I received the following in an email from Foundstone:

Foundstone would like to extend a special, limited-time offer to you
Given America’s mounting security awareness, and consistent with the National Strategy to secure cyberspace, Foundstone is offering a 30-day trial of the Foundstone Managed Security Service. At no cost to you, the Foundstone Managed Security Service can create an immediate, detailed view of your Internet-based assets that could be at risk. Accurate assessments of your network’s exposure to cyber-attacks will be essential to the American economy-and is why we’re making this offer right now.
Because the U.S. possesses the world's strongest military and the largest national economy, the two are mutually reinforcing and dependent, and are reliant upon certain critical infrastructures - physical and cyber-based systems essential to the minimum operations of the U.S. economy and governmental agencies. By offering a free managed service to the country’s interdependent and indispensable critical infrastructure organizations, Foundstone can help strengthen the growing spirit of government-business partnership for global economic stability.
Designed and staffed by Foundstone experts - representing one of the world’s largest talent pools of network security experts from the top-level security agencies such as the United States Air Force Information Warfare Center - the Foundstone Managed Security Service performs automated vulnerability assessments and identifies network security weaknesses within critical management services, web applications, and databases, with 99% accuracy .
You can take advantage of this service immediately by contacting Foundstone at 1.877.91.FOUND or email us at
[email protected]. And remember, this does not require installing software or dedicating any hardware and is a non-disruptive solution with minimal or no impact on staff productivity. You must take advantage of the offer by April 30, 2003.
I don't know if you have to make any long-term commitment to get the free 30 days, but small and medium companies may want to take them up on their offer- even if only for the free month to find the existing vulnerabilities and try to mitigate or remediate them.
I like Foundstone in general, but I don't know anything specific about this service nor have I seen it in action so I can't speak to how good it is.
