SUPERIOR, CO -- (Marketwire) -- 04/16/09 -- StillSecure®, provider of comprehensive
network security products and services, today announced interoperability
between its solutions and Microsoft Forefront code name "Stirling."
Currently in public beta testing, Forefront "Stirling" is an integrated
security suite that delivers comprehensive protection across endpoint,
application servers and edge solutions with a central management console
for easy administration and enterprise-wide multi-product visibility.
Forefront "Stirling" enables software, hardware, and services vendors to
share and use security event information across the "Stirling" environment
and the broader partner ecosystem. Through the sharing of security event
information, "Stirling" partners can enhance the effectiveness of their
security technologies and better protect customer IT environments.
As a Forefront "Stirling" partner, StillSecure has integrated its Strata
Guard® IDS/IPS solution and VAM® vulnerability management platform
within the Microsoft environment. By sharing security event information on
attacks and vulnerabilities associated with endpoint devices, StillSecure
is able to better protect customer IT environments running "Stirling." The
joint solution provides deep endpoint management and control that allows
for increased network protection with simplified management capabilities
via the "Stirling" ecosystem.
"Microsoft is pleased to work with StillSecure to develop interoperability
between Forefront 'Stirling' and both Strata Guard and VAM, in order to
give our customers more comprehensive and responsive security across the
enterprise," said John Chirapurath, director in the identity and security
business group at Microsoft. "Microsoft is committed to collaborating with
top industry vendors and providing solutions that help organizations more
effectively achieve their business goals. We call this 'business-ready
security.'"
"Interoperability is a core pillar at StillSecure, and we are excited to be
working with Microsoft as they prepare to release the next generation of
their Forefront integrated security solution," said Brad Doctor, Vice
President of Technology at StillSecure. "Using our IDS/IPS and
vulnerability management system in conjunction with the 'Stirling'
environment helps customers more easily maintain total control over network
devices."
A demonstration of the StillSecure solution integrated with Microsoft
Forefront "Stirling" will be on display at the upcoming RSA conference.
