Two security companies, Preventsys Inc. and Intellitactics Inc., announced new technologies at the Information Security Decisions show here that bridge the gap that exists in many enterprises between teams that monitor security issues and operations staffs that are responsible for patching and maintaining systems on enterprise networks.

Preventsys, of Carlsbad, Calif., debuted its IT Operations software module for the Preventsys Enterprise Security Management system, which creates a common communication standard for IT operations and IT security teams, allowing the two groups to prioritize data from different security products on a network, such as vulnerability scanners and configuration management tools, company officials said.
