[Patrick Oonk <patrick () PINE NL>]

AtomicTangerine, an SRI International spin-off, today announced its
first spin-off, SecurityPortal, as part of its mission to create,
claim and own the category of venture consulting. At launch,
SecurityPortal is a fully operational business, with over 30 security
professionals and offerings that will include: security audits and
benchmarks, custom surveys and security alerts, incident response
services, security forums moderated by recognized experts in the field
and a brand-new Internet Security University (ISU). This ISU
will offer a complete set of 100-400-level online courses designed to
prepare security professionals for certification. Agent technology
allows for 24 X 7, 365-day online search and filter Web monitoring.
One of the newest features of SecurityPortal is the ability to conduct
secure online discussions. Blaine McCoy, Chief Information
Officer, Puget Sound Refining Company of Equilon, a joint partnership of
Shell and Texaco, stated that, "SecurityPortal enables
like-minded industry leaders to collaborate on mission-critical Internet
and security issues."
Jonathan Fornaci, president and CEO of AtomicTangerine, says, "We are
pleased to announce the first of an anticipated 3-5
spin-offs a year. SecurityPortal represents the best of our venture
consulting model -- joint commitment of resources, talent,
technology and processes dedicated to incubating innovation in one of
our strongest areas of expertise -- information security."
Jim Maloney, former vice president of Information Security at
AtomicTangerine, heads up the new incubator spin-off as its president
and CEO. Of the new venture, Jim says, "The success of SecurityPortal is
directly tied to the success of the Information Security
practice of AtomicTangerine and vice versa." Karen Worstell, current
AtomicTangerine director of Information Security, takes over as
vice president of Information Security at AtomicTangerine. Of the new
company, Karen adds, "We're extending our traditional
consulting practice to delivery of services online. SecurityPortal
allows us to give our customers relevant, current information, easy
access and the security of a site commensurate with the sensitivity of
the information we expect to be exchanged there."
