Expanding its security research capabilities, BindView Corp.

capabilities for its highly regarded RAZOR team. As organizations
bridge the gap between IT security and compliance requirements,
RAZOR is augmenting its core security capabilities with new IT
security compliance experts. In addition to providing protective
updates for the latest threats and vulnerabilities, RAZOR now adds
IT security compliance research and expertise to its core
offerings. According to recent surveys by Gartner(1) and the

clutter and confusion of security and compliance issues with a
balanced approach to protecting organizations while defining,
controlling and sustaining compliance requirements." New RAZOR
