nCircle to Unveil nCircle Focus(TM), A Breakthrough Network Security Analysis Tool at RSA Conference.

SAN FRANCISCO -- nCircle, the leading provider of enterprise-class vulnerability and risk management solutions, announced today it will introduce nCircle Focus, a breakthrough network security analysis and synthesis tool, at the RSA Conference 2006, which will take place February 13 - 17 in San Jose, California. nCircle offers proactive network security solutions that enable enterprises to find and eliminate vulnerabilities, enforce security policy compliance, and measure, manage and reduce network risk.

Despite generating an overwhelming volume of security data, enterprises still lack the tools to turn this data into dynamic intelligence that can be acted on immediately. nCircle Focus delivers this intelligence instantly so security professionals can proactively take the most efficient actions to reduce their risks before they can be exploited.

Using nCircle Focus, a security analyst can instantly identify:

--systems vulnerable to a specific threat or threats

--location and ownership of vulnerable systems

--comprehensive host information including operating system, applications and their versions, open ports, protocols, and host tracking information

--vulnerable systems that have line-of-sight access to high threat zones

--vulnerable systems running critical applications that fall under regulatory control objectives

--current and historic vulnerability trend status of specific systems

--patch availability or immediate countermeasures if no patch is available

"Security professionals continue to be challenged by having ready access to critical information for decision making in the volumes of data generated every day," stated Amrit Williams, Research Director, Information Security & Risk, Gartner Inc.

Stefan Petry, Vice President of Product Management at nCircle, noted, "Network security risk is a pressing issue for businesses and governments today, yet many companies lack the resources to address the issue effectively. nCircle Focus identifies areas of highest network exposure to effectively minimize security risks to the business."
