KSR Integrates QualysGuard Into Its ROI-Driven Managed Risk Services

San Mateo, CA - February 6, 2007 - KSR, Inc., the industry’s first Managed Risk Services Provider (MRSP), today announced integration of Qualys’ security risk and compliance management platform, QualysGuard 5.0, into KSR’s broad suite of information risk services. KSR customers enjoy access to leading experts on information security and enterprise risk. Combining KSR’s experts with QualysGuard results allows clients to enjoy ROI-driven, actionable risk mitigation.

“Customers are shifting focus to a holistic risk management approach, away from a reactive security stance,” said Mark Iwanowski, KSR’s Chief Executive Officer. “QualysGuard is a natural fit for KSR’s Risk Aware™ risk management services. Leveraging their best-of-breed solution, we can provide customers with deeper insight into threats and weaknesses to protect their mission critical services and assets.”

KSR’s Risk Aware™ framework is the basis for a long term mitigation plan based upon an organization’s ability to measure, remediate and ultimately manage information and organizational risk. The combination with QualysGuard 5.0 allows customers to manage the array of risks to the entire enterprise, and to weigh those against acceptable levels of risk, budget, and return-on-investment (ROI).

“Proactive security risk management and compliance are essential to today’s enterprises,” said Philippe Courtot, chairman and CEO of Qualys, Inc. “We are happy that KSR has selected to integrate Qualys’ On Demand platform with their Managed Risk Services offering to assess the security and compliance posture of their customers.”

The new KSR Managed Vulnerability Service is bundled with expert consultation review, powered by access to KSR’s world-class experts and one of the most extensive and respected testing facilities in the industry, Neohapsis Labs.
