PRESS RELEASE

Portsmouth, NH " September 22, 2009 " NitroSecurity, Inc, today launched the Ecosystem for Security, or "EcoSec", to drive new innovations in information security through collaboration between NitroSecurity and other pioneering security vendors. EcoSec gives partners access to NitroSecurity's NitroEDB " an extremely high-performance data management engine that collects, analyzes and retrieves security events in real-time. The program is designed to immediately improve the scalability and performance of partner products, making newer security technologies easier to deploy by creating a seamless ecosystem between all security systems and solutions running on the network.

The EcoSec program works by exposing NitroSecurity Application Programmer Interfaces (APIs) to EcoSec partners, allowing direct access to core areas of NitroEDB and NitroView ESM (Enterprise Security Manager), recognized as the market's fastest Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) system with the ability to collect events at over 40 million per second and report at a rate of over 1 billion per second. The result is faster information collection, normalization, analysis and data retrieval all with minimal development efforts. These core technologies are abstracted through the APIs, so they can be used solely as a performance engine or as a highly integrated solution built on cross-vendor, collaborative technology.

The EcoSec program provides the industry with a highly-tuned, custom built database, but without the need for vendors to completely re-architect their technology. NitroEDB is made available within as an easily deployed appliance, providing a fully functional implementation with a broad schema that supports most security requirements out of the box, but which is also highly customizable to support new data types or values that might be required within a partner's proprietary systems.

"NitroEDB's scalability and performance allows us to do some unique things within our SIEM," stated NitroSecurity CTO Michael Leland, who spearheaded development of the EcoSec program. "Other vendors can benefit from that performance as well. We feel that we can greatly contribute to other key areas of information security by opening up access to our core technologies." By utilizing NitroEDB within their products, EcoSec partners are also ensuring a strong level of interoperation with NitroSecurity's award-winning SIEM, NitroView Enterprise Security Manager, providing added value to those companies choosing to deploy products from EcoSec companies.

Initial responses to the program have been positive. RazorThreat, a Michigan-based developer of advanced cyber-defense threat detection solutions, is one of the first companies to join the new EcoSec program. The company's own patents allow threat and risk patterns to be detected without requiring a database of signature criteria, thereby detecting the targeted, zero-day threats that other systems miss.

"Through the NitroSecurity EcoSec program, we are able to deliver even more value to our clients," said RazorThreat CEO Greg Guidice. "It is a win-win situation for our clients. By combining Nitro's underlying engine, which can collect and analyze large amounts of data faster than anything we have seen, with RazorThreat's advanced threat detection we can very quickly analyze and detect a breach before it causes catastrophic damage. At the same time, we gain a strong integration with a leading SIEM provider, which we see as a highly complimentary solution to our own."

Additional companies currently in negotiations to join the EcoSec program include threat data visualizations, vulnerability assessment and business risk assessment companies. For more information, visit http://www.nitrosecurity.com/ecosec
