Business Wire, Sept 28, 2004

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. -- GlobalCerts(TM) today announced that Enterprise Bank & Trust Company, a Lowell, MA-based mortgage and investment banking institution, has deployed the GlobalCerts(TM) SecureMail Gateway(TM) in its network operations.

Enterprise Bank & Trust is a highly recognized leader in business banking. They manage investment assets and service mortgage loans totaling $1.2 billion. Enterprise Bank & Trust is a full-service bank offering savings, investment services as well as mortgage loan servicing. They pride themselves in deploying state-of-the-art technology including ATM and Internet banking services. The bank operates 13 branch offices in Salem, NH, and the Worcester County and Merrimack Valley regions within Massachusetts.

Enterprise Bank & Trust uses email to transact a lot of their investment business. This email often contains their clients' personal information. The bank needed to comply with the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act which pertains to protecting such sensitive information. "Compliance with GLBA was important to us, however, our commitment to ensuring that our customers are able to conduct their investment business in complete privacy using secure messaging was the deciding factor," said Stephen Irish, Chief Information Officer for the bank. "GlobalCerts(TM) provided a unique appliance solution that was extremely easy to deploy and manage with no desktop software requirements. And, the SecureTier(TM) feature automates digital certificate management services making our job even easier."

The GlobalCerts(TM) SecureMail Gateway(TM) solution also offers the unique capability of making it simple for customers to communicate securely around the world, completely transparent, no matter which entity they work for. Additionally, the SecureMessenger(TM) feature allows customers to communicate securely to anyone with a web browser. The solution not only meets a customer's present needs, but also meets the future needs of applications that will increase the value of their investment, rather than becoming obsolete as most commodity products do.
