Industry Nod Marks Fifth Consecutive Finalist Ranking for Best Security Information/Event Management Solution

POST FALLS, Idaho (Dec. 11, 2009) -- TriGeo Network Security, the leading provider of security information and event management (SIEM) technology for midmarket enterprises, was just named a finalist for the Best Security Information/Event Management (SIM/SEM) Solution in the prestigious 2010 SC Awards. This marks the fifth consecutive year that TriGeo has received finalist honors in the Best Security Information/Event Management category and the company's seventh industry recognition in 2009.

"TriGeo Network Security is among today's most respected security organizations," said SC Magazine editor-in-chief Illena Armstrong. "Security is a key challenge for businesses of all sizes and our readers recognize that companies like TriGeo are constantly developing new ways to safeguard networks and streamline compliance beyond the core capabilities of traditional technology."

TriGeo SIM goes far beyond simple log management, providing real-time log analysis to identify network attacks and policy violations as they happen and initiate proactive responses such as quarantining, blocking, and USB device defense. The solution supports hundreds of network devices, comes stocked with more than 650 security and network monitoring rules, and nearly 300 pre-built reports for compliance and network analysis. TriGeo SIM is delivered as a fully configured appliance and is available at a price starting below $20,000. TriGeo has hundreds of customers across financial services, retail, healthcare, education, government, utility and media/entertainment.

"In the evolving threat landscape, a breach notification ten minutes after-the-fact, is ten minutes too late – especially in the midmarket where seconds count," said Michelle Dickman, president and CEO of TriGeo Network Security. "Mid-tier organizations need solutions that act – not watch – to help them prevent unauthorized access to critical data and safeguard their organization from internal and external threats."

TriGeo was selected from more than 600 entries submitted in more than 31 technology categories. All finalists will be reviewed and winners will be chosen by the Reader Trust Voting Panel – comprised of security and technology experts from large, medium and small enterprises in all major vertical markets.
