Johannesburg, 23 Jan 2007

Altech NamITech, provider of leading-edge innovative secure technology and information security solutions aimed at facilitating trusted card technology, payment solutions, managed services and digital trust services for its customers, has been awarded value-added reseller status by the local market leader in vulnerability management and analysis, Cubico Solutions, to provide its flagship technology, Foresight, to the southern African market.

Being provided and supported by local corporations that understand the South African IT landscape, Foresight has been designed to effectively operate in networking environments that are both heavily bandwidth constrained and in networks where bandwidth is readily available.

Foresight has also received the local accreditations and certifications required for use within South African government and parastatal organisations.

By partnering with Cubico Solutions, Foresight enables Altech NamITech to provide a cost-effective security-centric service to customers, and to ensure that all identified vulnerabilities are controlled, quantified and rapidly mitigated with a high degree of accuracy, ensuring a fast return on investment.

Furthermore, Foresight will enable customers to track enterprise security and provide a mechanism to precisely measure the performance of service level agreements and security-based key performance indicators in place with their existing IT complement and outsourcing partners.

Altech NamITech, a provider of vulnerability management services since 2001, has partnered with Cubico Solutions as the partner of choice. The decision to partner with Cubico Solutions was based on the many advantages of adopting the Foresight technology, including the current and projected market requirements. With the deployment of the new VAMS (vulnerability management services) framework, Altech NamITech will be able to provide multiple delivery topologies into the southern African market and offer tailored service level agreements to its customers.

The VAMS framework complements our existing information security offering ensuring our 24x7 managed services engineers and analysts have more current status on our clients.

Current VAMS services available through Altech Namitech:

* VAMS - Onsite
* VAMS - Remote
* VAMS - Shared Services
* VAMS - External (Internet)

In partnership with Cubico Solutions, Altech NamITech offers a free vulnerability scan available for interested parties. To obtain a voucher, please contact isssales@namitech.com.

(Free scans are bound to a limited timeframe, and limited amount of scans and would need to be agreed by the Altech NamITech - Account Manager.)

Foresight

Foresight, developed by Cubico Solutions, is an automated, agentless, end-to-end vulnerability management technology that identifies and provides solutions to IT security issues ranging from misconfigurations, vulnerabilities and backdoors to Trojans, buffer-overflows and denial of service issues. The identified vulnerabilities are then processed for reporting across various business layers - providing non-technical data to executive management, supplying the business with uncensored information to make well informed business decisions on IT security, across to in-depth technical data for engineers to mitigate issues. In addition, Foresight correlates identified vulnerabilities to fiscal values so that customers can better understand the financial impact an exploited vulnerability can have on their businesses and their bottom line.
