Elemental's innovative approach to a high-profile, enterprise- level security need made it the clear choice." "It is an honor to be named the Emerging Technology Product of the Year by Information Security, the leading source of comprehensive reports and analyses for security managers and executives charged with protecting information assets and reducing risk, " said Elemental CEO Peter Watkins. "Our growing customer traction and increasing number of industry accolades validates that our innovative host-level approach to policy and risk management is serving a critical security compliance need for enterprises that was previously unmet." Elemental's award-winning product is the world's first solution that unifies policy management, host configuration, inventory/discovery and network access control in one seamlessly integrated offering. For the first time, enterprises can easily express cross-platform security policies that affect individual computers and their behavior on the network, gather meaningful up- to-date information to compare to established metrics, and selectively enforce policies across a diverse, dynamic environment. Security compliance has become a top priority for enterprises due to the pressures from increasing frequency and severity of security breaches, and from regulations such as Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX), the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard, and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Networking News :: home page |
