Forwarded From: "Spencer, Will" <wspencerat_private> WorldCom Unit Rolls Out Security Service WorldCom Advanced Networks launched a security service yesterday that's aimed at helping companies monitor their networks for security breaches. SecureSweep, which uses scanning technology from Internet Security Systems, will periodically simulate attacks on a customer's network to find any vulnerabilities. Once a scan is completed, the customer will receive a list of vulnerabilities on each system and recommendations on how to fix them, say officials at the WorldCom unit. The service also employs assessment tools and security audit packages from Fortrex Technologies, HomeCom Communications, Microsolved Information Security Consulting, NJH Security Consulting, and Vanstar. WorldCom says it will add more partners by year's end. Available now, SecureSweep is subscription-based, in packages of one, two, four or 12 site scans. Pricing ranges from $1,600 to $10,000, depending on the number of scans. -o- Subscribe: mail majordomoat_private with "subscribe isn".
