iPolicy Networks Extends Analysis and Reporting Capabilities for the Intrusion Prevention Firewall through Partnership with eIQnetworks

eIQnetworks Network Security Analyzer™ Provides Security Administrators Granular Security Event Visibility and Management

FREMONT, Calif. – March 29, 2005 – iPolicy Networks, inventor of the Intrusion Prevention Firewall for real-time network protection, announced today a partnership with eIQ Networks, Inc., a leader in network security events analysis and reporting. Under the terms of the agreement, eIQ Networks is extending its Network Security Analyzer Enterprise solution to provide comprehensive analysis and reporting for all iPolicy Networks products. The collaborative effort leverages the strengths of both companies. iPolicy Networks’ customers will be able to avail themselves of a feature-rich graphical report generation and monitoring tool that distills the large amounts of security events and traffic data collected by the intrusion prevention firewalls and translate them into actionable information, enhancing their security posture.

“As the number and sophistication of network attacks continue to increase, users need higher visibility into network security events and to understand how events generated as a result of a blended attack relate to each other” said Vijay Basani, CEO of eIQnetworks “the powerful and flexible Network Security Analyzer takes advantage of the wealth of security information generated by the iPolicy Intrusion Prevention Firewall to deliver comprehensive understanding of an organization’s security posture. We are proud to partner with an industry leader such as iPolicy Networks.”

iPolicy Networks’ Single Pass Architecture ‘ enables the iPolicy Intrusion Prevention Firewall to successfully block today’s increasingly sophisticated threats and network-based attacks, with no compromise in data throughput performance or packet latency. The iPolicy Intrusion Prevention Firewall incorporates multiple firewall defense mechanisms including stateful firewall, intrusion detection and prevention, DoS and DDoS mitigation, URL filtering, and more. It effectively safeguards networks at throughputs from 140 Mbps to 4 Gbps, and its performance remains virtually unaffected as the number of security policy rules, concurrent sessions, or enabled security functions are increased.

“The eIQ Network Security Analyzer is a welcome addition for iPolicy Networks’ enterprise and service provider customers who have sophisticated or customized security reporting needs” said Arun Chandra, CEO of iPolicy Networks, “the combination of eIQnetwork’s award-winning reporting and analysis platform and of iPolicy Networks’ intrusion prevention firewall’s breadth and depth of security provides customers with unrivaled visibility and protection against threats and attacks to their information infrastructure”

The eIQnetworks Network Security Analyzer for iPolicy Networks products will be generally available from iPolicy Networks and its channel partners April 15th, 2005. Pricing depends on the number iPolicy Intrusion Prevention firewalls monitored.
