MISSION VIEJO, Calif. --(Business Wire)-- May 4, 2004 -- Application Security, eSecurity, Global Hauri, Secure Elements and Zone Labs become Foundsecure(TM) partners

Foundstone Inc., experts in strategic security, today announced that five more industry-leading security and risk management companies have joined the Foundsecure(TM) strategic partner program. Application Security, eSecurity, Global Hauri, Secure Elements and Zone Labs have each partnered with Foundstone to integrate technologies.

"Network security is a high profile imperative for most organizations today," said William Boni, vice president and chief information security officer for Motorola. "However, we don't operate with unlimited budget and resources. Ready integration of security products allows us to stretch our resources to more efficiently achieve the security goals of the organization."

"Zone Labs' partnership with Foundstone reflects growing customer demand for integrated, best-of-breed security solutions," said Paul Weinstein, vice president of business development and international operations. "This partnership provides both Foundstone and Zone Labs customers with the opportunity to expand their security portfolio while protecting their existing investments."

According to a 2003 survey conducted by market research firm IDC, security is the number one priority for IT managers. The Foundsecure partner program enables solution providers to respond to that demand with comprehensive, well-integrated, high-quality solutions that include Foundstone's vulnerability management products and services.

"The Foundsecure partner program has gained significant traction since its launch in January," said David Canavan, vice president of business development for Foundstone. "Our ability to attract top security and risk management solution providers is testament to our ongoing commitment to building the most effective real world risk management solutions available."

Foundstone's Enterprise Risk Solutions software helps organizations comprehensively discover, inventory and prioritize all assets on a global network. The suite provides exceptionally accurate, high-speed vulnerability assessment of all network assets, intuitive reports and metrics, and a tightly integrated remediation module which provides security managers unequaled, step-by-step control over the entire vulnerability management process.
