(Morris Plains, NJ) July 28, 2003 – QTS today launched its new QuikSecure? Penetration & Attack Testing Service, in conjunction with and through its partnership with Razorpoint Security Technologies.  Offered exclusively to QTS customers by Razorpoint Security, the QuikSecure PAT offerings package Razorpoint's Attack/Penetration Test services into three levels, specifically targeted to meet the needs of QTS' Medium Business customers.

According to Neil Rosenberg, President and CEO of QTS, "QuikSecure PAT services are the logical next step for QTS customers that have completed QuikSecure Security Assessments and Vulnerability Assessments.  Once the core vulnerabilities defined in these engagements have been identified and addressed, the customer is ready for the next step - a controlled attempt to compromise the customer's network security.

The QuikSecure PAT offering was designed specifically for QTS' QuikSecure customers, noted Gary Morse, President and CEO of Razorpoint Security.  "We have customized this service based on the customer's completion of the first two levels of QTS' QuikSecure approach, and are therefore focusing on penetrating the network with more advanced techniques."

There are three options customers can choose from, depending on their budget and the desired level of thoroughness in evaluating their security.  This makes the service affordable even for a smaller medium-sized business, which was an important consideration in developing the offering according to Rosenberg.  "QTS focuses squarely on the Medium Business market space, and we worked with Razorpoint Security to make sure the solution could be delivered at a price point that made sense, without compromising quality."

According to Rosenberg, security is just as important for mid-sized businesses as it is for large corporations.  "It's all a function of what the value of your systems are to your business," noted Rosenberg.  "If your data isn't valuable, and you don't rely on your systems for day to day operations, then you don't need to pay much attention to Information Security.  On the other hand, we've seen small businesses that are not particularly prominent or visible be attacked - not because of who they are, but because they were connected to the Internet and were easy to attack and exploit.  So, what's the impact of downtime and/or data loss to your business?"

QuikSecure Lifecycle Services

QTS' QuikSecure security life cycle methodology is specifically designed to take a business through the various stages of implementing and managing a network security system.  The components of QuikSecure include:

• QuikSecure Security Policy Development: Using QTS-standardized templates as a starting point, QTS works with the customer to develop an organizational Security Policy to define acceptable use and protect the organization legally and at a business level.  This is the heart of where all of the system's security configurations should come.
• QuikSecure Architecture Service: QTS works with the customer to design a security architecture based on current and future business needs and technology.
• QuikSecure Integration Services: Based on the Security Policy and Security Architecture, QTS implements a network security solution using components from industry-leading manufacturer partners, and provides training so the customer can manage the system on an ongoing basis.
• QuikSecure Assisted Security Management Services: From its Customer Support Center, QTS provides remote monitoring and management services for the customer's Firewall/VPN, Intrusion Detection System, Web Servers and other security components.  This includes reviewing system logs for signs of breach, and verifying proper functionality.  Although this can be done by the customer, this offering is often more cost effective based on centralized expertise and efficiency at QTS.
• QuikSecure Security Evaluation Services: QTS conducts a comprehensive, high-level Security Assessment of the customer's systems, processes and procedures, which can be followed by a Vulnerability Assessment using standardized scanning tools, and then completed with a targeted Penetration & Attack Test (PAT) where advanced techniques are used to attempt the compromise of the network's security.
• QuikSecure Microsoft Platform Review Services: QTS conducts a one week structured program to review security on the customer's Windows, Exchange and SQL Servers, and transfers knowledge regarding security best practices and optimal configurations.

For customers with established security systems, QTS can start with a Security Assessment and Vulnerability Assessment, then work back through the other stages to refine the system.  "Customers can be at different stages, but managing security is an ongoing process" noted Rosenberg.

QuikSecure services are available now from QTS.  Contact your QTS Account Manager for pricing and more information.
