Alert Logic Teams with NaviSite to Deliver IT Compliance, Security Solutions

NaviSite to Help its Customers Comply with PCI, Other Regulations using Alert Logic's SaaS-Based Solutions

HOUSTON, TX - OCTOBER 7, 2008 - Alert Logic, an award-winning provider of on-demand IT compliance and security solutions, today announced that it has signed a partnership agreement with NaviSite, a leading provider of enterprise hosting and application solutions. Under terms of the agreement, NaviSite will offer Alert Logic's Log Manager and Threat Manager to its managed hosting customers.

Log Manager gives organizations the ability to secure their networks and comply with regulations that mandate log data be collected, regularly reviewed, and securely archived. Threat Manager combines intrusion detection and vulnerability management technology to offer protection from viruses, worms, and other threats that easily bypass perimeter and endpoint defenses.

Many of NaviSite's customers increasingly must comply with industry and government regulations such as Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX), Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), and the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA).

NaviSite's e-commerce customers are especially impacted by the PCI DSS, a set of 12 data security-related requirements that establish common processes and precautions for handling, processing, storing, and transmitting credit card data. Both Log Manager and Threat Manager provide many of the technologies required to maintain compliance with the PCI DSS. Since they can be purchased as add-on services to NaviSite's managed hosting solutions, customers can greatly simplify the process of satisfying several PCI DSS requirements.

"In addition to offering advanced managed hosting services, we want to provide our customers with add-on services that address the security and compliance challenges they face," said Mark Clayman, Senior Vice President of Hosting Services at NaviSite. "As we are called upon to help our customers comply with PCI, we are especially glad to add Log Manager and Threat Manager to our portfolio of products."

Both Log Manager and Threat Manager are delivered via a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform, which will enable NaviSite to quickly deploy the solutions on behalf of its customers. This delivery model provides NaviSite's customers with the ability to access Log Manager and Threat Manager through a web browser – with no software installation or maintenance required.

"NaviSite is focused on helping its customers comply with regulations such as the PCI DSS and we are excited that our products will be offered as part of that solution," said Michael Turner, Alert Logic's president and CEO. "With the combination of NaviSite's managed hosting services and Alert Logic's security and compliance solutions, customers will have a much easier time complying with PCI DSS and enhancing their overall security posture."

As part of the new partnership agreement, NaviSite will become a member of Alert Logic's Vanguard Program. Vanguard Program members benefit from unique, on-demand security and log management solutions that are competitively priced; accelerated sales cycles and incremental and recurring subscription revenues; minimal management and support effort; and comprehensive sales, marketing and technical support.
