High Tower Software and eCompliantz, LLC Announce Technology Agreement

Market Wire, February, 2008

Network security systems developer High Tower Software today announced that it has entered into a technology agreement with eCompliantz, LLC, an Atlanta, Georgia-based provider of government and industry regulatory compliance monitoring software.

Under the terms of the agreement, eCompliantz will provide ongoing updates for a multitude of national and international data security regulations included as part of High Tower's Cinxi Security Information Event Management (SIEM) products.

High Tower's Cinxi systems automate the process of monitoring live data from network security devices, computers and software applications. The systems centralize data collection, analyze, correlate and store the information, providing organizations with better incident response and compliance with regulatory mandates.

"There are over 20,000 compliance regulations affecting organizations worldwide," said Sage Osterfeld, High Tower's vice president of product management. Partnering with an expert in the field like eCompliantz ensures that our product is always providing the latest, most up-to-date information to our customers."

High Tower customers include Global 2000 companies, national and international government agencies and leading universities that must comply with an alphabet soup of mandates that cover everything from who may access certain computers, to how personal data and financial information is stored on networks. The company's Cinxi products provide continuous monitoring of security-related data and allow organizations to use that information as a basis for hundreds of reports relating to specific compliance regulations such as Payment Card Industry, Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPPA, International Standards Organization, and many others.

"We're pleased to be partnering with High Tower in this effort," said eCompliantz director of marketing Michael Wingate. The combination of our deep expertise and High Tower's Cinxi SIEM systems will go a long way toward eliminating the burden of keeping up with shifting standards and ensuring regulatory compliance for thousands worldwide."

eCompliantz monitors and provides clients with updates on thousands of compliance regulations affecting entities in North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. eCompliantz' updates will be incorporated into Cinxi's Reporting feature and automatically pushed as available to Cinxi customers via High Tower's electronic update service.

eCompliantz updates are slated to begin delivery to High Tower customers in April 2008.
