Spectrum Systems, Inc. and Verdasys, Inc. Partner
to Bring State-of-the-Art Enterprise Data Security
to the Federal Government
A solution to assist departments and agencies reach FISMA
compliance
Fairfax, VA and Waltham, MA – January 11, 2005 – Spectrum Systems,
Inc., of Fairfax, VA and Verdasys, Inc. of Waltham, MA announced today
the addition of the Verdasys patent pending Data Security - at the point
of use - platform, Digital Guardian, to Spectrum Systems’ General
Services Administration/Federal Supply Service (GSA/FSS) Schedule
(GS-35F-5192G). For over 18 years, Spectrum Systems has been providing
its customers with a complete application development and protection
capability from concept to long-term productivity optimization and
management. The addition of Digital Guardian (DG) to Spectrum’s
offerings will provide the Federal government with a security solution
that will help them capture the information needed for FISMA reporting,
protect information, and meet increasing auditing and compliance
requirements around data and data usage.
“Spectrum is the leader in presenting innovative technology to the Federal
government,” said Seth Birnbaum, CEO of Verdasys, Inc. “Our
partnership will be focused on bringing the Federal government
solutions that address the need for technology that enables
organizations to understand all risks to their data, monitor the use
of file and application access while preventing unauthorized or
inappropriate actions that can put information in jeopardy. We’re
thrilled to be working with a leading, world-class partner in this
important market”.
The Verdasys platform, Digital Guardian (DG), offers point-of-use monitoring,
reporting, and control of an organization’s digital assets. DG has
helped commercial organization’s monitor data for inappropriate use,
protect intellectual property from threats from insider abuse, and
provide enforcement of data usage policies that have resulted from
new regulations (i.e., Sarbanes/Oxley, HIPAA, and ITAR). With the
pressure of the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA),
the primary legislation governing federal information security,
federal departments and agencies are in need of a solution that can
help them meet the Act’s compliance requirements. By offering full
data object and application visibility at the desktop or server, DG
enables full enumeration of past actions (i.e., complete
accountability when Government organizations share information),
while also proactively enforcing compliance with FISMA and Privacy
regulations.
"The Federal government’s need to mitigate risks associated with the
inappropriate or unauthorized use, modification, and distribution of
sensitive, proprietary and regulated information by insiders is well
recognized, “said Ronald Segal, president of Spectrum Systems.
“Verdasys’ Digital Guardian takes an innovative approach to this
problem by providing a means to monitor and manage information at
the point-of-use – the desktop, server or workstation. We are very
pleased to offer this solution to our federal clients.“
“The Federal government is a significant market for Verdasys,” said Michael
Jacobs, Vice-President of Sales for Verdasys “By aligning with
Spectrum, we will be able to use the GSA Schedule to facilitate
addressing the requirements of our clients for assuring compliance
with governance and privacy regulations. We can now offer Digital
Guardian to government agencies to provide unparalleled safeguarding
of privacy data and to prevent the misuse and theft of intellectual
property or sensitive information.”
