Citadel Security Software Inc. (Citadel) provides enterprise vulnerability management and policy compliance and enforcement solutions that enable organizations to reduce the risk associated with computer network vulnerabilities. Citadel develops and markets full life cycle vulnerability management software solutions, including its technology included in its Hercules, product, powered by automated vulnerability remediation technology that allows enterprises to neutralize security vulnerabilities across Windows, Linux, Mac and Unix platforms. In June 2005, Citadel released its latest version of the Hercules solution, Hercules 4.0. The Company also offers the SecurePC and NetOFF security management solutions for networks and personal workstations, which are designed to secure and manage personal computers, as well as local area networks. In addition, Citadel provides customer support services, training and professional services. In October 2005, the Company formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Citadel Security Software International LLC, for the purposes of managing its international operations. Hercules The Hercules 4.0 Enterprise Vulnerability Management Suite is a solution for vulnerability management, security compliance and automated remediation and consists of components, which include Compliance Manager for compliance audit and enforcement; Remediation Manager for vulnerability remediation; Patch Manager for comprehensive automated patch management; AssetGuard for asset inventory and security risk assessment; ConnectGuard for endpoint security, and Enterprise Reporting Manager for enterprise-wide reporting. In February 2006, Citadel received a patent on its Hercules automated vulnerability management solution. In addition, Hercules 4.0 is available in two formats, as traditional enterprise software or as software pre-installed on a hardware appliance. Compliance Manager provides network security policy audit and compliance management capability in one integrated solution. Compliance Manager contains automated processes to identify workstations and servers in a network, creates an inventory of the hardware, software and services on the identified devices, and then executes a compliance audit on those devices by comparing device level security settings against the expected security policy for those networked assets. Remediation Manager automates the processes for removing vulnerabilities and enforcing security policy compliance. This software solution manages many aspects of compliance enforcement and automated vulnerability remediation, including execution of compliance audits (in conjunction with Compliance Manager), the remediation of discovered vulnerabilities and the enforcement of information technology (IT) security policies. Hercules automatically acquires and manages patches from third party, independent software vendors (ISVs) and provides remedies to install the patch. Remedies are a series of actions, which may include one or more patches, taking into account patch inter-dependencies, pre-install requirements and conflict resolution. AssetGuard provides the ability to collect detailed workstation and server device information and store that information in the Hercules database. By providing complete inventory data on network connected workstations and servers, AssetGuard enables the administrator to perform detailed queries to identify devices that need vulnerability remediation or configuration policy enforcement. ConnectGuard provides endpoint security by quarantining remote and local machines before allowing them to reconnect to the network, checking for security policy compliance, and applying remedies to out of compliance machines before releasing the quarantine and allowing network access. This network access control solution prevents infected devices from gaining access to the network, ConnectGuard provides the ability to defend against recurring cyber threats, and provides a secure environment as devices disconnect and reconnect to the network.
