Comprehensive Health Services Demonstrates Security Compliance With RedSeal Systems

HIPAA Compliance and NIST SP 800-53 Certification Key Factors in Selection of RedSeal


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.
