RedSeal Networks’ Dr. Mike Lloyd Recognized as CTO of the Year

SANTA CLARA, Calif.–March 5, 2014 –RedSeal Networks, the end-to-end provider of network visibility and analytics to prevent cyber attacks, announced today that Info Security Products Guide, the leading information security research and advisory guide, has named Dr. Mike Lloyd as “CTO of the Year” in their 10th Annual Global Excellence award program.

Dr. Lloyd’s vision drives the continuing success of RedSeal Networks, delivering security automation, unprecedented visibility, and efficient control of complex network defenses. Lloyd focuses on finding the ideal balance of people with machines – helping organizations deal with increasingly complex defensive challenges at a time when experienced personnel remain in short supply.

Research shows that the majority of real-world breaches stem from relatively simple, well-known, old issues that “hide in plain sight,” lost in the ocean of the shifting details of modern infrastructure. The main challenge is not some wave of super-sophisticated novel attacks. These events attract attention, but are actually rare. Most real breaches are easily prevented in hindsight – the problem, of course, is to apply foresight. This concept has informed Dr. Lloyd’s work over 3 decades in network management, optimization, control, and security. The key challenge is to divide the work between machines and human beings. Machines with the right software are tireless and efficient, but do not know how to innovate or get creative. They can exhaustively track down interactions and effects that humans miss, and free humans to focus on what they do best, such as setting strategy and policy.

Dr. Lloyd’s writing on topics such as the ideal “Security War Room,” challenges in Big Data for Security Analytics, BYOD, and Risk Management have driven industry-wide discussions about automation, how to secure rapidly evolving infrastructure, and even implications for legal and insurance accountability.

RedSeal Networks Appoints Board Chairman Ray Rothrock Chief Executive Officer

SANTA CLARA, Calif.– February 12, 2014 –(BUSINESS WIRE)–RedSeal Networks, the leader in network infrastructure security management, today announced that Ray Rothrock, chairman of the board of directors, is appointed chief executive officer (CEO). Rothrock has served as the company’s board chairman since 2004. A renowned venture capitalist whose focus during the early years of the Internet was on infrastructure and security, Rothrock has an extraordinary track record in cyber security investments. Of particular note are IPOs of Check Point Software and Imperva, as well as successful exits such as Pedestal Software, Haystack Labs, Whole Security, Vontu, PGP, and others.

“You cannot secure what you cannot see on your network. Today’s networks are far more complex than ever before and the growing severity and alarming success rates of cyber attacks are on the rise,” said Rothrock. “It is paramount that enterprises and government agencies start getting a better handle on nefarious activities taking place across their complex network infrastructures. Hackers are using automated tools to break into corporate networks. RedSeal provides its customers with automated tools to discover and fix security problems before the hackers find them.”

During his 25-year tenure at Venrock, Rothrock launched the venture capital firm’s Internet practice in 1992 and his investments have landed him on the Forbes Midas List for 2012 and 2013 for his venture track record. Ray retired from Venrock in 2013. Ray currently serves on the boards of Check Point Software Technologies (a Venrock legacy investment), Appthority, CTERA Networks, CloudFlare, RedSeal Networks, and Tri Alpha Energy, all current Venrock portfolio companies.

“Ray has an incredible track record of helping lead and grow successful technology companies, particularly those in the cyber security sector and his passion seems to only grow stronger and more evident each day,” said Tench Cox of Sutter Hill Ventures, investor and board member at RedSeal Networks. “When you couple RedSeal Networks’ superior technology with Ray’s guidance and leadership, you undoubtedly have a winning combination that will enable this organization to continue to expand its footprint across enterprises and government agencies to help ease the woes of network operations and security operations pros who are looking for a better way to navigate their way to a safer corporate network.”

“We have the right technology at the right time. The exceptionally talented team here at RedSeal Networks is poised to take RedSeal to great success. I’m privileged to be asked to lead the team on that mission,” added Rothrock. Mr. Rothrock succeeds Dr. Parveen Jain, who announced his retirement earlier in the week. Jain served as President and CEO of RedSeal Networks since 2011.

RedSeal Networks Announces Security Technical Implementation Guide (STIG) Support for Networking Devices

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — November 5, 2013—RedSeal (www.redseal.co), the leader in network infrastructure security management, today announced Security Technical Implementation Guide (STIG) support for the RedSeal Platform, reducing attack risk for federal customers while also ensuring compliance with mandatory STIG requirements in a single solution and lowering overall cost of security operations. RedSeal Networks provides a network infrastructure security management solution to federal customers, including the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD).

“As the USMC AO, the RedSeal Platform is the only product we have used that has allowed us to demonstrate the impact of the OpFor prior to making requested changes to the MCEN in support of operations,” said Jason Carrier, HQMC C4CY Cyber Assessment Lead at U.S. Marine Corps. “Since requests for modifications can be mapped near real-time, I can visually see the risk and set timelines within the tool to ensure that temporary risks do not become enduring.”

Currently there are at least five vendor solutions used throughout the DoD that do varying degrees of STIG checking, plus manual execution. Support for STIG compliance among network device vendors and systems that analyze devices for security compliance is limited. RedSeal Networks’ solution provides the most turnkey STIG solution with the highest level of accuracy.

“Every customer and prospect that has asked for STIGs wants it because then they only have to go to one place for it, not numerous other solutions,” said Parveen Jain, CEO at RedSeal Networks. “By integrating STIG support into a Network Infrastructure Security Management solution, RedSeal Networks delivers a single powerful solution obviating the need for customers to procure multiple systems.”

“Using the RedSeal Platform to map site infrastructure and test for compliance against DISA STIGs, as well as the ability to compare the documented architecture against the real architecture, has not only saved us hundreds of man hours but increased our coverage from representative sampling to total assets,” said Carrier.

In addition, RedSeal Networks is also offering updated Federal Information Processing Standard Publication 140-2 (FIPS) support, a U.S. government computer security standard. As FIPS 140-2 standards evolve, the RedSeal Platform is updated to ensure that all federal customers that need FIPS 140-2 have the latest and best support.

RedSeal Networks has begun the Common Criteria process, an international standard required by many federal customers, and is also now listed in evaluation ( https://www.cse-cst.gc.ca/en/publication/redseal-platform-v701 ).

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-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.

U.S. Army Selects RedSeal

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.”
