Exceptional Software Partners with eIQnetworks

Companies team up to provide Information Security services.

Linthicum, MD (PRWEB) June 22, 2007 -- Exceptional Software Strategies, Inc., a premiere provider of information technology solutions and services for the Baltimore-Washington area, is pleased to announce a new partnership with eIQnetworks, Inc. This partnership allows Exceptional Software to resell and support eIQnetworks' flagship Security Information Management (SIM) solution, SecureVue™, as well as their Enterprise Security Analyzer.

Federal agencies managing complex distributed infrastructures are under increasing pressure to maintain strict security standards without discouraging collaboration or exceeding budgetary limitations. SecureVue combines Configuration, Asset, Performance, Vulnerability and NetFlow Analytics with Log Management into a single system. Powered by eIQnetworks' unified IT risk management platform, SecureVue uses an integrated data model to extend beyond traditional SIM. It offers insight into security, risk, and compliance across network, system and application layers. With end-to-end correlation and advanced policy management, SecureVue delivers effective incident identification that enables organizations to quickly understand and fix the root cause of problems before business is impacted.

"Federal CISOs are facing regulatory pressure of FISMA, internal and external threats and accountability for information loss and theft -- all while trying to manage rising infrastructure costs," said Paul Stasko, Vice President and Co-Founder of Exceptional Software Strategies. "eIQnetworks' comprehensive solutions help government agencies cost-effectively meet stringent security, compliance and operational efficiency requirements by integrating critical security and networking data on one unified platform."

Exceptional Software is excited about the growth opportunities this partnership presents, and plans to expand service and support capabilities, as well as Information Security solutions. This partnership presents great potential for both the company and its mission of supporting the government sector. eIQnetworks will be available through Exceptional Software's GSA schedule in July, 2007.
