Secure Vantage Technologies Enables Datacenter Lockdown with Compliance Security Suite for Microsoft System Center

Secure Vantage adds comprehensive auditing, forensics and reporting platform to System Center Operations Manager, Configuration Manager and Forefront Client Security.

LONGMONT, Colo. - April 29, 2008 – Today, Secure Vantage Technologies, a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner, announces general availability of the Compliance Security Suite for Microsoft System Center. The Secure Vantage Compliance Security Suite allows Windows-based enterprises to manage and audit their data centers more securely while enforcing controls. With comprehensive auditing of Group Policy configurations and changes, coupled with advanced analytics for security events, the suite enables data center customers to quickly assess configuration risks and alert on security violations and incidents. The suite also includes Secure Vantage’s new Security Dashboards for System Center and Forefront Security, providing a centralized security and compliance console for IT professionals, auditors and management.

"Using Microsoft System Center Operations Manager 2007 and Secure Vantage’s Compliance Security Suite to streamline our processes and get better efficiencies, we reduced the workload on other engineering teams by 5,700 hours," said Mark Helman, Director of Enterprise IT Management for Stewart Information Services. "Compliance isn’t an option for us; this solution helped us streamline our processes, get better efficiencies and reduce the workload for other engineering teams."

The Compliance Security Suite provides real-time alerting and health monitoring of all Windows-affiliated security events and group policy settings, significantly improving the security of any data center environment. Organizations focusing on security auditing will benefit from enhanced services for the Audit Collection Services including administration, offline archiving, and historical reporting - even for Unix and Linux syslogs. As industry or government security regulations apply, the Compliance Security Suite easily expands to provide regulatory specific auditing with context sensitive alerting, knowledge guidance, operational views, reporting and control requirement mappings.

"System Center Operations Manager 2007 provides end-to-end service management, helping customers increase efficiency and achieve control over their IT environment," said Larry Orecklin, general manager of System Center Marketing at Microsoft Corp. "We are pleased to be working with Secure Vantage Technologies to extend our offerings with enhanced compliance functionality to help our customers further protect their corporate assets while maximizing the value of their investment in System Center solutions."

Secure Vantage Technologies specializes in providing value-adding solutions which improve security management, auditing, and regulatory compliance. The new Compliance Security Suite from Secure Vantage helps customers further leverage their investment in System Center with significantly enhanced management, auditing, and regulatory compliance capabilities, locking down both large global Datacenters and small Windows environments. Built on System Center technology, this suite increases control over security operations where it is needed most: auditing and compliance.

"We understand how challenging it can be to control IT assets and reduce risk in an efficient, cost-effective way," said Jeremiah Beckett, President of Secure Vantage. "Using System Center, Forefront and Secure Vantage solutions, data center security increases very substantially without taxing precious resources or adding high costs."

Attendees at the Microsoft Management Summit 2008 can visit the CommNet monitoring environment where the suite is in use and being showcased for the third year in a row. Customers can also see the suite in action by visiting a local Microsoft Technology Center or contacting Secure Vantage at www.securevantage.com.
