NASHUA, NH, Sep 02, 2008 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) -- Kadient, a leading provider of on-demand sales knowledge applications, announced today that it has successfully completed a comprehensive vulnerability assessment with Foundstone Professional Services.

Foundstone Professional Services ( http://www.foundstone.com/us/index.asp), a division of McAfee, is an industry-leading network security consulting and assessment provider, with a client roster that includes Fortune 500 companies as well as several government agencies.

Security is an increasingly important concern for all corporations, and particularly for SaaS customers as the model requires companies to relinquish control over data no longer hosted on the company's own internal servers. Kadient ( www.Kadient.com) is committed to providing ongoing security for its customers, and can easily meet the needs of customers required to comply with internal and external regulatory requirements.

"In the current corporate environment, many companies must comply with numerous government and private sector regulations, and Foundstone Professional Services provides the reputation and professional skill set Kadient customers demand," says Kadient CEO Brian Zanghi. "Kadient provides its customers with peace of mind knowing that we have taken proactive steps to provide an industry-leading level of security. In addition, Kadient plans on conducting yearly full vulnerability audits with Foundstone Professional Services' security services, and continually re-evaluates security after changes are made to the product environment."

"In most cases, customers must perform due-diligence for data-driven SaaS services. Kadient's approach to satisfying this requirement is to have our security practices and procedures, as well as software, verified by third-party vulnerability assessments. With Foundstone Professional Services, Kadient customers can fulfill any internal and regulatory due diligence assessment," said Mike Po, Executive Vice President, Operations, Kadient.
