PRESS RELEASE

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--nCircle, the leader in automated security and compliance auditing solutions, today announced new functionality in its flagship product line, Suite360, including an interactive, configurable dashboard, new configuration auditing scan modules and policies, and integration with Cyber-Ark’s Privileged Identity Management (PIM) Suite.

Cyber-Ark Integration

nCircle’s integration with Cyber-Ark enables customers to store and manage their IT systems’ credentials -- as required by authenticated nCircle scans -- directly in the Cyber-Ark Enterprise Password Vault (EPV), improving security and simplifying credentials management. nCircle embedded the Cyber-Ark secure API for Application Identity Management, and the integration provides a single place to manage credentials while safely and securely expanding the scope of scans to provide a comprehensive view of customers’ security and compliance posture.

"Managing credentials is a significant challenge in large enterprises and can be an obstacle to complete network scanning coverage," said Ric Weeks, vice president of business development at Cyber-Ark Software. "The integration of Cyber-Ark's PIM Suite with nCircle Suite360 ensures the protection of credentials while reducing management overhead.”

“Comprehensive network scanning requires a combination of credentialed and un-credentialed scans,” noted Tim Keanini, CTO of nCircle. “nCircle’s integration with Cyber-Ark streamlines our customers’ credentials management process and makes it easier to properly audit the entire network for security and compliance.”

Additional New Features in Suite360 include:

Configurable Dashboard with Interactive Widgets

New in IP360, nCircle’s market-leading vulnerability and risk management system, is an interactive dashboard that users can customize with various widgets that provide multiple tools on a single screen to deliver instant access to often-used features and at-a-glance information about the system. A wide range of new interactive, drag-and-drop widgets are available, including:

* Instant nCircle Focus™ query * nCircle Twitter feed * Configurable welcome message * Scan on demand * Scans in progress * System memory usage meter * System disk usage meter

New Configuration Auditing Scan Modules and Policies
