automated Security Policy Assessment for Network Assets and Extends Third Party Application Support.

ALPHARETTA, Ga. -- Cambia Security, a leading provider of security policy enforcement software, today announced enhanced capabilities and features for its flagship product, Cambia CM. The latest version, Cambia CM 3.5, offers a security policy assessment package, a Cisco IOS assessment module, and integration with the QualysGuard Scanner. Cambia CM's new features dramatically simplify the process of safeguarding network asset integrity and preparing for IT security audits.

The security policy assessment package adds a new dimension to the Cambia CM product. It permits administrators to create detailed and prescriptive policies that specify precisely what is and what is not permitted in their network asset configurations. Security policies can be customized from more than 1,000 tests in the policy library or can be created automatically from the configuration of a "gold image." The security policy assessment package also includes an always-on compliance view that displays the compliance status of assets on demand.

"With the addition of prescriptive policy templates, Cambia is moving its product in a very positive direction," said Andi Mann, senior analyst at Enterprise Management Associates. "Buyers are increasingly requiring greater visibility into and control over network asset configurations for security and compliance purposes."

Cambia has also extended its support of third-party security and network infrastructure technologies by adding support for Cisco IOS devices and QualysGuard vulnerability scanners. Cambia CM's library of assessment modules now covers Cisco IOS-based devices, allowing customers to conduct deep analyses of the configuration of routers and switches along with those of their desktops, laptops, and servers. Cambia CM 3.5 can now also invoke the QualysGuard vulnerability scanner in response to specific network change events that warrant a detailed security vulnerability scan.

"In this release we've continued to widen the third party applications we support, which gives customers the ability to cut costs by leveraging their existing infrastructure," said Mark Wood, director of marketing and product management for Cambia Security. "Cambia CM 3.5 also gives customers an immediate view into security risk and compliance status so they can address serious problems quickly."

"We are pleased to have Cambia CM as a key component of our security infrastructure," said Jim Moore, information security administrator at Aaron Rents. "Cambia has proven to be extremely supportive and has become a trusted partner for our security practice."
