PRESS RELEASE

PALO ALTO, Calif., June 10, 2010 – HP today announced a new security service to help companies reduce vulnerabilities at the onset of the application development life cycle, thereby reducing the risk of millions of dollars in penalties and patches.

The HP Comprehensive Applications Threat Analysis, available worldwide, is the industry’s first early life cycle security assessment service that increases security assurance by addressing latent defects in applications and architecture.

The service provides architectural as well as design guidance alongside recommendations for security controls and best practices. Companies can then implement recommendations from the assessment’s comprehensive findings report to reduce costs associated with vulnerability rework and potential defects while minimizing the need for post-release updates to address security flaws.

As part of the HP Secure Advantage portfolio, the service helps organizations better address security and regulatory needs. It also defends against attacks while reducing the total cost of application ownership. The service is an integral part of the HP Cyber Security portfolio, which helps organizations leverage advances in technology and share information securely while protecting sensitive information and critical infrastructure.

“Customers are under increasing pressure from threats that exploit security weaknesses that were either missed or insufficiently addressed during early life cycle phases,” said Chris Whitener, chief security strategist, Secure Advantage, HP. “The HP Comprehensive Applications Threat Analysis service helps organizations reduce hidden weaknesses early in the assessment process and provides recommended mitigation strategies and secure design principles.”

The new service offering provides the following capabilities for increased security assurance:

— The Security Requirements Gap Analysis provides clients with access to valuable security expertise and the tools to fix and avoid security issues. This capability closely examines applications to identify often-missed technical security requirements imposed by relevant laws, regulations or practices.

— The Architectural Threat Analysis reduces client rework costs resulting from security scans, penetration tests and other vulnerability-finding activities. This capability identifies changes in application architecture to reduce the risk of latent security defects.

“HP efficiently provided the Comprehensive Applications Threat Analysis service and reliable security advice. During the security assessment, the HP team identified risks and proposed solutions to mitigate current and future vulnerabilities,” said Wallace B. Rodgers, program manager, E-Government, State of Oregon. “We implemented the HP-proposed solutions and are extremely pleased with the security quality assessment as well as recommendations.”

HP is the market leader in security products and services covering the entire application development life cycle from design to production. In addition to the Comprehensive Applications Threat Analysis service, HP offers HP Quality Center for security requirements, HP Application Security Center for web application vulnerability testing and HP Application Security Center of Excellence (CoE) Services to help organizations develop an application security program.

These software and services from HP ensure applications remain secure throughout the development, testing, production and operation phases, as well as help organizations develop their application security. Additionally, the HP Secure Advantage portfolio delivers extensive expertise to meet customers’ diverse security needs while helping them reduce complexity, risk and cost.
