Awarded Most Innovative Product at the 6th Annual "The Security
Summit" in San Diego
Gains top spot for Information Assurance,
Cyber Security and Security Software, named runner up for Best in Show
in all categories
FREMONT, Calif., May 27, 2009 - AlertEnterprise™ a red
hot software startup in the rapidly emerging space of security
convergence for physical and logical security, won the coveted Most
Innovative Product and Service award in the Information
Assurance, Cyber Security and Security Software category at the 6th
Annual “The Security Summit” held May 20-21, 2009 in San
Diego, California. In addition to landing the top slot in its category,
AlertEnterprise delighted attendees and judges in all categories and
was also named runner up for the Best in Show award.
The
Security Network serves as the organizer and lead sponsor of the annual
Security Summit and on-going events, including working groups and other
regularly scheduled meetings. The Security Network is a non-profit
public-private partnership consisting of industry, government, and
academic institutions combining together to promote the development of
dual usage security technologies needed by both public and private
sectors. “Across the board, this year’s group of dual-use
technologies were extremely impressive,” said Michael B. Jones,
Chairman and President of The Security Network. “Being selected
as the winning product among such a high level of competition is
testament to AlertEnterprise’s focus on innovation and
effectiveness that will impact the security market for many
years.”
AlertEnterprise
bridges the single most overlooked gap in enterprise security - the
true prevention and detection of cross-enterprise threats by linking
physical access and IT security to ensure compliance with regulations
and standards like NIST SP800-xx, NERC CIP, CFATS, HSPD, C-TPATS, MTSA,
FISMA and most DoD regulations. Additionally there is support for Sox,
HIPAA, CobiT and other commercial standards. AlertEnterprise delivers
unprecedented capabilities to visualize previously undetectable threats
and assists managers in remediating security risk across the
enterprise. Real-time risk monitoring, geo-spatial visualization and
actionable risk remediation can stop any potential theft, sabotage or
act of terrorism right in their tracks.
Most
security industry experts agree that dissolving these silos between
physical access security, IT security, and critical infrastructure
security is the best way to create actionable information to protect
national infrastructure, provide information assurance and deliver a
unified risk-led response to threats from terrorism, malicious behavior
and fraudulent activity. Jasvir Gill, founder and CEO of
AlertEnterprise takes this mission to heart. His previous startup Virsa
Systems was one of the most successful acquisitions by SAP to date and
has became the core of the SAP GRC offering delivering application
level security. “The most insidious risks are simple acts that
slip between physical and logical security systems. They may not
individually trigger an alert in any one system. But, in combination
they create an ominous risk picture that may defy detection unless your
physical and logical security systems talk to each other,” says
Jasvir.
AlertEnterprise
products are available as COTS (Commercial Off The Shelf) software that
works with existing enterprise systems and physical access control
systems delivering incremental return on investments in applications
like ERP systems, IT security automation solutions and critical
infrastructure management solutions for energy management, oil and gas,
chemicals processing and mass transport. Jasvir goes on to add,
“We value our association with the Security Network and
appreciate the participation in the Security Summit which provides an
opportunity for innovative companies with the best technology to be
vetted by the community most involved in the strategic and tactical
aspects of securing our nation. AlertEnterprise ‘s unique ability
to combine physical access security with mission-critical computer
systems and applications has a particular appeal for Federal, Military,
Homeland Security, and Intelligence operations ”. Furthermore,
“AlertEnterprise delivers unique and innovative solutions that
discover blended threat patterns already present in existing systems.
It stitches together a fabric that completes the picture on risks that
were previously undetectable and automates the process of remediating
those risks. This puts us way ahead of solutions just looking at
conventional security.”
