Enhanced Software Products Deploys Code Green and Blue Coat Solutions for Data Center Security

Combination of Code Green CI-750 Appliance and Blue Coat ProxySG Appliances Prevent Data Loss, Optimize WAN Connectivity


SUNNYVALE, CA--(Marketwire - October 28, 2008) - Code Green Networks, the leader in comprehensive data loss prevention solutions that can be deployed quickly and cost-effectively, today announced that Enhanced Software Products of Spokane, WA has deployed its CI-750 Content Inspection Appliance to protect its network against data leakage, along with the Blue Coat® ProxySG® secure appliance to block inappropriate, malicious and unwanted inbound traffic and accelerate applications over the Wide Area Network (WAN).

Enhanced Software Products (ESP) is a core data processor for credit unions, handling data processing, storage, and other data center functions for roughly 30 credit union customers across the United States. With a mission to secure sensitive customer information and to provide fast and secure access to that data for users around the country, ESP wanted a solution that could be quickly deployed and would accurately filter outbound content to protect against accidental loss via e-mail, web mail, and other methods.

"We chose the Code Green and Blue Coat solutions because they represented the best combination of features, ease of use, and value for our environment," said Matt Lefler, vice president of Enhanced Software Products. "We liked the plug-and-play deployment, the rich and highly efficient policy creation tools, and the transparent support of our Windows Server and SQL environment."

Code Green Networks' Content Inspection appliances combine content inspection, policy creation and management, and e-mail encryption in one unit, greatly simplifying deployment without sacrificing accuracy or effectiveness. In the same manner, the Blue Coat ProxySG appliances integrate inbound content filtering with WAN optimization. As a result, ESP was able to deploy the entire solution within two days without impacting its data center employees or its customers across the United States.

"Our Content Inspection appliances allow customers to deploy enterprise-class data loss prevention capabilities with minimal time and expense, while the accuracy of our content filtering technology reduces false positives and administrative overhead," said Rod Murchison, vice president of Marketing & Strategic Alliances at Code Green Networks. "With our joint solution, we are finding a lot of interest in a combined solution that significantly enhances security while speeding application access for our customers in finance, health care, and other industries."

"The combination of Blue Coat and Code Green provides organizations with the ability to improve the performance of applications across the distributed network while preventing sensitive data, even encrypted data, from leaving the network," said Bethany Mayer, senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing at Blue Coat Systems. "As distributed enterprises seek to optimize their networks to increase employee productivity and competitiveness, this type of solution becomes increasingly important to ensuring the integrity of the data and applications running across the network."
