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."
