NetClarity's Auditor Enterprise Provides Preemptive, Proactive Protection of Westborough Bank's Network; NetClarity's Appliance Allows Community Bank to Go Above and Beyond FDIC & GLBA Requirements

Business Wire, August 21, 2006

BEDFORD, Mass. -- NetClarity, a leading provider of proactive network security products and services, today announced that Westborough Bank, a community bank in Westborough, Mass., is using an Auditor Enterprise appliance to secure its corporate network and comply with FDIC and GLBA requirements. The appliance preemptively, proactively protects the Bank's network by detecting, deterring, defending and defeating hackers, viruses, worms, spyware and malicious insiders.

Auditor Enterprise dynamically detects wired and wireless assets, such as laptops, as they connect to Westborough Bank's network, and regularly and automatically audits them for Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs), the systemic cause of 95% of all network security breaches. In addition to providing workflow and remediation, the appliance generates IT gap analysis and regulatory compliance reports tailored to the banking industry. Furthermore, Auditor Enterprise complements Westborough Bank's external patch management system, Kaseya, by allowing its Information Technology Department to scan for vulnerabilities whenever they choose to do so.

"NetClarity's Auditor Enterprise enables us to be proactive in auditing our network for CVEs," said Phil Maio, vice president and information technology officer for Westborough Bank. "We chose the turnkey solution over Tenable and Microsoft because of its speed, reliability and flexibility. Auditor Enterprise's comprehensive identification of vulnerabilities enables us to quickly patch holes that may put our network at risk. The appliance also provides detailed compliance-based reports that show proof of due diligence for FDIC and GLBA regulators."

"Auditor Enterprise enables Westborough Bank to continue building strong customer relationships while ensuring the integrity of their data," said Gary S. Miliefsky, founder and CTO of NetClarity. "The appliance allows the Bank to mitigate risk by quickly and easily auditing key network assets more often than required by banking industry regulations."
