Accuvant Rolls Out Technology Optimization Program

PRESS RELEASE

DENVER " September 1, 2009 - Accuvant, a leading provider of information security, risk and compliance management consulting services, announced today the availability of their Technology Optimization Program service, which is designed to help organizations better manage, configure, tune and maximize the value of their current technology investments. "More and more companies are challenged with meeting strict data security standards but with fewer staff and an increasingly limited ability to upgrade or purchase new technology," said Dan Burns, Accuvant's vice president of sales. "Accuvant's Technology Optimization Program is the ideal solution for organizations that need to consistently deliver high quality business services regardless of the constraints. This service ensures the current technology in a client's infrastructure is being used to its fullest extent, configured optimally for the environment, and that any weaknesses are identified and addressed in a cost-effective manner." For every project, the company utilizes a methodology that includes: Baseline Analysis: Accuvant helps customers identify the original need for each technology within the environment through interviews, documentation and process review, ultimately creating a baseline of requirements. Technology Optimization: Accuvant's consultants analyze and realign existing investments to better suit their originally intended need, newly identified requirements or to realize unused functionality, enabling clients to extend the benefit of their technology investments without incurring additional cost. Technology optimization capabilities range from system check-ups to deep-level manual configuration review, analysis and remediation services. Documentation Creation: Following analysis, an action plan is created. This deliverable includes clearly defined strategies a client can easily follow and implement in order to maintain or augment their existing environment and make better use of what they already have.

Accuvant's Technology Optimization Program offering is ideal for enterprise organizations that need to reduce costs, mitigate risk and roll out new business services. Recently, a Fortune 100 financial services company utilized Accuvant's Technology Optimization Program service to make better use of an existing Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solution. They needed to quickly discover the state of the SIEM environment and craft an integration strategy to optimize the environment and reduce operating costs. Following the TOP implementation, the company estimates that they reduced their network and security infrastructure operating costs by 40 percent. They also were able to achieve a nearly 950 percent improvement in performance, a 60 percent reduction in storage requirements and a 70 percent reduction in daily events*. Accuvant estimates the customer was also able to avoid $3.5 million in additional network storage hardware purchases.
