nexTier Networks Announces Next-Generation Data Leakage Prevention Security Solution With New and Enhanced Benefits for Customers
SANTA CLARA, CA, May 04, 2010 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
nexTier Networks, the company redefining data leak prevention (DLP)
with semantic analysis, today announced a major upgrade to the
features and benefits of its Compliance Enforcer 3.0 solution. The
new version of the Compliance Enforcer appliance leverages nexTier's
powerful DLP algorithms with semantic analysis to provide end-users
with auto-classification features, the ability to customize
multi-tier workflow, and monitoring capabilities for Web 2.0
applications with HTTP:POST support and analysis.
With 60 percent of all corporate data being accessed via an endpoint
(according to IDC research), small- and mid-sized businesses find
that as their networks expand, encryption technologies are no longer
a viable protection option for their data. nexTier's Compliance
Enforcer appliances deliver data security that goes above and beyond
what's available through encryption, thereby protecting companies
from both inadvertent and malicious attacks while also ensuring
company security policies are in line with government and regulatory
mandates. Compliance Enforcer uses a highly defensible, patented
technology to stop data leaks before they happen. The latest version
of Compliance Enforcer builds on the company's secure appliances to
bring more features to organizations.
"We continue to enhance and add new features to Compliance Enforcer
to ensure our customers are getting the most complete and robust data
loss prevention solution on the market," said Tarique Mustafa, CEO
and founder of nexTier Networks. "Compliance Enforcer 3.0 builds on
the success of our unique DLP technology with advanced Domain
Specific Ontology definition features and tools, a fully customizable
sophisticated multi-tier workflow, Web 2.0 application monitoring and
analysis, and virtualization capabilities so our customers can
integrate our solution for MSSP and SaaS deployments."
As a major upgrade to the Compliance Enforcer platform, Compliance
Enforcer 3.0 is equipped with advanced features and tools for Domain
Specific Ontology definition through its rich graphical user
interface. The new features and tools allow the chief information
security officer's (CISO) staff to create, modify and enhance the
out-of-the-box ontology so it can be tailored according to their
enterprise's specific needs. This powerful feature further enables
automation of Real-Time Data Classification that eliminates the need
for pre-tagging and dramatically reduces the total cost of ownership
(TCO) by eliminating the cumbersome manual classification and tagging
of data. For example, the built-in Ontologies (for HIPAA, PCI, PII,
the Financial Industry, and the Legal Industry) that Compliance
Enforcer 3.0 ships with can be further upgraded and customized for
the specific enterprise (such as one hospital chain versus another
one, or one financial institution versus another).
Compliance Enforcer 3.0 is also outfitted with a sophisticated
Multi-tier Workflow that can be customized to include various DLP
authorities within the enterprise for a real-time forensics and
decision-making process for DLP enforcement.
With virtualization becoming increasingly important to businesses of
all sizes, the latest version of Compliance Enforcer is also packaged
as Virtual DLP Servers for easy MSSP and SaaS based deployment. Also
included as part of the solution is a packaged DLP Agent for end-host
monitoring.
New capabilities around Web. 2.0 applications monitoring gives
enterprises tighter control over the web-based channels that may
cause data leak problems. Compliance Enforcer 3.0 does monitoring and
analysis of Web 2.0 applications that use both HTTP and HTTPS
protocols. Additional protocols, messaging servers and improved
support for encryption have also been added to the solution.
Other enhancements that will benefit end-customers include additional
support for more file types and formats, support for multiple
browsers and clients using MIME file formats, file attachment and
secure TLS support for instant messaging, and enhancements to the
solution's advanced security features (including NTLM and TSL
enhancements for SMTP, and SSL enhancements for XMPP).
In its continued commitment to the value-added reseller (VAR)
channel, nexTier Networks is adding Xbridge Systems of Mountain View,
Calif. to its growing list of channel partners selling Compliance
Enforcer. Xbridge, a leader in IBM 390 Database access technology,
has signed a VAR relationship agreement to resell nexTier's
Compliance Enforcer DLP solution. Under an OEM arrangement, nexTier's
Compliance Enforcer product will be integrated with Xbridge Systems'
IBM 390 Database access API to provide DLP capabilities for
mission-critical data stored in legacy databases.
"By partnering with nexTier Networks, we now offer to our customers
the ability to gain the benefits of DLP for critical data they have
stored in their legacy databases," said Raymond A. Williams Jr.,
President and CEO of Xbridge Systems, a leading provider of
world-class data access, data query, data delivery, data discovery
and data loss prevention solutions. "Many of our customers have
information vital to the operation of their businesses stored in
legacy databases, and the integration of Compliance Enforcer Ver-3.0
with our IBM 390 Database access API will provide them with DLP
