Plus: Vintela bolsters management tools for Unix, Linux and OS X systems.

New software from Skybox Security will help companies monitor their networks, comply with federal and state data security regulations, and prepare for new Internet worms, the company says. Skybox View 2.0 is the latest edition of the company’s security risk management software.

The product lets companies continuously monitor systems on their networks to spot risks that might jeopardize compliance with federal regulations, such as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999. Skybox View 2.0 costs $50,000.

Vintela last week released Vintela Management Extension 1.1, which plugs into Microsoft’s System Management Server 2003 and extends the software’s management and administrative features to Unix, Linux and Mac OS X systems.

 The software costs $2,000, which includes one server license and 10 workstation licenses. Each additional non-Windows server managed via SMS is $125. Each non-Windows workstation is $75.
