RedSeal Systems Security Announces New CEO, Parveen Jain

San Mateo, CA - July 19, 2011- RedSeal Systems, Inc., the market’s leading provider of network security optimization solutions, announced today that board member and security industry expert Parveen Jain has been named as the company’s new chief executive officer.

Having served on RedSeal’s Board of Directors since 2007, Jain brings proven leadership that will allow the company to further its product innovation and empower enterprises to respond to the challenge of ever-growing network security complexity amid persistent threats.

With a distinguished executive and entrepreneurial background, Parveen most recently served as Co-founder and CEO at digital marketing analytics specialists JovianDATA. He previously held the positions of Executive Vice President for Corporate Development and Strategy, CMO & EVP of Marketing at McAfee after the security market leader acquired network security startup IntruVert Networks, of which Jain was Co-founder & CEO.

“I’m excited to assume the role of CEO at RedSeal as the company is poised to redefine its market presence and the incredible value of Network Security Optimization,” Jain said. “The opportunity facing RedSeal cannot be underestimated, as enterprises have invested millions in network security and have no effective means of understanding or measuring how these complex defenses are working to protect critical corporate assets.”

Jain was asked to lead RedSeal based on his proven track record of driving rapid expansion at security startups such as IntruVert which created the industry's first real-time network intrusion detection and prevention system for enterprise and government networks.

“Security professionals in organizations of all sizes are tasked to defend against escalating threats despite shrinking budgets. Addressing the complexity of today’s networks and attacks requires the intelligence and operational insights that RedSeal uniquely delivers, along with the opportunity to optimize security spending,” said Ray Rothrock, Chairman of RedSeal’s Board of Directors. “Parveen will drive RedSeal to even greater success by providing organizations with the products they need to improve their network defenses and prevent the data breaches that dominate today’s headlines.”

John Stewart, industry veteran and a strategic advisor to RedSeal, recognized the significant gap that the company fills in providing organizations with the ability to understand their overall network security standing and create metrics to trend changes over time.

“Despite many years and millions of dollars invested in network security, most organizations still have no idea where their biggest exposures exist in relation to real-world attackers,” said Stewart. “RedSeal provides organizations with an effective way to identify their critical network security weaknesses.”

Jain has a Ph.D. in Nuclear Engineering from the University of Illinois-UC, an MS in Nuclear Engineering from the University of Cincinnati, and a BE in Electric Engineering from the Indian Institute of Science. He has also been granted several patents, authored over 50 papers, and spoken at conferences worldwide.

Beyond the workplace, Parveen has a passion for helping to guide non-profit organizations. He is on the Board of Trustees for the American Federation for the Blind and is a founding advisor to the South Asian Heart Center, as well as the Jain Center of Northern California.

About RedSeal Systems, Inc.

RedSeal Systems develops network security optimization software that enables organizations to assess and strengthen their cyber-defenses.

Cloud Security Reports

report Monitoring And Measuring Cloud Providers' Security Performance
There is no ignoring the cloud, which means that IT professionals must find ways to monitor and measure the performance of cloud providers. While moving even in part to a cloud model is a big change for many reasons, the most significant difference is a loss of direct control. Just as security groups often struggle with managing security inside a corporation when in a governance role, we struggle even more with governing the security of assets that no longer sit within our own data centers. The challenge is to develop and implement a strong governance model for these cloud offerings that ensures that security is part of the conversation.

report How to Manage Identity in the Public Cloud
Use of the public cloud for enterprise applications complicates what was already a complicated task: identity management. As companies increase their use of cloud-based applications, IT and security professionals must make some tough and far-reaching decisions about how to provision, deprovision and otherwise manage user access. This Dark Reading report examines the options and provides recommendations for determining which one is right for your organization.

report Spot Trouble In The Cloud: Adapting Security Monitoring & Incident Response.
Security monitoring, incident response and forensics are essential, even in the cloud. But the cloud by definition implies relinquishing at least some control, which can make these practices problematic. In this report, we identify the challenges of detecting and responding to security issues in the cloud and discuss the most effective ways to address them.
