Perimeter eSecurity Acquires Leading Provider of On Demand Vulnerability Scanning and PCI Compliance, Edgeos, Inc. Downloadable SaaS Module Enables Highly Automated Scans for Compliance with Latest PCI Standards and Federal Regulations Milford, CT June 11, 2008 – Perimeter eSecurity, the only provider of Complete Security On Demand, announced today that it has acquired Edgeos, Inc., a leading provider of on demand, managed vulnerability services which are designed to enable carriers, Value Added Resellers, and other partner organizations to provide security services to their customers through their software-as-a-service (SaaS) enabled private labeled security services platform. The Edgeos managed vulnerability service suite has been fully integrated with Perimeter’s Vulnerability Management Solution Suite that includes server and desktop AV, Patch and Configuration Management, as well as a number of network-based and CPE-based security services. This enhanced internal and external scanning technology, combined with the online PCI questionnaire and optional consulting, provides significant enhancements to Perimeter’s PCI Compliance Solution Suite. In addition to supporting Level 1, 2 and 3 Retail Merchants, the suite now enables merchant banks to manage their Level 4 Merchants through a consolidated reporting and management console, rather than manually distributing policies, collecting scans, and reviewing questionnaires. In addition, this enables merchant banks to cost-effectively demonstrate compliance with the recent clarifications issued by the PCI Security Standards Council, and Healthcare companies to demonstrate HIPAA compliance. It also provides additional features for all of Perimeter’s Vulnerability Management customers. “Edgeos’ notable advances in automated vulnerability assessment and its software-as-a-service delivery model enhances our PCI Compliance Solution Suite and joins our menu of complete compliance solutions for financial institutions, brokers and traders, and healthcare companies,” said Doug Howard, Chief Strategy Officer, Perimeter eSecurity. Unlike other offerings in the marketplace, customers will now be able to perform unlimited internal and external vulnerability scans. An added feature allows for performing internal scans through a downloadable SaaS module on an affordable subscription basis rather than requiring incremental hardware. “In addition, the Edgeos service is extremely partner friendly. It helps VARS, Carriers, and PCI Consultants/ASVs build new sources of recurring revenues and minimize costs and can be offered as a white label or a powered by Perimeter service,” Howard added. “Vulnerability Management services that provide a high degree of automation within a white label solution offer a unique and unbeatable combination for all of our channel partners.” “Perimeter eSecurity’s industry leading, layered approach to security combined with our on demand vulnerability scanning capabilities enables our channel partners to provide the most comprehensive PCI compliance offering available in the marketplace today,” said Jay Jacobson, CEO, Edgeos. Perimeter’s Core Vulnerability Management Solution Suite will offer customers and partners five options for performing internal and external scanning in a fully managed or customer configured/managed suite:
