MAYNARD, Mass. & ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 6, 2005-- Leading Information Security Consulting Firm Selects Tizor Vision and Products as a Provider of Data Server Activity Auditing Solutions to Diverse Client Base

To help address the multiple regulatory and compliance mandates, Tizor, a leading provider of data server activity auditing solutions for identity theft detection and compliance auditing, has formed a partnership with leading security consulting firm Vigilar. With major compliance regulations mandating audit logging of compliance activities for detecting the unauthorized use of non-public information, the partnership of Tizor and Vigilar offers a combination of expert risk analysis and comprehensive auditing solutions to help organizations more effectively meet stringent regulatory mandates.

The arrangement establishes Tizor as a provider of data server activity monitoring solutions to Vigilar, empowering Vigilar's current clients and the market with a scalable, independent data auditing solution to better control risk exposure of business-critical information.

Most organizations have multiple regulatory responsibilities that impact their data and customers. Tizor's real-time monitoring of user activity around regulated information sets the standard for a reasonable level of care and is easily customized for the unique requirements of HIPAA, CA 1386/1950, Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX), the Gramm-Leach Bliley Act (GLBA), Visa CISP/PCI and others. The partnership with Vigilar extends the strategic benefit of the Tizor solution by providing expert analysis of customer risk management and implementation of cost-effective data security programs that include custom policies to detect unauthorized use of information and enable executive-level reporting.

Tizor is meeting the strong market demand for solutions that automate custom auditing policies, establish best practices for regulatory compliance and detect and stop information theft in real-time, said Prat Moghe, founder and CEO of Tizor Systems. "This strategic partnership provides customers with a powerful combination - our expertise in pioneering data server auditing and compliance solutions and Vigilar's reputation as the leader in information security consulting. Together we will help to alleviate the information security challenges plaguing organizations today."

Under the agreement, Vigilar will offer Tizor's TZX(TM), the industry's first comprehensive data server activity auditing solution with patent-pending Behavioral Fingerprinting(TM) technology, to establish a common auditing platform across databases, file servers and application servers, providing customers with a cost-effective data center security solution for compliance auditing and identity theft protection.

For internal auditors and risk managers, Tizor's data server activity auditing solution is a must-have in order to align audit and risk management functions across the organization, said Palaniswamy (Raj) Rajan, Vigilar's President and CEO. "By partnering with Tizor, we are able to further provide the auditing capabilities that our clients require while dramatically reducing the operational costs of assuring regulatory compliance. Through this partnership, we reaffirm our long-standing commitment to deliver to our client's solutions to keep ahead of the increasingly dynamic risk landscape."
