re your question about companies doing security intelligence...
( BW)(CA-SECURITYFOCUS.COM) SecurityFocus.com Secures Funding to Launch New
Security Intelligence Services; Investment Brings Series B Funding to $2.5
Million
Business Editors & High Tech Writers
SAN MATEO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 9, 2001-- SecurityFocus.com,
the leading provider of security intelligence services for business, today
announced that it has closed on an additional $1 million of Series B
funding, bringing the total Series B to $2.5 million. The capital was
provided by a group of private angel investors. The company will use the
funds to accelerate the launch of its next generation of security
intelligence services.
Security intelligence encompasses the latest information about
software vulnerabilities, viruses, breaking news and attacks, which enable
companies to prevent security breaches. Without the benefit of security
intelligence, attackers can go right through correctly configured security
products and gain full access and control of companies' data and information.
"We are excited about the launch of our new set of security
intelligence services," said Arthur Wong, chief executive officer of
SecurityFocus.com. "This investment enables us to expand our leadership
position beyond our existing licensing services and reach a broader base of
customers."
SecurityFocus.com has partnered with a number of leading security
product and service providers to deliver security intelligence services to
corporate customers. Partners include Articon Integralis, Counterpane
Internet Security, Inc., Intrusion.com, METASeS, OneSecure, and Qualys.
The SecurityFocus.com vulnerability database is currently available
for license globally on a subscription basis. The new security intelligence
services are scheduled to roll out in the first quarter of 2001.
