Voyence Announces Financial IT Compliance Webinar

CUNA Mutual Group Reveals Best Practices for Meeting IT Compliance and Security Mandates with VoyenceControl NG

Richardson, Texas, May 18, 2006 – Voyence, a technology visionary in automating network change and configuration management, today announced its Financial Webinar, detailing key steps to achieving IT network regulatory compliance with SOX, GLB, SAS-70, and PCI initiatives. The complementary Webinar will be held on Tuesday, May 23rd at 7:00 a.m. PT / 10:00 a.m. ET/ 3:00 BST (London).

The Web-based presentation illustrates how financial organizations may clearly demonstrate their network alignment with government IT compliance mandates while following best infrastructure practices such as ITIL. Michael Waisbrot, senior network analyst, Information Technology Services at CUNA Mutual Group, will underscore the importance of ensuring a financial institution’s infrastructure is secure and compliant while imparting his experience with VoyenceControl NG to decrease IT compliance complexity and man-hours — by automating the entire discovery and documentation process.

Additionally, Webinar attendees will learn the “Financial Four of IT Compliance” for meeting SOX, GLB, SAS-70 and PCI mandates:

• Preventing loss of customer data; protecting data integrity.
• Ensuring security and compliance with government regulatory requirements.
• Increasing margins through IT operational efficiency.
• Ensuring business service availability through ITIL best practices.

“Network change and configuration management procedures are at the heart of IT compliance initiatives,” said Darren Orzechowski, vice president of marketing, Voyence. “The compliance process raises the visibility of the network and its importance to financial business services — the network can no longer be viewed as simple ‘plumbing in the wall’. A misconfigured network infrastructure exposes the business, opens potential security breaches, and threatens to undermine even the best planned compliance initiatives.”
