nCircle Enriches Managed Security Services Provider (MSSP) Program With PCI Compliance Solution

(Oct 22, 2007)-- nCircle, provider of agentless security risk and compliance management solutions, today announced that it has expanded its nAble MSSP Partner Program to include Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliance solutions. The expanded program enables MSSP partners to increase their revenue by offering a number of managed services to help their customers cost-effectively monitor and comply with the industry standard using certified, best-of-breed technology.

Using nCircle's certified PCI scanning technology -- one of the first to be certified under the updated PCI standard, version 1.1 -- MSSPs can offer their customers an easy-to-use, fully automated scan service to help meet the quarterly compliance validation requirements of the standard. Basing their PCI scanning service on nCircle's proven, certified technology provides MSSPs with multiple options to address merchant compliance. MSSPs may either advise their merchant customers to use the nCircle Certified PCI Scan Service or operate nCircle's PCI scanning technology from their own network operationscenter to offer a branded certified service.

Additionally, MSSP partners may deploy and integrate other nCircle PCI solutions in their network operations center to profile, report on and prioritize remediation of a customer's entire payment network in preparation
for an audit, saving customers ongoing operational and audit costs while improving network security risk and compliance.

The nCircle nAble Partner Program offers MSSPs the leading security risk and compliance management solutions used by more than 4000 customers worldwide to improve network security risk and compliance. nCircle also provides enterprise-class support offering as part of the program. Additionally, MSSP
partners benefit from nCircle's investment in the industry's largest security research and development team -- currently providing the most comprehensive coverage with over 14,000 distinct operating system, application,
configuration conditions and vulnerabilities.
