Legacy of Unsecured Data As Large Enterprises Grapple With User Security Issues, A Critical Problem Comes Into Focus: How to Secure User Management Across the Entire Enterprise to Protect Vital Information Assets? NEW YORK, July 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Secured Services Inc. (OTC:SSVC) (BULLETIN BOARD: SSVC) has identified a major problem facing thousands of companies that are trying desperately to manage user security under strict new government regulations. Most of the users in the large enterprise require access to legacy computer applications that utilize old programming languages and cannot be affordably or timely secured with traditional measures. So what is a business to do? Do nothing and risk jail time and enormous personal fines for company executives; throw away the legacy applications that have run reliably for decades and the substantial capital investment in them? Spend at least as much again as has been invested over the last twenty five years to recode all these mission critical applications or spend enormous amounts to custom fit large bulky solutions that are really just retreads of old enterprise management solutions from fat old school software companies -- and suffer enormous monetary expenditures, large outages and monumental delays in getting your users securely to the applications they need to do their job? Until now, those were the only options. Secured Services has introduced the Identiprise Suite, the only interoperable user management software suite that offers advanced integration with legacy, client server and web applications across the entire enterprise, otherwise known as Enterprise Identity and Access Management Software (EIAM). Speaking in English, this means that a large organization can provide users access to its business applications securely across the enterprise, from desktop to mainframe, without having to recode, buy new equipment spend many millions on consulting, face fines or jail time or suffer agonizing setbacks. "We have a unique opportunity to provide a solution that addresses the real concerns of large enterprise customers today. We can very quickly integrate with all of our customers' applications and immediately provide benefits from increased user manageability and productivity to highly valuable compliance reporting," said Michael Smith, Chief Technology Officer of Secured Services. "Companies can secure user access to their applications and become fully compliant under Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPAA, the Patriot Act and the other new security standards -- and get back to business!" At the core of Secured Services' offering is the Identiprise Suite software platform. The Identiprise Suite brings true enterprise-wide identity and access management to organizations by supplying a more robust approach to security, which features: * Rapid Deployment -- Technology and implementation focused on an exponentially shorter time to production resulting in the lowest total cost of ownership available. It is simply a more effective and more affordable solution for large- and medium-sized organizations with multiple applications and locations. * Minimized Code and Infrastructure Infringement -- The Identiprise Suite-enabled organization does not need to recompile legacy and client/server applications. Most applications can use this highly secure EIAM solution with very little interaction with the programming and research and development teams. * Auditing and Reporting -- The Identiprise Software Suite allows for detailed reporting of user access privileges and day to day activity. The Identiprise software continually logs user activity and allows advanced enterprise-wide dashboards to be created for the organization's security officer. * Security Software Interoperability -- Identiprise integrates with previously installed and currently "in progress" tactical implementations of Identity Management software from most other vendors whose software will not economically span the entire enterprise. Identiprise creates highly secure connections to most other identity and access management software that are compatible with SAML/SOAP and other proprietary identity management and access control solutions. According to Ron Bevan, VP of sales for the Secured Services, "Demand for data security has never been greater. We are responding to this need by increasing our sales team and our distribution partners to keep up with the requests for information on the Identiprise Suite and how it can meet their complex needs for data security."
