ATLANTA, Nov. 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Gideon Technologies, the leading provider of information security solutions that help automate, prioritize, and measure IT risk against policy and compliance objectives, announces being named a Top 20 Hot Compliance Product by EverythingChannel and ChannelWeb. Gideon was selected because customers can quickly and easily validate security and compliance with Graham Leach Bliley (GLB), Federal Reserve, Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX), and Payment Card Industry (PCI) regulations, and other standards required for banks and financial service providers.

According to ChannelWeb, "As if they needed more stress, organizations of all sizes are facing regularly evolving and increasingly stringent compliance regulations from the Payment Card Industry, as well as Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPAA and others. These security compliance products are on the 'Hot List' because they can make the audit process a little less excruciating."

"We are pleased to be named a 'Hot PCI Compliance Product' by EverythingChannel and ChannelWeb," said Ken Halley, CEO and co-founder, Gideon Technologies. "SecureFusion simplifies and integrates network discovery, baseline configuration management, vulnerability management, and enables continuous monitoring and reporting for enterprise risks and regulatory PCI compliance. Multiple financial institutions use SecureFusion to validate compliance, gain efficiency, and manage risk."

SecureFusion collects independent measurements of all network nodes - workstations, servers and network devices - assets for a comparison against IT policy. Both vulnerability and configuration management processes are built on a foundation of accurate network discovery and IT visibility. SecureFusion discovery capabilities provide continuous monitoring of the entire enterprise IT footprint to ensure that all IT assets -- including rogue networks and hosts -- are incorporated into the process.

"Many of our banking and finance customers were using multiple solutions and platforms for IT security before implementing our solution, which made enterprise-wide reporting extremely difficult," add Halley. "The lack of an easy-to-use, comprehensive solution for asset discovery, vulnerability management, and configuration management proved a considerable drain on IT resources. SecureFusion gives them the ability to continuously visualize all IT assets, prioritize risk accordingly, and measure remediation efforts for a complete, accurate, and repeatable risk assessment process."
