“Solera Networks’ Government Organization Deployment Selected as a Winner in the Forensics Solution Category

SALT LAKE CITY, UT – September 15, 2009 – Info Security Products Guide, the industry’s leading publication on security-related products and technologies, has named Solera Networks’ deployment for a major government organization as the winner of the 2009 Best Deployment Scenario Awards in Network Forensics.

This prestigious award recognizes security vendors with advanced, ground-breaking security solutions that are helping set the bar higher for others in all areas of information security. This deployment at a large government agency was selected because it is a real world solution deployment that is making the most positive impact on security in today’s highly sophisticated and blended attacks environment.

Solera Networks’ DS 5150 10Gb forensics appliance allows the government organization to identify the source of a security event in less than three hours. Solera Networks’ network forensics solution is a significant contrast to the prior system which, in the event of security breach, took 51 hours to track where malware got in, where it went and the extent of its impact throughout the organization.

“Info Security Products Guide’s recognition of this deployment further validates the overwhelmingly positive impact of deploying network forensics into existing security environments,” said Steve Shillingford, CEO of Solera Networks. “Solutions that deliver this magnitude of a return have been the key to our customer’s success in overall network fortification.
