Prevari Releases Technology Risk Manager v3.4, Further Leveraging McAfee SIA Partnership

Minneapolis, MN. December 18, 2008 - Prevari, a security product and risk management company today announced the latest release of its Technology Risk Manager (TRM) product line, TRM 3.4. Working in partnership with McAfee through both the Security Innovation Alliance (SIA) as well as a royalty-sales based partnership, TRM is now positioned to accept and disseminate data from McAfee Risk and Compliance tools such as Foundstone, ePolicy Auditor, and ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO).

"TRM's ability to generate repeatable and objective risk metrics using various inputs from the McAfee security suite enables clients to see their exact state of risk," said KoniKaye Jeschke, Prevari CEO. "The ability to calculate quantitative risk metrics and model risk and compliance decisions to support critical enterprise IT security decisions is a powerful management tool" said Jeschke.

"Senior technology executives in government and industry are continuously being asked to report and demonstrate progress against multiple standards and frameworks for both internal and external regulatory requirements. TRM is one of few tools that provide the capability for technologists to measure the systems strength of existing environments and model the impact of additional compensating controls and policies", said Frank McLallen, Prevari VP Sales and Marketing. "Release v3.4 enables TRM to export data to third party-tools and reporting formats such as the McAfee GRC suite as well as satisfying Federal POAM requirements", said McLallen.

According to industry analyst Stephen Walker, Aberdeen Group, "this capability addresses a key element in the Governance, Risk and Compliance market, that being the ability for non-technical executives to be equipped with meaningful business metrics derived from their state of risk and compliance". "Further, by implementing a metric-based framework, senior leadership can truly derive a model whereby ROI, compliance, and risk have a direct relationship".
