Financial Services Tech Innovator Wraps up Successful Evaluation
with Purchase and Full Deployment to Ensure Compliance with GLBA
Privacy Regulations Intrusion Inc. (Nasdaq:INTZ), ("Intrusion")
announced today that it received an order from Partners Federal
Credit Union for its Compliance Commander privacy enforcement
system. The order comes at the conclusion of a successful
evaluation by the California-based financial services company, long
recognized as an innovator in IT technologies. Compliance Commander
integrates with the credit union's data network to silently monitor
all traffic for transmission of unencrypted non-public information
(nPI). Typically placed directly behind the financial institution's
perimeter firewall, Compliance Commander sits in-line with the
traffic monitoring all ports and protocols and instantly blocks
illegal transmissions. The system monitors for exact matches of
member nPI using Intrusion's innovative Dynamic Data Dictionary
(D3) technology, thus generating no false positive alerts. Once a
match is detected, Compliance Commander blocks the transmission and
reports the violation in real time. John Christopoulos, Partners
FCU Vice President of IT remarked, "Many credit union IT
professionals have been watching our progress over the past several
weeks during this Compliance Commander evaluation. We were looking
for a compliance system that could automate the monitoring and
ultimately, protection of our 38,000 Members' personal information.
During the initial test phase, Partners evaluation criteria set
high standards for accuracy, performance, reliability and
management. Collaborating closely with Intrusion engineers and
Kryptec, one of Intrusion's certified Compliance Commander
partners, we became impressed with Compliance Commander's
capabilities to meet our privacy standards and help Partners comply
with NCUA and GLBA regulations." Compliance Commander detects
financial institution's customers' nPI in email, instant messages,
IRC, web traffic and file transfers including attachments
associated with all of them. Compatible with all industry standard
and proprietary databases, Compliance Commander blocks, alerts and
reports at real-time on the following when found traveling on the
network unprotected: geographic identifiers such as home and work
addresses numeric identifiers such as Social Security, credit card
account, PIN and license numbers personal identifiers such as
names, login, validation (mother's maiden) and hint-phrases Using
Intrusion's unique D3 technology, Compliance Commander
automatically matches network traffic to user-selectable financial
information. Multiple matches of financial customer nPI within a
single conversation creates a level of assurance that a violation
has occurred and helps the credit union IT staff determine the
priority and severity of the event. "Intrusion engaged with
Partners at multiple technical levels to ensure Compliance
Commander would pass the high-bar test required for selection by
this financial institution," explained Ben Bittle, Intrusion
Director of Product Management. "The test suite involved connecting
Compliance Commander directly on Partners' production network and
we were pleased with the evaluation results. An added benefit from
this exercise was that we provided Partners with a highly accurate
compliance assessment resulting from their Compliance Commander
evaluation." About Partners Federal Credit Union Established in
