ACTON, Mass. and SAN FRANCISCO, September 18, 2007 – eIQnetworks®, Inc., a global provider of next-generation security information management (SIM) solutions, and CITTIO, the innovation leader in automated network and systems monitoring software, today announced an OEM agreement in which eIQ’s SecureVue™ solution for managing security, risk and compliance across the enterprise will be offered as a fully integrated module of the CITTIO WatchTower® platform. The combined offering enables customers to prevent costly downtime while simultaneously safeguarding their important business assets.

Sold under the CITTIO brand, the tightly integrated solution is designed to break down the traditional silos within organizations by unifying log, vulnerability, configuration, asset, performance and NetFlow data. This end-to-end correlation fosters close collaboration between the NOC (Network Operations Center), the SOC (Security Operations Center) and compliance teams. As a result, organizations are able to better monitor and manage availability, security, risk and compliance across the enterprise.

“Today, network management teams need to manage and understand network-related issues across silos such as servers, storage, security, databases and applications. They need to manage complex and dynamic IP networks to connect customers, vendors and employees,” wrote Evelyn Hubbert in “The Network Management Software Market” report, (Forrester Research, Inc., June 6, 2007). “Network traffic monitoring needs to be tied to security management so that early detection of threats leads to proactive actions rather than front-line news.”

Enterprises, particularly in the financial services, healthcare and retail markets as well as government organizations, will benefit greatly from the automated network and systems monitoring expertise of CITTIO coupled with eIQ’s ability to centralize security and compliance operations. The integrated offering allows customers to proactively detect and monitor all network devices, systems and applications, while taking advantage of security management, data archival, reporting and forensics capabilities that meet stringent audit requirements for compliance mandates, such as the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA), the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), Payment Card Industry (PCI) and Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX).

“Adding SecureVue to the CITTIO WatchTower platform provides CITTIO customers with the capabilities they need to successfully monitor their network while safeguarding against ever increasing security threats and evolving regulations,” said John Sullivan, senior vice president of field operations at eIQnetworks. “Our combined offering unites more effective availability with security and risk and compliance management, making it easier for organizations to meet even the most rigorous audit requirements.”

“By partnering with eIQ, we are able to provide our customers with an integrated solution connecting the NOC with the SOC to proactively monitor an enterprise’s entire IT infrastructure and support compliance requirements,” said Jim Smith, vice president, business development, CITTIO. “The combination of eIQ’s SecureVue with CITTIO WatchTower offers customers a comprehensive systems, network and security platform that unifies log, vulnerability, configuration, asset, performance, availability and NetFlow data all in one solution.”

eIQ’s SecureVue is available immediately as an integrated add-on module to the CITTIO WatchTower platform. For more information, visit www.cittio.com or call 1.877.4CITTIO.
