OSE Approaches a Working Convergence Model for Security

Piscataway, NJ – 20 February 2007 –On February 21-22 the Open Security Exchange (OSE) will finalize the initial release of the innovative Convergence RoadmapSM. Uniquely crafted, this tool allows companies a highly efficient approach to the rapidly expanding trend toward convergent security systems. End users, manufacturers, and integrators together designed this important industry tool and will further discuss its benefits at the first 2007 meeting in New York. All interested parties are welcomed and encouraged to attend.

“Many organizations today are seeking a model to adopt security convergence,” said David Ting, OSE member and Founder of Imprivata. “The Roadmap defines a coherent approach by placing the technological and organizational aspects of enterprise security in context with each other.”

On February 28th at TechSec Solutions and again at ISC West at the end of March, OSE members will present the Convergence RoadmapSM concept.
