"As NetworkWorld says about NetClarity, their solution definitely picks up where firewalls, antivirus and intrusion detection systems leave off (see: http://tinyurl.com/f4e6a). Or, read the article by NetClarity's Founder & CTO in SearchCIO (found here: http://tinyurl.com/krzhk ) and you'll understand the biggest issue we intend to address, here in Africa. "All of our government, banking and critical infrastructure systems need to be audited and hardened against attacks," said Doros Hadjizenonos, Managing Director of VAD Africa. "The easiest, lowest cost way to do it is with the NetClarity Auditor solution, which complements other security products like the Check Point firewalls we've already been selling throughout our region." "VAD Africa has been selling IT security solutions for years, including one of our favorite firewalls which we are fully integrated with through OPSEC, the Check Point series. We know that 95% of downtime is a direct result of an exploit against a commonly known vulnerability (CVE). Now, with Auditor, they can help their customers to plug them at a price they can afford. We're really pleased VAD Africa has selected NetClarity," said Gil Roeder, Chairman & CEO of NetClarity.
