nCircle Extends Market Lead With Agentless Coverage of More Than 17,000 Conditions

(Aprl 09, 2008)-- nCircle, provider of agentless security risk and compliance management solutions, announced that its solutions now identify over 17,000 conditions, including operating systems, applications, vulnerabilities and configurations. The detailed configuration and security intelligence gathered by nCircle's agentless discovery provides enterprise customers with the industry's most comprehensive foundation for reducing security risk and ensuring compliance at the lowest possible cost.

nCircle's Vulnerability and Exposures Research Team (VERT), the world leader in accurate and non-intrusive agentless discovery technology, delivers an ever-growing library of vulnerability, configuration and compliance checks used across nCircle solutions.

Additionally, nCircle VERT offers the industry's only Service Level Agreement (SLA) providing customers vulnerability checks within 24 hours for all Microsoft Security Advisories, reinforcing nCircle's commitment to help organizations maintain the highest levels of security and compliance.

System and application configuration checks developed by nCircle VERT are the building blocks of a rich library of policies used in nCircle solutions and are based on standards and benchmarks from NIST, CIS and Microsoft. Customers can use these policies to measure compliance with specific regulations such as the PCI Data Security Standard, Sarbanes-Oxley and HIPAA.

"A year ago, nCircle delivered coverage for nearly 11,000 conditions -- by far the most in the industry. Twelve months later, we've exceeded 17,000. That's more than ten times the growth of our nearest competitor," said Sheldon Malm, Director of Security Research & Development, nCircle. "Our continued investment in vulnerability, configuration and compliance research and development is truly unique in our industry, making nCircle a key component of any organization's security and compliance program."

All configuration and vulnerability discovery checks are supported in the nCircle Device Profiler 3000, introduced in October 2007, the industry's first unified scanning appliance that gathers detailed intelligence about an enterprise network. This intelligence, when combined with nCircle's advanced analytics, delivers a comprehensive view of network-wide security risk and compliance. Customers can take advantage of integrated reporting through nCircle Security Intelligence Hub(TM), nCircle's centralized reporting and analytics solution for insight, dashboards, management and detailed analysis of an organization's overall compliance and security status.
