WALTHAM, Mass.(PRWEB) July 13, 2005 -- BrassRing, a leading provider of
global talent management solutions, today announced that its award-winning
talent management platform BrassRing Enterprise 7.5 has achieved TruSecure(R)
Application Certification by Cybertrust.
This certification complements
BrassRing's existing TruSecure Perimeter Certification by Cybertrust. As the
first talent management company to receive this certification for its software,
BrassRing has the global lead in keeping electronic talent records secure.
Cybertrust is a global leader in information security consulting,
managed services and enabling technologies.
Cybertrust's TruSecure
Application Certification is a rigorous application security program that
measures the security posture of a software application. Certified applications
are hosted in a Cybertrust enterprise- or perimeter-certified environment and
meet Cybertrust's Essential Practices for Applications, which represent the
security measures necessary to mitigate application risk. Once the software
application meets Cybertrust's Essential Practices, Cybertrust awards TruSecure
Application Certification. The maintenance of certification is contingent upon
continued security testing and adherence with Cybertrust Essential Practices.
BrassRing has taken widely recognized and accepted measures to secure
its environment across six categories of risk including: electronic threats and
vulnerabilities, malicious code, privacy, human factors, physical environment
and downtime. The "TruSecure Certified by Cybertrust" seal validates BrassRing's
security processes and technologies, and ensures that they are diligently
applied to maintain a proactive, comprehensive and continuous information
security risk management program for its growing customer base.
In
achieving certification, BrassRing's Enterprise platform underwent Cybertrust's
unique four-phased methodology that integrates all the components of a
comprehensive, on-going risk reduction program: identify, assess, secure and
assure. As part of the application and perimeter certification processes,
BrassRing is subject to a comprehensive set of defined security controls,
procedures and policy examinations, measured and validated by Cybertrust.
Regular reviews, assessments and inspections ensure that BrassRing keeps
recommended controls and safeguards current to address changes in the threat
landscape.
"With both application and perimeter certification to its
credit, BrassRing has demonstrated a commitment to security and risk management
that achieves a level of risk reduction. This ensures its customers can
confidently conduct business and avoid threats that may jeopardize valuable
candidate information," said Peter Tippett, Cybertrust Chief Technology Officer.
BrassRing has taken its commitment to customer security one step further
with the launch of BrassRing Security Consulting, a single-day evaluation to
ensure client's Enterprise solutions are optimized to benefit from the
application's certified configuration standards for securing and protecting
candidate information. BrassRing's technology experts evaluate configuration
settings to determine if customers are meeting best-practice security and
privacy measures and if deficiencies are found, can provide a security needs
assessment and recommendations to help customers secure candidate information
and meet privacy policy standards and regulations.
"With new threats
evolving each day, it's never been more critical for the talent management
industry to ensure it is taking every possible step to protect valuable
candidate information," said Deb Besemer, president and CEO of BrassRing. "To be
TruSecure Certified by Cybertrust for both our Enterprise application and
perimeter, coupled with the expertise of the BrassRing Security Consulting team,
validates our ongoing commitment to meeting our customer's demands for secure,
comprehensive solutions that support them through all stages of the talent
lifecycle."
