Paper Provides Insight into Security Innovation’s Benchmark Methodology for
Conducting Role Comparison Research Projects

BOSTON—March 22, 2005—Security Innovation, the independent industry leader in application security testing, research and training, today announced the public availability of the “Windows vs. Linux OS Security Research Study Methodology” whitepaper, which will give other independent organizations an inside look at the company’s new benchmark methodology for performing role comparison research. In a related announcement, Security Innovation unveiled the results of the company’s Microsoft/Linux Security Comparison Study.

The goal of the whitepaper is to allow organizations to repeat the role comparison research and to have the methodology serve as an industry benchmark for future research projects. Interested parties can download the Methodology whitepaper at http://www.sisecure.com/resources/linux_windows.shtml

“One of our goals of the Server Role Comparison study was to develop a methodology that was repeatable and objective so that it can be used by Security Innovation and others in future role comparison projects,” said Dr. Herbert Thompson, lead investigator for the study and director of security technology and research for Security Innovation. “We anticipate that the paper and accompanying study results will generate even more discussion related to the security of Windows and Linux-based server deployments, while providing a roadmap for future research in other technology areas.”
