Advanced Threat Data Correlation Enables Customers for the First Time to

Merge Proactive and Reactive Security Information for Increased

Digital Asset Protection

    SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 22 /PRNewswire/ -- nCircle, the leader in
 appliance-based vulnerability management solutions, announced today a
 strategic alliance with netForensics, Inc., the recognized leader in Security
 Information Management (SIM). nCircle's enterprise class vulnerability
 management system combined with netForensics' industry leading SIM solution
 precisely correlates vulnerability and threat data in real-time, enabling
 customers to focus on the most critical threats and shorten the time to
 remediation.
     The partnership provides a highly accurate solution that for the first
 time brings together proactive security information about network
 vulnerabilities with reactive security event information from multiple devices
 and systems.  The combined netForensics and nCircle solution prioritizes
 security incidents with accurate context and eliminates false positives that
 have plagued reactive security products.  By applying vulnerability context to
 security events as they occur, security managers are now able to isolate the
 true threats to their networks and manage and prioritize remediation actions
 with greater effectiveness.

 management system underscores our commitment to meeting our customer's
 evolving security requirements," said Niten Ved, President and COO at
 netForensics. "This mutually beneficial relationship with nCircle creates a
 strong product offering for our joint customers, ensuring they are able to
 derive the most productive return on their network security investment."
     The combined netForensics and nCircle solution offers a unique and
 powerful capability for large organizations and government agencies to
 discover and identify vulnerable devices on an enterprise network while
 simultaneously gathering and analyzing additional information to prioritize
 the most significant threats.  netForensics' automatically calculated, highly
 accurate threat index allows customers to efficiently manage threats and
 attacks, automate incident investigation and response, as well as simplify
 forensics investigations and reporting. nCircle IP360 safely and continuously
 discovers and analyzes IP-enabled devices, enabling companies to discover,
 assess and proactively protect digital assets from attack.
     "The nCircle and netForensics partnership delivers the best-of-breed
 solution for achieving a multi-layered network security architecture," said
 Abe Kleinfeld, CEO at nCircle. "By correlating proactive and reactive network
 security information into one management console, enterprises can minimize the
