Three that spring to mind are LogiKeep, iDEFENSE, and Para-Protect; the 
latter two are in the Virginia suburbs of D.C., and the first is in scenic 
Dublin, OH.

In the "New Year's resolution to better work one's networks" vein, I'd be 
interested in hearing from folks who could give feedback on a new company's 
"telephone firewall" offering: eNetSecure (which I'm assisting... 
http://www.enetsec.com) has a device that monitors phone lines in the same 
fashion as a traditional firewall monitors data networks.  Their big hook 
is that they can also demodulate and capture data and fax sessions, so one 
could use it as a security chokepoint to capture any outbound information 
flows for retention/review... with fax in particular, where it's difficult 
or impossible to police everyone's internal use, this might be of interest 
in certain more paranoid/regulated sectors, e.g., finance, defense and 
intelligence.
