Risk Management Solution
AUSTIN, Texas & SAN JOSE, Calif.—May 31, 2006—Driven by the need to enable business-oriented risk reporting and analysis of vulnerabilities, as well as to satisfy audit and regulatory requirements, AlterPoint, Inc. and Skybox Security Inc. have announced a partnership intended to deliver an end-to-end risk management solution to enterprises.
According to the announcement, AlterPoint and Skybox have integrated the workflow and data exchange capabilities of their respective solutions, DeviceAuthority and View, with the overall goal of transforming security information into business-oriented risk, audit, and compliance intelligence, and ultimately reducing the IT workload required to manage risk.
The integration of View’s virtual modeling and simulation capability with DeviceAuthority’s network configuration and release management functions is intended to enable organizations to deploy a predictive, closed-looped security risk assessment and change management process. Users reportedly will be able to classify business assets; discover configurations, vulnerabilities, controls, and rules; visualize threats, configurations, and rules; analyze configuration effectiveness and quantify risk exposures; validate configuration and mitigation changes; deploy, enforce, and manage standard network configurations; and monitor for continuous compliance and improvement.
