Edison, NJ – April 24, 2007 – netForensics, Inc., a pioneer and global leader in Security Information Management (SIM), today announced the launch of nFX Data OneTM, a comprehensive security data monitoring solution for Web and database applications vulnerable to insider threat and application-layer attacks. nFX Data One together with nFX Open Security Platform (OSP) provides organizations the ability to identify and remediate threats from the perimeter to the core of the organization, while providing the data and audit trails required for policy enforcement, regulatory compliance, and forensic support.

nFX Data One provides continuous, real-time logging of all SQL and HTTP activity by intelligently analyzing the underlying Web and database application protocols.

This allows our security personnel to document the threat information, outline containment steps and provide critical patch information to our operations team.”

This comprehensive approach to security management provides organizations with the immediate and actionable security intelligence needed for effective threat management, policy enforcement and regulatory compliance while delivering a clear and concise view of the organizations’ security posture.
