COLUMBIA, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 26, 2003

Tenable Network Security, Inc., unveiled its LIGHTNING 1.1 CONSOLE AND PROXY to manage network vulnerability and intrusion detection events this week at the CSI NetSec 2003 Conference in New Orleans.

"Lightning 1.1 is a next-generation security software solution that thoughtfully combines relevant security data from vulnerability scans and intrusion detection devices to help enterprises reduce network exposure. Its design is definitely unique and highly scalable when compared to others in our industry," says Ron Gula, President and CTO of Tenable.

Tenable's Lightning Console 1.1 can control vulnerability scanning and the distribution of intrusion detection events for hundreds and thousands of unique system administrators and security managers in different organizations. Each administrator or manager only sees their vulnerabilities and intrusion detection events. Its benefits include but are not limited to:

-- Distribution of Responsibility

-- Web Interface and Email

-- IDS Event Aggregation / Correlation / Distribution

-- No SQL Database Required

-- Localized Security Management

-- Comparative Analysis of Organizations

Tenable's Lightning Proxy 1.1 which can use dozens (if not hundreds) of Nessus vulnerability scanners as if they were one scanner. This decreases the total amount of time required to complete a full vulnerability scan of a large network. The time can be reduced so much that scans of large Class B networks (more than 60,000 IP addresses) can be completed in several hours. Its benefits include:

-- Daily and Weekly Scanning

-- Low Network Impact
