SANTA CLARA, Calif. — December 11,  2013—RedSeal (www.redseal.co), the leader in network infrastructure security management, announced today that its RedSeal Platform has been chosen as the “Best Continuous Monitoring Solution” winner of the 5th Annual Government Security News (GSN) Homeland Security Awards.

“Government Security News’ recognition of RedSeal Networks further validates our commitment to provide our customers with the most advanced network virtualization, risk analysis and assessment tools to protect them from cyber attacks.”

The GSN 2013 Homeland Security Awards Program was organized to honor the distinguished vendors of IT Security and Physical Security products and solutions and the dedicated federal, state, county and municipal government agencies, whose combined efforts keep our nation secure.

The RedSeal Platform is deployed at the largest government agencies and enterprises around the world to help security professionals discover and remedy infrastructure security gaps in their networks before hackers can exploit those gaps to launch cyber attacks. The platform continuously visualizes key points of potential security breach, noncompliance, and attack risk in complex enterprise security infrastructure to prioritize remedial actions.

“We are proud to be recognized as the leading provider of continuous monitoring security protection to some of the nation’s largest and most complex government networks,” said Parveen Jain, CEO of RedSeal Networks. “Government Security News’ recognition of RedSeal Networks further validates our commitment to provide our customers with the most advanced network virtualization, risk analysis and assessment tools to protect them from cyber attacks.”

The winners were selected by a blue ribbon panel of judges that included Charles “Chuck” Brooks, vice president/client executive of Xerox and the first director of legislative affairs for the Science and Technology Directorate within DHS; Scott Greiper, president of Secure Strategy Group; Paul Goldenberg, CEO of Cardinal Point Strategies and member of the Homeland Security Advisory Council (HSAC); and Matt Johnson, cybersecurity expert and veteran of the DoD Intelligence Community.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — October 3, 2013—RedSeal (www.redseal.co), the leader in network infrastructure security management, today announced the United States Army has selected the RedSeal platform and its related support services for the Joint Regional Security Stack (JRSS) component of Joint Information Environment (JIE) networks allowing the delivery of multiple new Continuous Monitoring capabilities. The RedSeal platform gives the Army unparalleled proactive network visibility, diagnostics, and mitigation that drives improved cyber-situational awareness.

The Army currently has approximately 400 Internet points of presence – each representing a complex attack surface. By embarking on a strategic upgrade to its current network and security infrastructure, the Army will now be able to reduce its number of Internet interfacing points, thus reducing its overall attack surface area and enabling the RedSeal platform to deliver even greater risk assessment and management results. Gaining increased insight into its network infrastructure will enable the Army to make proactive risk-based decisions about its network security.

“Being selected by the U.S. Army to help take on the very large and complex job of better predicting and assessing the risks facing its network is further testament to the recognition of the powerful capabilities that the RedSeal platform provides,” said Parveen Jain, CEO, RedSeal Networks. “At RedSeal Networks, we recognize and take tremendous pride in the incredibly important role our technology serves in helping secure our nation’s most critical infrastructure by providing previously unachievable levels of actionable visibility and awareness that significantly reduces overall risk to the networks throughout numerous civilian, intelligence and military agencies across the U.S. Federal Government.”

The agreement between the Army and RedSeal Networks is part of the larger shared IT architecture plan announced by the Department of Defense (DoD) this summer. The United States Air Force, Army and Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) agreed to a new architecture-sharing and modernization plan that is expected to increase bandwidth and network security, and will dramatically reduce future spending requirements by approximately $1 billion. Increased network visibility and risk management figures account for a large portion of cost-savings under the new plan.

The RedSeal platform is deployed at the largest government agencies and enterprises around the world to help security professionals discover and remedy infrastructure security gaps in their networks before the hackers exploit those to launch cyber-threats. The platform continuously visualizes key points of potential security breach, non-compliance, and attack risk in complex enterprise security infrastructure to prioritize remedial actions.

Jain added, “As a cornerstone of the defensive toolkits for some of the nation’s largest and most complex networks, RedSeal is playing a major role in the evolution of how security, networking, and risk management professionals are coming together to adopt automation to achieve meaningful situational awareness and make risk-based decisions.”
