Modulo Security Risk Manager, a Risk Assessment, Compliance and Knowledge Management System developed by Modulo Security, the leading information security company in Latin America, received the world-wide “Excellence in Information Security” Award from Microsoft at the Microsoft Worldwide Partners Conference in Boston today, July 12th. The awards are granted annually at this conference that brings together representatives from Micosoft Partner organizations from around the world. The 2006 edition of the event is taking place from July 11 to 13 in Boston, Massachusetts.

Additionally, Modulo Security Risk Manager was given the “Innovation in Software Development” and “Technological Innovation in Information Security” awards for Latin America.

Every year, Microsoft awards companies that have developed innovative solutions. They analyze many case studies in which the solutions have been used and select the best projects from each continent, and then the best worldwide.

“The fact that we have been evaluated in several different categories, and have been acknowledged as the best security solution worldwide, simply reinforces our decision to have made significant investment in the development of Modulo Security Risk Manager”, says Charlie Warhaftig, Director of Modulo Security.

Modulo Security Risk Manager

Modulo Security Risk Manager has been designed and built to automate and assist the entire IT security risk assessment process and to support compliance audits. 

Modulo Security Risk Manager ensures that numerical risk values are calculated for every IT security audit component, at every level, allowing management to allocate appropriate dollar investment for technology assets at greatest risk. The Product dramatically reduces the time and effort of performing IT Security audits by automating the collection and analysis of data from technology assets. In addition, the capturing and managing of evidence for audit purposes from people, processes and physical environments is simplified through the use of on-line questionnaires and interviews with personnel. In the end, the entire IT security audit process is reduced by as much as 80%!!
