Security Dynamics Introduces Security Audit Toolbox
Provides Additional Revenue Opportunities for Resellers, Integrators and
Consultants
BOOTH #4497
NETWORLD + INTEROP, LAS VEGAS, May 4 /PRNewswire/ -- Security Dynamics
Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: SDTI), a leading provider of enterprise,
network and data security solutions today introduced the Security Audit
Toolbox(TM) software, a network security assessment solution designed
specifically for resellers, systems integrators and IT consultants. Based
on the award-winning Kane Security Analyst(TM) (KSA) software, this unique
offering provides the tools necessary for a quick, automatic security
assessment of Windows NT and Novell environments, and delivers a
professional security report of a customer's network.
"The Kane Security Analyst has been a valuable resource for our Firm,
helping our consultants improve efficiencies in performing client security
reviews," said Neil Cooper, Senior Manager, Information Technology Security
Services, Coopers & Lybrand, L.L.P.
Given the dynamic nature of corporate networks today, businesses are
faced with the challenge of protecting valuable information assets from a
range of internal and external threats. On average, most businesses need
to scan their networks for vulnerabilities regularly to ensure security has
not been compromised. The Security Audit Toolbox enables integrators,
resellers and consultants to enhance their security offerings by arming
them with the best tools to provide these critical security review
services.
"As businesses come to realize how much security lapses could
negatively affect their business processes, they are increasingly turning
to integrators and consultants to safeguard their networks," said Robert
Keller, president of ASK Data Communications, a SecurWorld(TM) Partner
based in the New York Metro area. "The Security Audit Toolbox enables us to
quickly and easily assess a client network, point out the holes and
recommend the best security solutions possible. Ultimately, this
technology will help increase our own revenue by expanding the breadth of
services we offer to our clients."
Security Audit Toolbox, which includes a KSA 10-server traveling
license and security tutorial documentation, is ideal for systems
integrators and consultants who want to expand their portfolios to include
security consulting, or who wish to become security service providers using
products from Security Dynamics, the industry's leading enterprise security
vendor. Each Security Audit Toolbox allows consultants to audit networks,
identify security weaknesses and provide recommendations for 10 servers
without having to repurchase the software license after each evaluation.
"All of the Big 6 accounting consultant firms have utilized Kane
Security Analyst to deliver network security reviews at their client
sites," said Robert Kane, vice president, technical marketing, at Security
Dynamics. "As the first formal offering between Security Dynamics and
Intrusion Detection, Inc. since the merger less than 45 days ago, we are
pleased to provide the Security Audit Toolbox for a range of IT
professionals, from small consulting shops to some of the industry's
largest systems integrators and consultants."
Security Audit Toolbox provides a front-line analysis component to
assess the overall security status of a network in six critical areas,
including user account restrictions, password strength, access control,
system monitoring, data integrity and data confidentiality. Once an audit
has been completed, Security Audit Toolbox provides a complete professional
security consulting report with 30 graphical, customizable report
templates, including a personalized cover page and table of contents, that
can be bound and delivered to the customer. In addition, the Toolbox
includes a quick "Security Report Card" that immediately scores the
network's security performance and identifies areas of concern.
Pricing and Availability
The Security Audit Toolbox is immediately available for Windows NT and
Novell NetWare environments. The Toolbox is available at a special
introductory price of $995 U.S. for members of the SecurWorld(TM) Partners
Program, including SecurSolution Providers, SecurPartners Alliance and
Consultant Liaison Program members until August 5, 1998. After this date,
