Info Security Products Guide Names Tizor's Mantra Winner of the 2007 Global Product Excellence in Auditing Award

Tizor Systems, the leading provider of enterprise data auditing and protection solutions for the data center, today announced that Info Security Products Guide, a Silicon Valley Communications publication and the world's leading publication on security-related products and technologies, has named Mantra V5 the winner of the 2007 Global Product Excellence in Auditing Customer Trust Award. This customer trust honor is an endorsement of Mantra as the leading enterprise data auditing and protection solution for data security and compliance.

More than 18,000 end-users and prospective customers were invited to vote for the products that they trust the most when it comes to protecting their digital assets. Tizor Mantra was chosen because it reduces business risk and lowers IT costs by enabling the highest level of compliance assurance, data protection and data privacy available today.

"This recognition by Tizor customers and the market further validates Mantra as the leading enterprise data auditing and protection solution," said Joel Rosen, president and CEO of Tizor. "Customer trust is of the utmost importance to every member of the Tizor team and we appreciate the confidence that they have in our company and our Mantra solution."

A new class of network-based, enterprise data auditing and protection solution, Mantra provides real-time monitoring, reporting, theft detection and alerting on all critical data assets in the enterprise. A passive, non-inline appliance that is transparent to existing data infrastructure, Mantra plugs into to the network with no performance impact on the network, applications, systems or processes.

Mantra Highlights:

-- Scalability - Scales to meet the needs of the largest global enterprise, without affecting the performance of data servers or associated applications.

-- Performance - Analyzes vast volumes of application and data activity in real-time and in accordance with business goals, security needs and compliance with regulations such as Sarbanes Oxley and PCI (Payment Card Industry Standard).

"Security products have continued to evolve rapidly in the past few years and advanced technologies are now making it possible to take a pro-active approach to most security scenarios," said Rake Narang, Managing Editor of Info Security Products Guide. "End-users or consumers of these products have to deal with real-live threats which may differ vastly from lab simulated environments. These users build a strong 'Customer Trust' for products that best meet their requirements and therefore also play a key role in the security evolution cycle."
