MELBOURNE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 23, 2001

Harris Corporation (NYSE:HRS), a leading provider of intelligent security software solutions, announced today that Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) has selected its STAT security solutions to protect its country-wide computer network. Harris is providing STAT(R) Analyzer and STAT(R) Scanner software, which will allow PWGSC to proactively identify and eliminate network security risks across its entire network.

"PWGSC's selection of STAT is another example of how government entities around the world are increasingly adopting Harris security solutions," said Lilo X. Newberry, director, STAT Operations. "STAT also continues to be the growing choice of enterprise end-users in the commercial sector across a number of industries, including securities, banking, healthcare, manufacturing. State and federal governments also continue to be a key customer segment for STAT."

STAT security solutions are providing PWGSC -- a 12,000-employee agency that provides broad, innovative services and programs supporting over 100 Government of Canada organizations -- with a vendor-neutral approach for integrating and automating "best-of-breed" tools for assessing network security risks, including site-specific security policy adherence. Another major benefit to PWGSC is the significant savings of time and labor required for its network security assessment process.

STAT Analyzer 2.0 uses a suite of integrated, best-of-breed vulnerability and risk assessment tools to map and analyze various aspects of a networked computing system. It then employs a unique data correlation technology, called FuzzyFusion(tm), to develop a system-wide, multi-dimensional view of a network's security posture relative to its security policy or requirements. STAT Analyzer 2.0 also provides users with the ability to easily model and evaluate proposed changes in order to select the appropriate risk mitigation actions.

STAT Scanner 4.0 assesses and automatically repairs 1,050 different types of Windows NT(R)/2000(R) security vulnerabilities - the largest number of such vulnerabilities detected and fixed by a single software product, industry-wide. STAT Scanner 4.0 vulnerability checks are mapped to MITRE's Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) dictionary.

The STAT product family provides users with the means to eliminate network security risks before they can be exploited, providing design, analysis, and test solutions that address the security life-cycle requirements of computer networks.
