Perimeter E-Security Consolidates R&D in United States; Opens Boston Innovation Center

MILFORD, Conn., Aug. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- Perimeter E-Security, the trusted market leader of information security services that deliver enterprise-class protection and compliance to companies of all sizes, today announced it has consolidated its software engineering team in Boston. The expanded group will focus on the company's core security and compliance technologies and further develop Perimeter's hallmark integrated user experience.

"There's a difference between innovation and execution. We're here to innovate and Boston is home to outstanding engineering talent.  By centralizing our resources with our engineering and product development teams, we're creating greater efficiencies and synergies that cannot be replicated offshore," said John Viega, EVP of Products and Engineering. "The combined pressures of compliance and security have intensified the need for integrated security suites – and we plan to maintain our lead here."

The company expects to continue to grow the team over the next two years.

Technologies developed in the Innovation Center will be used across the company's vulnerability assessment and managed services offerings, which include robust compliance and security reporting tools and an industry-leading security-management platform that integrates multiple security services into one portal.

Viega also cited cost advantages for the move: "When you do the real math, it's far more cost effective to do R&D in the United States."

An esteemed author of numerous security books, including "Myths of Security" and the seminal "Building Secure Software," and a contributor to several prominent technology standards, Viega leads Perimeter's product management and product development. He founded Secure Software, later acquired by Fortify, and is an editor for IEEE Security and Privacy magazine. His technical work in cryptography has been standardized by NIST, the IEEE and IETF.

Perimeter continues to garner an accolade of technology awards, such as SC Magazine's recent 5-Star award for Perimeter's firewall services.  Launched in 2009, Viewpoint 2.0, the industry's first correlative security engine with built-in compliance profiler, is generating enormous positive response from customers by helping them to gain an understanding and manage security threats across a company's entire network from one single platform.
