TriGeo Network Security Signs 35 New Credit Unions

Evolving NCUA Regulations Drive Increased Demand for TriGeo's Proactive Network Security Solution

POST FALLS, Idaho (Feb. 9, 2010) -- TriGeo Network Security, the leading provider of security information and event management (SIEM) solutions for midmarket enterprises, today announced that 35 new credit unions selected TriGeo's Security Information Management (SIM) solution – joining TriGeo's rapidly expanding credit union community.

Evolving NCUA regulations continue to drive credit unions to adopt SIEM technology and TriGeo is the only vendor that turns log management into proactive network defense. Using patented, in-memory, technology, TriGeo automates log analysis and incident detection and provides active responses for real-time policy enforcement.

Hundreds of credit unions rely on TriGeo SIM to help them achieve NCUA compliance and secure their business from internal and external threats. The solution comes stocked with 'credit union-focused' templates that streamline the deployment, configuration and compliance reporting.

NCUA Compliance: Forensics is not enough

NCUA Rules and Regulations require credit unions to monitor network activity for internal and external threats that could result in unauthorized disclosure, misuse, alteration or destruction of member information or member information systems. The goal is to improve security through real-time detection and prevention, and this is one key reason credit unions select TriGeo over traditional forensic solutions.

TriGeo SIM helps credit unions achieve NCUA compliance by:

• Delivering real-time insight into all network activity by collecting and analyzing log data for suspicious behavior and/or policy violations.
• Actively responding to network threats by proactively blocking, quarantining or stopping unauthorized processes and preventing a costly security breach.

"NCUA compliance comes as a result of solid information security practices," said Alan McHugh, Manager of Information Technology at the U.S. Postal Service Federal Credit Union. "With TriGeo, we're taking a proactive approach to securing our network that ensures that we meet the necessary requirements and take the necessary measures to protect our business from cyber threats."

"Many credit unions have limited IT resources, and like most mid-market companies, they have to do more with less," said Michelle Dickman, president and CEO of TriGeo Network Security. "We designed our technology to fit the needs of these businesses by making it easy to use, quick to deploy, and the only SIEM with active response capabilities."

Delivered as a fully configured appliance, TriGeo SIM supports hundreds of network devices, and comes stocked with more than 650 security and network monitoring rules and more than 300 pre-built reports for compliance and network analysis. The solution 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. All of this is available at a price starting below $20,000 for North American based deployments. The company has hundreds of customers across financial services, retail, healthcare, education, government, utility and media/entertainment.
