Forwarded From: Nicholas Charles Brawn <ncb05at_private> 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.
