SAN ANTONIO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 8, 2003

SecureInfo to Showcase Automated Vulnerability Management and

Remediation Capabilities at FIAC Conference in Maryland on

October 21-23

SecureInfo Corporation, a recognized leader in providing comprehensive information security solutions, announced today a powerful automation enhancement to its current solution capabilities for assisting Federal Government agencies in proactively preventing future vulnerability exploits. The solution will combine SecureInfo's industry leading Enterprise Vulnerability Management (EVM) software with remediation capabilities in order to automatically identify, track, correct and manage security vulnerabilities throughout an enterprise.

Over the past decade, SecureInfo has provided both Federal Government agencies and commercial clients with comprehensive information security solutions that have assisted them in avoiding such malicious logic as NIMDA, Code Red, SQL Slammer and more recently MS Blaster. These solutions have enabled organizations to manage vulnerability issues down to the asset level, while allowing IT Security managers to pinpoint weakness in their security posture at the enterprise level.

In 2002, The Federal Computer Incident Response Center (FedCIRC) contracted SecureInfo and Veridian to provide security intelligence, malicious virus awareness and security patch authentication and dissemination to all Federal civilian agencies under the Patch Authentication and Dissemination Capabilities (PADC) contract. PADC provides a trusted source of validated patches and notifications on new threats and vulnerabilities that have the potential to disrupt Federal Government mission critical systems and networks. For more information on PADC please visit https://padc.fedcirc.gov.

As seen with the recent wide-spread attacks of vulnerability related computer worms, Government agencies must reduce the number of known security risks to their systems, but they are currently unable to keep up with the increasing amount of vulnerabilities. The current manual approach to vulnerability management does not effectively address the rapidly increasing number of risks.

"SecureInfo helped us determine the source of the attack and developed a strategy for bringing remote users back onto the network after ensuring that our systems had been updated and were virus and vulnerability free," said Gregory Lawler, US Navy Reserve Commander and Senior Vice President/CIO of Southwest Business Corporation, a leading provider of business solutions to financial institutions with over $70 million in annual sales. "The dedication by SecureInfo is commendable and the fact that with the widespread attacks all over the world, SWBC can count on SecureInfo to provide us with that level of support and services is reassuring."

SecureInfo's enterprise vulnerability management and remediation solution will empower users with an automated process for patch intelligence that accurately determines patch relevance, prioritizes the deployment process, monitors patching and produces comprehensive audit trails and vulnerability remediation historical reports. This automated solution gives organizations the ability to receive emergency notification alerts, and apply security patches as soon as they become available, providing IT managers the critical information needed to make the patch decision-making process easy and manageable across the enterprise.

SecureInfo will be exhibiting at the Federal Information Assurance Conference (http://www.fbcinc.com/fiac/) in College Park, Maryland on October 21-23 and will provide product demonstrations on its vulnerability management and remediation solutions.
