Brief: Proactive network security

Securify Inc. of Mountain View, Calif., has released version 4.0 of its SecurVantage network security software. SecurVantage works with Securify's monitoring devices to send real-time data to a centralized command and control center to identify vulnerabilities. The new version is more scalable than previous versions and adds an engine that scans a network's endpoints rather than only scanning data traffic.

Securify signed a $5.8 million contract with Plano, Texas-based Electronic Data Systems Corp. to supply its solution to the Navy.
