Vericept is the leading provider of information security and misuse prevention solutions. Founded in 1999, Vericept provides a range of software solutions enabling organizations to give early warning to network abuse. Vericept performs linguistic and mathematical analysis of network traffic and flags materials predefined by the individual company as inappropriate such as sending of confidential customer data outside the network to unauthorized viewers, downloading pornographic material, searching for and downloading hacker tools, job hunting and online gambling. Vericept saves a copy of ONLY the inappropriate traffic for review, at which time appropriate action can be taken by management. Although Vericept does identify people whose network activities are inappropriate, it is not intended to entrap. Rather, it is designed to act as a deterrent. Vericept is based on the premise that unlimited and unmonitored Internet access for all employees is simply not good business. Uncontrolled, unsupervised access invites misuse and practically guarantees problems such as productivity losses, litigation, bandwidth drains, illegal activity, personal grievances and overall increase in company costs. Avoidance of these serious problems is a strong force that will make the value of Vericept products and solutions clear. Vericept believes that Internet abuse is not a technological problem; it is a technologically-enabled human problem. Therefore, it requires informed, human intervention. Vericept's patent-pending technology was developed by renowned network security expert Thomas Donahue, founding VP of Technical Operations at Colorado SuperNet, Inc., and former VP of Internet Protocol Services at Qwest Communications. Vericept is based in Englewood, Colorado. |
