Consul CTO Named Among Security Magazine's 25 Most Influential Executives for 2006.

Praises Kristin Gallina Lovejoy as Well-Known Thought Leader

HERNDON, Va. -- Consul risk management, Inc., the authority in security audit and compliance, today announced that its CTO Kristin Gallina Lovejoy has been recognized by Security Magazine as one of the 2006 "25 Most Influential Executives." Security Magazine selected Ms. Lovejoy based on her accomplishments within the security and compliance market, namely her success at educating IT security professionals on the spirit and importance of compliance requirements, and developing software and services to enable compliance and business performance to co-exist.

The publication's annual year-end feature, the "25 Most Influential Executives," showcases twenty-five individuals who have been the largest influencers on the security environment, focusing on their accomplishments and vision. Along with her duties at Consul that include product and vision strategy, Ms. Lovejoy has also presented at a number of conferences on security event auditing and compliance topics and holds a U.S. patent for Object Risk Management Model and Methodology.

"Businesses regard information security as a frustrating and questionable investment with unquantifiable value, a dubious ROI, and all the appeal of speed bumps on a freeway," said Ms. Lovejoy. "Buyer frustration will inevitably lead to the notion of 'information security' being subsumed within the broader, more relevant, discipline of 'operational risk management' and creating a greater focus on business optimization. Buyers will finally be able to measure the effectiveness of controls they have in place, identify areas of improvement and justify ongoing expenditures."
