ACTON, Mass. – February 26, 2008  – eIQnetworks^®, Inc., a global provider of integrated security, risk and audit management solutions, today announced that systems integration consulting company, CedarCrestone, Inc., has selected its flagship SecureVue^® platform to consolidate security and compliance management across its enterprise by intelligently correlating disparate data sources.

CedarCrestone, a Certified Advantage Partner of Oracle and winner of the Oracle 2007-2008 ‘PeopleSoft Solution’ Titan Award, offers comprehensive consulting and managed services to its global customer base for the deployment, management and optimization of Oracle’s PeopleSoft solutions. CedarCrestone will use SecureVue to monitor and protect over 600 servers and more than 500 PeopleSoft environments including Human Capital Management, Financial Management, Customer Relationship Management and Enterprise Portal.

“With a lot of sensitive customer information in our data center, it was critical for us to find a solution to closely monitor and manage all activity across the enterprise,” said Daniel Frye, senior manager of information security at CedarCrestone. “SecureVue’s comprehensive correlation of network, system and PeopleSoft application events provides us with the detailed event tracking and proactive notification of developing security issues we require at a low total cost of ownership.”

CedarCrestone evaluated products from ArcSight and EMC before selecting eIQ’s SecureVue. The primary drivers for the final purchase decision were SecureVue’s overall flexibility, customization and end-to-end correlation functionality, which include extensive log management and flow reporting capabilities. “What impressed us was eIQ’s responsiveness to the unique challenges inside our hosting center architecture model, particularly around defining and calculating security metrics within our environment,” Frye said. “The flexibility of SecureVue enables us to cost-effectively meet our security and compliance requirements for our hosted clients despite significant differences in their PeopleSoft Internet Architecture implementations.”

As part of the platform, SecureVue’s next-generation security information management (SIM) enables CedarCrestone to improve operational efficiency by strategically addressing evolving security threats through the following functionality:

• Log Management: collects, archives, correlates and reports on event data from all devices, servers and applications

• Vulnerability Analytics: scans assets on demand to identify, track and report system vulnerabilities

• Configuration Analytics: detects, correlates, alerts and reconciles configuration changes as well as enforces control policies across the IT infrastructure

• Asset Analytics: centralizes the tracking and management of hardware and software assets to improve visibility and diminish asset oversight

• Performance Analytics: collects and analyzes performance data from all network devices and servers to proactively monitor network health

• Network Behavioral Anomaly Detection: profiles all NetFlow, C-Flow, S-Flow and J-Flow data to identify and alert on anomalies based on resource utilization, application usage and behavioral patterns

The platform’s IT governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) functionality also enables CedarCrestone to establish and manage internal policies while meeting regulations, best practices and standards.

“Managed service providers like CedarCrestone, whose reputations rely on the security they provide to their customers, are increasingly realizing the correlation power and security that SecureVue delivers,” said John Sullivan, senior vice president, field operations at eIQnetworks. “An integrated security, risk and audit management platform meets complex security and compliance requirements by doing more with less in today’s challenging economic environment.”
