  SAN MATEO, CA, Jul 14 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
RedSeal Systems, Inc. (www.redseal.net), the leading vendor of security
posture management solutions, today announced that Comprehensive Health
Services, Inc. (CHS), the largest independent provider of onsite
workforce health centers and national examination programs, has selected
RedSeal's software to achieve, maintain and prove compliance with
industry security regulations and best practices.

    "As a healthcare company, demonstrating HIPAA compliance is critical,
especially with the introduction of ARRA and HITECH initiatives. RedSeal's
risk management software helps us ensure that as custodians of people's
personal and medical information we are in a better position to safeguard
that data," said Ryan Trost, Director of Security and Privacy at CHS and
author of Practical Intrusion Analysis. "In addition, as a result of the
number of data breaches climbing exponentially every day, companies must
take a proactive stance to evaluate the integrity of their network in
'real-time.' By importing network device configurations and vulnerability
assessments, RedSeal can analyze our network's defensive posture in
minutes, as opposed to what used to take me days using NIST SP 800-53 best
practices for information security."

    "RedSeal is pleased that healthcare leader CHS has selected RedSeal
software as a key part of its compliance strategy," commented Steve
Dauber, Vice President of Marketing at RedSeal Systems. "With both
regulatory and business mandates to secure personally identifiable
information, RedSeal software provides our customers with critical
assurance that their networks and systems comply with internal security
policies as well as government regulation."

    RedSeal software brings a new level of insight to network and system
security. It automatically analyzes the interaction of every component in
an enterprise's network infrastructure and the security of each underlying
component, enabling the company to understand the network access enabled
to any point in the infrastructure and to validate compliance with
security standards. In addition, RedSeal prioritizes vulnerability
remediation by combining the vulnerability of each individual system with
the ability of an attacker to access it -- either directly over the
network or through a leapfrog attack from other systems. With RedSeal
software, enterprises can make better, more informed security decisions
and optimize their overall security processes.

    About RedSeal Systems, Inc.

    RedSeal Systems develops security posture management software that enables
organizations to assess and strengthen their cyber-defenses. Unlike
systems that detect attacks once they occur, RedSeal identifies holes in
the security infrastructure that could be exploited -- before they are
discovered by hackers. RedSeal software analyzes and simplifies the
complex interaction of firewalls, routers, load balancers and hosts,
delivering in-depth understanding of overall security posture, continuous
compliance with regulations such as PCI, FISMA, and SOX, and actionable
steps for risk remediation. For more information, visit RedSeal at
