IMRI Partners With Lumeta Corporation

Partnership Brings Unparalleled Cyber Security Solution for Global Network Visibility; Addresses Needs of Federal and Utility Clients


LAGUNA HILLS, CA--(Marketwire - December 15, 2009) - Information Management Resources Inc. (IMRI) has partnered with Lumeta Corporation to offer Lumeta's IPsonar® as part of its cyber security solutions to address the needs of federal and utilities sectors. IPsonar provides a comprehensive solution for global network visibility. With global visibility, organizations can identify each device on their network, along with the connections between those devices, to close information gaps that may lead to unmanaged vulnerabilities. The end result is better management of the demands for network availability, security and compliance.

IPsonar is the industry's only product that can discover and alert on unknown/unmanaged network connections and devices. It actively scans the network to collect all data related to network topology, address space, leaks, and device fingerprints. IPsonar maps every asset on a network to visually analyze the connectivity between assets and networks, uncovering cyber security risk patterns and policy weaknesses.

Lumeta's IPsonar delivers comprehensive network discovery and the industry's most accurate network mapping capabilities. The product has the ability to discover layer 2 and layer 3 nodes, and the complex relationships between those nodes, including application-layer visibility. IPsonar increases visibility into enterprise and control system networks and their connections, so that organizations can more accurately apply security tools and techniques around the entire IP-enabled infrastructure.

"Both federal entities and public utilities are facing increasing pressure to ensure that their networks are as secure as possible while still remaining highly available," said Michael Markulec, chief operating officer at Lumeta. "The only way to achieve the proper balance between the necessary security measures and daily IT operations is to have complete visibility into all the devices and connections on these networks so that organizations can quickly and easily monitor compliance, prioritize trouble spots and resolve issues before audits occur."

IMRI employs the IPsonar network assurance solution suite to assist with maintaining service levels and disaster preparedness, while managing cyber security risk in order to help ensure regulatory compliant operations. Using IPsonar, IMRI also offers cyber security audit services at electric generation facilities, water plants and other heavy industrial infrastructure to help clients secure control system networks.

"IT and control system networks are constantly changing with reorganizations, relocations, new applications, and technology insertions. As a result, organizations often struggle with identifying assets, configurations, connections, and ensuring that networks remain secure and managed properly," said Brenda Taylor, IMRI executive vice president, business development. "Combined with IMRI's industry expertise and cyber security services, IPsonar will help our customers to analyze potential areas of risk and identify appropriate corrective actions before, during and after any changes are made to the network."
