Intelliorg Product Among Top 5 Tools for Homeland Security

Washington, DC (09-Jun-2005) Federal Computer Week (FCW), the renowned Washington, DC technology publication, featured the Intelliorg Automated HLS-CAM System as one of the top five technology tools currently playing a role in government homeland security efforts.

In the June 6, 2005 article entitled What are your weaknesses? Automated assessment tools help agencies steer limited resources to biggest vulnerabilities, the magazine stated that "a small cadre of technology vendors is now on the government radar, and some are landing deals with agencies and integrators alike."

Quoting Hank Chase, director of homeland security programs at ITS Corporation, a major IT government vendor, FCW stated that "There are about 100 tools out there. Out of those, about 10 are viable and about five have proved satisfactory to government customers."

Intelliorg's Automated HLS-CAM was mentioned as one of the top systems featured in the article, which stated that "All of Florida's law enforcement and emergency response workers now have access to a new software program that walks them through a common set of questions about assets and security measures already in place. Responses are then churned into a set of potential weaknesses and suggested action items to mitigate identified risks. The program is called the [Automated HLS-CAM], a software system developed by Intelliorg."

Yasmin Tirado-Chiodini, president and CEO of Intelliorg, was also featured in the article describing the strengths of the Automated HLS-CAM System. "Our tool establishes a virtual group of law enforcement representatives or emergency management personnel who get together and look at threats that exist in a community."

"By running these workers through a series of questions, the system is able to extract intelligence," Tirado-Chiodini said.

With these solutions, officials are also able to look more systematically at the community's most critical assets. "Users are able to prioritize assets and vulnerabilities and decide where they want to dig deeper," she said.
