Rivermark Community Credit Union Chooses Code Green Networks To Boost Confidence And Protect Data Of 43,000 Members

WebMail Filtering and Integrated Email Encryption Top List of Data Loss Prevention Requirements

SANTA CLARA, CA, February 12, 2008 – Code Green Networks, a leading provider of data loss prevention (DLP) solutions for protecting customer data and safeguarding intellectual property, today announced that Rivermark Community Credit Union, with 6 branches in the greater Portland Oregon Metropolitan Area, has joined the growing list of credit unions and financial services organizations deploying the CI-750 Content Inspection Appliance. Rivermark will use the CI-750 to secure over $375M in assets and protect the data of more than 43,000 members.

Rivermark made the strategic decision to deploy the CI-750 to better integrate and expand its arsenal of security technologies for monitoring popular internet communication channels such as consumer Webmail services, and will use the appliance to provide seamless, automated e-mail encryption. Ease of implementation and integrated encryption were key drivers behind the credit union’s purchase. The CI-750’s appliance form factor enabled Rivermark to have the product up and running in less than a day; including the creation of policies to monitor for specific security infractions and data privacy violations. Together, these features give Rivermark greater and much-needed visibility into member communications, and the tools to proactively manage policy infractions while still being able to support business communication needs.

Credit unions such as Rivermark are implementing Code Green Networks’ DLP solutions as part of their best practices strategy to proactively ensure a safe banking experience for members, while preparing to meet imminent regulatory compliance requirements. For financial services organizations such as Rivermark, the CI-750 breaks the price/performance barrier – delivering enterprise-class data protection to organizations with up to 250 network users for one-third the cost of other DLP products.

“As a member-owned credit union, every time we make a technology purchase we ask ourselves what value this will bring to our members. In the case of protecting sensitive member data, it was very easy to see the upside of deploying the Code Green CI-750,” said Bobbi Brown, VP of Information Technology. “With the CI-750 we’re getting a full-featured DLP product for the price that we’d spend on encryption alone. The interface to activate features like encryption is a breeze - it’s as simple as checking off a box in the policy settings. Plus, we now include a ‘secure email by Rivermark’ logo on all encrypted outbound communications to let our members know how important security of their information is to Rivermark. We are confident the CI-750 has given us an opportunity to visibly provide better service to our members.”

“Rivermark’s 55-year history is a testament to their leadership, and the trust they’ve established with members over the years,” said Sreekanth Ravi, Founder and CEO of Code Green Networks. “By deploying the CI-750, they’ve gone above and beyond the level of security most credit unions provide, extending their history of establishing and building trust with members. Rivermark is part of an elite group of forward-thinking companies turning to DLP technology – not only to demonstrate compliance, but to ultimately protect and extend the confidence their members have in them.”

The CI-750 resides at an organization’s Internet gateway, monitoring content flows on the corporate network and automatically enforcing data protection policies to log, alert, retain, block, encrypt or re-route transmissions across all popular Internet communications channels. Integrated on-board encryption capabilities and intuitive policy wizards further simplify deployment while advanced WebMail filtering surpasses the capabilities of traditional DLP products.

Starting at $10,000, the CI-750 is priced for the SMB market, while its appliance form factor maximizes throughput, adding negligible latency to TCP traffic while ensuring protection for up to 20 million elements of data stored in databases and structured files, and up to 250 Gigabytes (GB) of data across more than 400 different file formats including Microsoft Office documents, software source code, CAD drawings, image files, rich media and industry-specific application formats. The CI-750 monitors Email (SMTP), Web, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), File Transfer Protocol (FTP), online tools such as Blogs and Wikis – and all popular WebMail services including Google Gmail, MSN Hotmail, AOL Mail, Windows Live Mail and Yahoo! Mail.
