aWe were looking for a solution that integrated seamlessly into our award winning Cistera Convergence Server that allowed us to easily meet security compliance requirements,a stated Greg Royal, Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Cistera Networks. aSecurity Blanket automates the process of securing the operating system to meet standards which provides significant time savings on each deployment. The Cistera convergence Server is a Quality and Management solution that provides Event Notification Alerting, and Quality and Compliancy recording. A number of our government customers require compliance to the Defense Information Security Agency (DISA) Secure Technical Implementation Guidelines (STIGs). Security Blanket has the STIGs pre-defined within the product, which results in a STIG lockdown being reduced from 30 days to 2 in a typical deployment. Integrating Security Blanket will increase our productivity and ensure the highest level of system security for our clients. We are very pleased to be integrating this technology and look forward to a rewarding relationship with TCS.a
