e-Security Receives Technology Recognition From Frost & Sullivan for Its iSCALE(TM) Architecture and Integration With Microsoft Products

Frost & Sullivan's recent analysis of World Security Event Correlation Markets recognized e-Security, Inc. as the recipient of the 2005 Technology Innovation Award for its innovative iSCALE(TM) architecture and tight integration with Microsoft's products. One of the first entrants into the security event correlation (SEC) market, e-Security continues to leverage extensive history and experience in the market with an attitude of continuous innovation.

e-Security has always had a reputation for being competitive with a strong focus on scalability. The company's Sentinel 5 security information management solution, with its iSCALE(TM) architecture, is an innovation in the SEC market. The architecture is message bus-based, allowing the system to avoid the typical bottlenecks in the database.

"By using a unique data tagging system, an SEC system's quality of service can be maintained, stopping it from drowning itself in the event of an attack or due to spikes in traffic," says Frost & Sullivan research analyst Robert Ayoub. "This ability to operate under stress is imperative in this market."

The most critical time for an SEC system to be operational is during an attack and if a system fails during periods of increased traffic, it can leave the organization vulnerable to attack. The e-Security iSCALE(TM) architecture eliminates the need for new database installations to handle increased event loads, allowing systems to be distributed by simply adding another server.

Also unique is e-Security's relationship with Microsoft Corporation. e-Security is the only SEC vendor to fully integrate its solution with the Microsoft SQLServer 2005 to go along with their long-term support of Oracle's database technologies.

Given the large number of Microsoft-centric organizations and the popularity of the company's SQL Server product, e-Security's integration of its products with the database provides a compelling value proposition for organizations already familiar with Microsoft's technology.

Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents this Award to a company that has exhibited technological superiority within its industry. The Award recognizes the ability of the company to successfully develop and introduce a new technology, formulate a well-designed product family, and make significant product performance contributions to the industry.
