Tripwire Enhances Leading Configuration Control and File Integrity Monitoring Solution
Tripwire 7.7 features ChangeIQ, delivering unparalleled change intelligence and automation for improved security and compliance
Portland, OR – February 16, 2010 – Tripwire, Inc., the leading global provider of IT security and compliance automation solutions, today introduced the latest version of its flagship product, Tripwire® Enterprise. Tripwire Enterprise 7.7 makes it easier to assess, prioritize and reconcile changes detected in critical IT systems with its new set of ChangeIQTM capabilities, and also provides one-step integration with Tripwire Log Center for increased threat protection. Tripwire Enterprise 7.7 is the only solution where users benefit from a combined compliance policy and file integrity management solution with critical log and event data offering unprecedented visibility into their entire IT infrastructure.
In order to protect sensitive data and maintain compliance in today’s challenging security environment, it’s essential that companies have complete control over any changes to their critical IT infrastructure. This level of control requires real-time alerts when a system moves out of a compliant state so IT teams can appropriately respond depending on the level of true risk to the enterprise. To do this they often need to determine instantly which changes are critical, like the unexpected enabling of an FTP port, and which don’t present a security risk, such as a user modifying a password from one acceptable format to a different, but still acceptable format.
The ChangeIQ capabilities in Tripwire Enterprise 7.7 transform the way companies look at change. With ChangeIQ, companies will now understand which changes matter and which changes do not by providing enhanced automation and built-in intelligence, with features like automated approval templates, customization of change severities, and change type filters that automate the handling of non-critical changes and appropriately elevate higher-risk changes.
By integrating file integrity monitoring and compliance policy management with log and event management, Tripwire Enterprise 7.7 and Tripwire Log Center provide an entirely new, more effective means for incident investigation by adding new levels of visibility to detected changes. Tripwire recognizes the critical role that understanding these changes in the IT environment plays in ensuring data integrity and security. The ability to identify the events that lead to or result from change, determine how it happened and whether it constitutes a threat and then remediate accordingly is the key to enabling continuous compliance, operational control and protecting critical data. With this out-of-the-box integration, Tripwire Enterprise and Tripwire Log Center become Tripwire VIA – a comprehensive IT security and compliance automation suite that heightens visibility, intelligence and automation for IT security and compliance. The combination of these solutions creates an unmatched security and compliance automation suite that answers questions, provides intelligence, and makes threats visible so they can be rapidly resolved.

Barracuda Networks Introduces the Barracuda NG Firewall
Enterprise Firewall Platform Integrates Next Generation Firewall Protection, Industry-leading Centralized Management Capabilities and Optimization of Network Traffic Across WAN Link
Campbell, Calif., Feb. 2, 2010 – Barracuda Networks Inc. launched the Barracuda NG Firewall, a line of virtual and hardware appliances designed to protect enterprise network infrastructure, improve site-to-site connectivity and simplify administration of network operations. This product launch is the first since Barracuda Networks’ successful acquisition of phion AG, a leading firewall provider based in Austria in September 2009.
“The Barracuda NG Firewall platform was built from the ground up as a project to manage more than 650 firewalls for a large Austrian banking data center,” said Stephen Pao, vice president of product management for Barracuda Networks. “With early development roots not only in centralized configuration, policy and reporting, but also in site-to-site WAN traffic management capabilities, the Barracuda NG Firewall is designed to optimize both the availability and performance of the WAN, with lower administrative overhead than incumbent solutions.”
The Barracuda NG Firewall intelligently combines Web and email filtering, intrusion prevention, Layer 7 application profiling, and network access control into a platform that can be centrally managed, across all enterprise network locations, including remote, home and branch offices, as well as regional headquarters and datacenters.
Centralized security management and content policy provides a number of benefits including:
- Consistent security posture and policy enforcement across the enterprise
- Real-time accounting and reporting across multiple gateways
- Comprehensive history and rollback of configuration and policy changes across the network
IDC research has shown that a majority of enterprises feel it is important to consolidate existing point products such as firewall, intrusion prevention and anti-malware into a single solution.*
“Barracuda Networks comprehensive product portfolio satisfies the Web and messaging security needs of numerous enterprise and SMB customers, worldwide,” said Charles Kolodgy, IDC research director, Security Products. “To improve management, reduce costs, and consolidate security, customers have been turning to comprehensive products that integrate numerous security features into an integrated platform. Barracuda Networks is meeting this demand with the Barracuda NG Firewall, which implements phion’s proven and advanced technology. This network security product will open up new opportunities for their worldwide channel and help Barracuda Networks to penetrate and win more enterprise business.”

Allot Communications Reports 21% Increase in Revenues to $11.5 Million for the Fourth Quarter of 2009
Key highlights:
- Fourth quarter revenues reached $11.5 million, a 21% increase over the fourth quarter of 2008
- Fourth quarter non-GAAP net income of $19,000, as Company achieves break-even results
- Cash, cash equivalents, deposits and investments in marketable securities increased to $53.3 million
- Allot receives $17 million in orders from a global Tier 1 mobile operator during the year
February 9, 2010 – Allot Communications Ltd. (NASDAQ: ALLT) a leader in IP service optimization and revenue generation solutions, today announced achieving break-even results on a non-GAAP basis for the fourth quarter of 2009 as it reported its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2009.
Total revenues for the fourth quarter of 2009 reached $11.5 million, a 21% increase from the $9.6 million of revenues reported in the fourth quarter of 2008, and a 6% increase from the $10.8 million revenues reported for the third quarter of 2009. On a GAAP basis, net loss for the fourth quarter of 2009 was $1.5 million, or $0.07 per share (basic and diluted). This compares with net income of $1.0 million, or $0.05 per share (basic and diluted), in the fourth quarter of 2008, and a net loss of $2.3 million, or $0.10 per share (basic and diluted), in the third quarter of 2009. For the full year 2009, revenues reached $41.8 million, representing a 13% increase over the $37.1 million of revenues in 2008. On a GAAP basis, net loss in 2009 totaled $7.7 million, or $0.35 per share (basic and diluted), compared with a net loss of $16.5 million, or $0.75 per share (basic and diluted), in 2008.
On a non-GAAP basis, excluding the impact of share-based compensation, inventory and fixed assets write-offs and ARS devaluation and recoveries, non-GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of 2009 totaled $19,000, or $0.00 per share (basic and diluted), compared with a non-GAAP net loss of $1.1 million, or $0.05 per share (basic and diluted), for the fourth quarter of 2008 and a non-GAAP loss of $185,000, or $0.01 per share (basic and diluted), for the third quarter of 2009. Inventory and fixed assets write-offs for the fourth quarter of 2009 totaled $0.9 million following the rollout of certain new products. These non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, comparable GAAP measures. A full reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP results is provided in the accompanying Table 2. The Company provides these non-GAAP financial measures because it believes that they present a better measure of the Company’s core business and management uses the non-GAAP measures internally to evaluate the Company’s ongoing performance. Accordingly, the Company believes that they are useful to investors in enhancing an understanding of the Company’s operating performance.
“During 2009 Allot succeeded in continuing to grow revenues while making significant progress in moving towards our goal of profitability,” commented Rami Hadar, Allot Communications’ President and Chief Executive Officer. “We successfully undertook the largest deployment in our history with a global Tier 1 mobile operator, with total orders as at the end of the year reaching $17 million. Coupled with the strong backlog we built up during the year, we currently believe that Allot is well positioned for continued growth in 2010.”
Recently, the Company achieved the following significant goals:
- During the quarter, concluded 9 large deals with service providers, of which 3 represented new customers and 6 represented expansion deals;
- Allot introduced two new platforms during the quarter, the AC-1400 and AC-3000, which address the needs of the Tier 2/3 and large enterprise markets; and
- Service Gateway Sigma now supports 75 Gbps and may be clustered for up to 360 Gbps as verified by the independent Tolly Group.
As of December 31, 2009, cash, cash equivalents, deposits and investments in marketable securities totaled $53.3 million. Recent external valuations showed an increase in value of certain ARS in the Company’s portfolio as of the end of the fourth quarter. As a result, the Company recorded an unrealized net gain of $0.7 million to other comprehensive income in its shareholders’ equity, leaving the Company with a total of $14.5 million in ARS at the end of the quarter. To date, all ARS are current on their respective interest payments.
