Credit Suisse Recognized for Innovative Security Risk Management Project, Turning Semi-Annual Risk Assessments into Daily Risk-Based Views
of Infrastructure and Assets

SAN JOSE, CA – October 3, 2006 – Skybox® Security, Inc., the leader in Security Risk Management (SRM), today announced that its customer, Credit Suisse, was selected as one of Network World’s 2006 Enterprise All-Star Award winners. The awards recognize exceptional use of network technology to further business objectives across a range of industry segments including government, education, financial services and healthcare. Credit Suisse was recognized as one of 40 innovative IT organizations for the prestigious 2006 award.
                                       
In October 2004, Credit Suisse brought in Skybox Security’s Skybox Secure™ application to take daily security snapshots of its 14 mission-critical global points of presence. With the Skybox virtual modeling and risk analytics technology, Credit Suisse was able to automate a semiannual, resource-intensive risk assessment process and turn it into a daily risk-based view of the organization’s infrastructure and its assets. By visualizing and mitigating threats quickly and efficiently, Credit Suisse realized a full ROI in a little more than a year, and a 300% ROI in three years.

“By automating today’s tedious network security risk management process, Credit Suisse is a model for the industry toward moving to a more proactive IT security best practice. We are thrilled to have them as a 2006 Enterprise All-Star,” said Beth Schultz, Editor, Signature Series supplements for Network World.

“We applaud Credit Suisse for helping shape the industry with its innovative application of our security risk management software. With Skybox View, some the world’s largest IT organizations are able to reduce risk and streamline policy compliance by modeling security threats, identifying their root cause, and analyzing the impacts in order to make better business decisions,” said Gidi Cohen, president and CEO of Skybox Security.

With Skybox View® Platform, security and IT operations teams for the first time can use a common platform to automate the previously disparate and manual processes associated with: risk exposure assessment, network policy compliance, firewall configuration audit, and change assurance. With Skybox View IT managers can: make better security and network configuration decisions; automate labor-intensive processes; uncover policy violations; optimize network controls; and invest in the right areas.

The award-winning network IT projects are profiled in a special September 25th issue. For the full Network World article visit: http://www.networkworld.com/allstar/2006/092506-security-case-studies.html.
