FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

ScannerX AND Security Compliance Associates PARTNER to offer SECURITY SCANNING SERVICE to CREDIT UNIONS

 

(Atlanta, GA. – June 26, 2006) – ScannerX®, a leading managed vulnerability assessment services provider of cost-effective solutions that identify, manage and defend against security vulnerabilities, today announced a partnership with Security Compliance Associates®, an Information Security compliance consulting company for credit unions throughout the nation. Security Compliance Associates (SCA) will use ScannerX’s Threat Portal®, an enterprise vulnerability management system (VMS) as the central component of the company’s new compliance solutions. 

 

“We are very excited about partnering with ScannerX” said David Miller, CTO of SCA, “SCA continuously strives to offer our clients the best-of-breed services, methodologies, and tools to ensure that their information security programs exceed industry best practices. The new services will provide an excellent complement to SCA’s information security programs.”

 

“Because the entire scanning process is managed from ScannerX’s network of scanning servers, customers do not need to burden their IT departments with downloading, installing, configuring and managing a vulnerability management system of their own,” said Mike Pearson, President and CEO, ScannerX. “By bundling Threat Portal VMS into their solutions, SCA’s clients will now have the ability to be more proactive in discovering and managing internal and external threats to their network”.
