Department Of Homeland Security Selects Solidcore To Present At System Integrator Forum

Recognizes Change Control Software as 'Cutting-Edge' Innovation with Potential for Improving the Nation's Cyber-Infrastructure

PALO ALTO, Calif., Jan. 16, 2007 — Solidcore® Systems, Inc., a leading provider of change control software, today announced that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Technology Directorate selected Solidcore to showcase its market-leading change control software at the System Integrator Forum in Arlington, Virginia. Solidcore will present its change control technology on Wednesday, January 17, 2007 at the Sheraton Crystal City Hotel in Arlington, Virginia.

The DHS Science and Technology (S&T) Directorate will showcase several new cyber security solutions to an audience of system integrators and government sponsors. The technology solutions represent cutting-edge innovations with the potential to improve the security of the nation's cyber-infrastructure, while also reducing the costs required to protect cyber assets from attacks. The goal of the System Integrator Forum is to introduce high-quality, top-performing companies to large integrators of technology who serve the federal government and private industry. A secondary goal is to foster business relationships that may lead to the commercialization of the presenting companies' research.

The six presenting companies have developed solutions with the assistance of DHS funding, including Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) and Broad Agency Announcements (BAA) awards. Each of the presenting technology developers have been selected for participation in the SIF based upon the maturity of their technology solution, relevance to government needs, the commercial viability of their approach, and the strength of their business leadership.

"Unauthorized and incorrectly applied server changes can prove detrimental to the availability and security of critical infrastructure systems," said Rosen Sharma, president and CEO of Solidcore. "We are pleased to have been selected to showcase our change control solution by the Department of Homeland Security, which further validates the growing importance of change control technology for obtaining real-time visibility and control over infrastructure changes."

The Solidcore S3 Control™ software is easily configurable to increase the availability and security of IT services, enable the successful implementation of Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL) projects, and reduce the cost of compliance initiatives. Solidcore's change control software is industry's first solution to provide technology-based change policy enforcement to automatically ensure changes made to the infrastructure are in-line with an administrator's change policy. Solidcore also provides real-time visibility into what changes are being made and reconciliation of actual changes with existing change management systems.

Attendance at the SIF is expected to be strong with senior representatives present from a number of top tier system integrators like BAE Systems, Booz Allen, EDS, General Dynamics, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon, SAIC, among others. A number of government agencies will also be represented including the Department of State, Department of Energy, and the FBI.
