Comprehensive Health Services Demonstrates Security Compliance With RedSeal Systems

SAN MATEO, CA--(Marketwire - July 14, 2009) - RedSeal Systems, Inc. (www.redseal.net), the
leading vendor of security posture management solutions, today announced
that Comprehensive Health Services, Inc. (CHS), the largest independent
provider of onsite workforce health centers and national examination
programs, has selected RedSeal's software to achieve, maintain and prove
compliance with industry security regulations and best practices.
"As a healthcare company, demonstrating HIPAA compliance is critical,
especially with the introduction of ARRA and HITECH initiatives. RedSeal's
risk management software helps us ensure that as custodians of people's
personal and medical information we are in a better position to safeguard
that data," said Ryan Trost, Director of Security and Privacy at CHS and
author of Practical Intrusion Analysis. "In addition, as a result of the
number of data breaches climbing exponentially every day, companies must
take a proactive stance to evaluate the integrity of their network in
'real-time.' By importing network device configurations and vulnerability
assessments, RedSeal can analyze our network's defensive posture in
minutes, as opposed to what used to take me days using NIST SP 800-53 best
practices for information security."
"RedSeal is pleased that healthcare leader CHS has selected RedSeal
software as a key part of its compliance strategy," commented Steve Dauber,
Vice President of Marketing at RedSeal Systems. "With both regulatory and
business mandates to secure personally identifiable information, RedSeal
software provides our customers with critical assurance that their networks
and systems comply with internal security policies as well as government
regulation."
RedSeal software brings a new level of insight to network and system
security. It automatically analyzes the interaction of every component in
an enterprise's network infrastructure and the security of each underlying
component, enabling the company to understand the network access enabled to
any point in the infrastructure and to validate compliance with security
standards. In addition, RedSeal prioritizes vulnerability remediation by
combining the vulnerability of each individual system with the ability of
an attacker to access it -- either directly over the network or through a
leapfrog attack from other systems. With RedSeal software, enterprises can
make better, more informed security decisions and optimize their overall
security processes.

About RedSeal Systems, Inc.
RedSeal Systems develops security posture management software that enables
organizations to assess and strengthen their cyber-defenses. Unlike systems
that detect attacks once they occur, RedSeal identifies holes in the
security infrastructure that could be exploited -- before they are
discovered by hackers. RedSeal software analyzes and simplifies the
complex interaction of firewalls, routers, load balancers and hosts,
delivering in-depth understanding of overall security posture, continuous
compliance with regulations such as PCI, FISMA, and SOX, and actionable
steps for risk remediation. For more information, visit RedSeal at
