Secure Elements CEO to Discuss Industry Imperatives for Next Generation Security and Compliance Solutions at 2nd Annual Information Security & Data Center Conference

HERNDON, VA - Feb 9, 2006 - Secure Elements, Inc., the leader in enterprise vulnerability management and compliance risk reduction solutions, announced today that Ned Miller,  their chief executive officer, will present at the Americas Growth Capitals 2nd Annual Information Security & Data Center Conference.  Miller will explore the convergence of markets in the IT and security industry, the emergence of sophisticated zero-day threats, and the compliance imperatives that demand industry to begin addressing threats with a new paradigm. 

Who:  Ned Miller, Chief Executive Officer, Secure Elements

Ned Miller, founder and CEO of Secure Elements, is a seasoned entrepreneur who has developed leading-edge solutions to meet the demands of the dynamic security threat landscape. Prior to founding Secure Elements, Miller served as a key executive at Recourse Technologies, a security company which was acquired by Symantec Corporation for $135 million in August of 2002. Miller serves as the Director of Strategic Relations of the National Capital Region, Information Systems Security Association (ISSA) and is an active member for The Center for Internet Security and the Industry Advisory Council (IAC).

When:  Monday, February 13, 2006, 4:20 p.m. PST

What:  The convergence of vulnerability and compliance management, and the imperative next generation security solutions.

Secure Elements has developed the C5 Enterprise Vulnerability Management suite that is comprised of four key modules:  Asset Inventory and Control, Compliance and Audit Management, Active Policy Enforcement, and Vulnerability Assessment and Remediation.  C5 EVM puts companies on the path to long-term information security and regulatory compliance.  It is a compliance management solution that provides a real-time picture of a network and assets at all times, and provides an integrated and automated means of assessing and remediating vulnerabilities and threats while not limiting enterprise network's performance.

After much in-depth industry analysis, Secure Elements realized that solutions for assessing the security and compliance posture of massive IT infrastructures have not significantly changed in the last ten years.  Perhaps theyve gotten a bit faster, and generate a few less false positives, but they do not provide the speed, and relevance, of results required in todays risk prone world replete with cyber-criminals and the reality of zero-day threats.  A new paradigm must emerge, where one can query their IT infrastructure regarding new threats or potential compliance exposures, and get immediate answers that are actionable and relevant.  Launching Q2 2006, C5 Insight, powered by Google, is one such solution. Join Ned Miller to learn more about this revolutionary security solution.
