Most companies lack a well-developed response program as well as the expertise to respond to critical incidents, according to security experts. To help companies avert and quickly recover from security breaches, Axent Technologies yesterday launched its Incident Response and Recovery Service for Fortune 1000 companies that have installed intrusion detection systems. Axent is a maker of intrusion detection and risk assessment tools. Axent's independent subsidiary Secure Network Consulting will provide six to eight weeks of comprehensive training, according to Drew Williams, director of Axent's SWAT team. During the four-phase training, SNC experts will help identify the employees, partners, customers, information and business processes most at risk; design procedures to shorten response time; implement best practices; and train IT staff and executives in how to deal with breaches by using real-life examples from similar businesses. -- Rutrell Yasin ISN is sponsored by Security-Focus.COM
