and Intelligence Information
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. (May 25, 2004) – Reconnex, an enterprise security company pioneering the development of high performance security appliances designed to reduce the costs and damage associated with disclosures of confidential information, today announced its alliance with Safe Harbor Systems (SHS), a leading next-generation information security and systems integration firm. Together, Reconnex and Safe Harbor will identify highly-focused security solutions to solve real world problems and deliver leading edge technologies to the federal government.
Safe Harbor is comprised of experts with long-time experience in the intelligence and defense sectors of the U.S. government. This specialty security boutique firm which concentrates in information assurance services, such as security audits and assessments, content management and policy work, as well as authentication and access control systems. It caters to customers who want to preview technologies and understand the full impact implementing a new technology will have on their organization. Safe Harbor works closely with its prospects during the entire evaluation process and is currently working close with a number of customers who are previewing the Reconnex G2 Content Analyzer security solution in Safe Harbor’s labs.
"Reconnex is a valuable asset to our security solution portfolio, particularly in the area of content analysis and information assurance. By adding Reconnex to our solution set we can provide a highly-customized service," said Keith Filzen, Chief Technology Officer, Safe Harbor Systems. "This allows our clients to implement a closed loop security system that not only detects any network vulnerabilities, but also identifies information exposures that, without Reconnex, would have gone undetected in the past. Partnering with Reconnex was a natural path as we continue to work with the federal government to address their evolving security needs."
Reconnex’s G2 Network Analyzer gives businesses the ability to see all information traveling over the network and provides real-time alerts when confidential or classified information is communicated in violation of company policy. It identifies with accuracy when security disclosures have occurred, what information has left the government agency, where the violation originated and which parties outside the network received the information in question. As part of the strategic alliance, Safe Harbor will be fully Reconnex-certified and trained, enabling its team to also serve as a one-stop-shop for government agencies; SHS will provide all the systems integration and provide technical support necessary for each agency’s unique environment.
"Because of our Safe Harbor’s unique background in serving the needs of intelligence and defense organizations within the federal government, this partnership is extremely valuable as Reconnex works to rapidly meet the growing information security needs within the federal government," said Tom Spadafore, vice president of sales and customer care, Reconnex. "Reconnex’s goal of shifting the security paradigm to focus on classified information and the growing exposure from the insider threats fits nicely with Safe Harbor’s unique set of consulting services and creates a partnership that delivers unparalleled value, security and trust to all our customers."
