Information Risk Modeling Firm Prevari Launches Technology Risk Manager Technology Risk Modeling Tool

Offers Only Quantitative Method to Measure, Manage Technology Risk

MINNEAPOLIS - February 10, 2005 - Prevari, a firm dedicated to improving the way businesses manage technology risk, today launched Technology Risk Manager, the only quantitative information risk modeling tool which provides a predictive view of technology risk based upon a network's core software.

Technology Risk Manager helps CEO's, CIO's and Security Officers to stop managing technology risk in a reactive mode, and start managing a predictive risk environment.

Beyond the current threat management paradigm, Technology Risk Manager interrogates the structure of a network and assesses the inherent risk based on a multi-dimensional analysis of the fundamental components of the network, providing clients with understanding of the flaws and weaknesses that exist over and above known vulnerabilities..

Using a consistent and repeatable process, Technology Risk Manager provides the referential integrity necessary to help clients understand the performance their security investments are having over time.

Technology Risk Manager is the perfect risk modeling solution for businesses attempting to address HIPAA SOX and other compliance regulations. Subscribing to Technology Risk Manager over time establishes both a baseline performance indicator and relevant performance metrics that demonstrate ongoing governance effectiveness.

"One of our healthcare clients is currently undergoing a HIPPA audit and they've been told they have 72 items to execute," said KoniKaye Jeschke, Prevari CEO. "With the Technology Risk Manager modeling capability, the client is able to model the impact that each of these 72 tasks will have on the healthcare organization's risk. With these visual risk models, the executive team will be able to make more informed risk management decisions than they are currently able to."

"Preavri gives us a tool to gauge our internal security risk," said Paul Iverson, First Minnesota Bank CIO and Risk Security Officer. "it also helps us identify necessary system changes which can improve security audits".

Because Technology Risk Manager provides a consistent, repeatable and measurable approach to evaluating technology risk, executives, auditors and IT professionals now share a common tool that enables them to know they are making the right technology risk funding and implementation decisions over a sustained period of time.
