Market Wire, October, 2006

Ingrian® Networks, Inc., the leading provider of data privacy solutions, today announced the release of the Ingrian Teradata Connector, a solution that lets organizations securely and effectively offload all cryptographic functions from Teradata® databases onto Ingrian's network-based DataSecure hardware appliances. The Ingrian Teradata Connector supports Teradata Warehouse 8.1 for Ingrian DataSecure Platforms. The Teradata Connector joins Ingrian's comprehensive family of database connectors, which includes support for Oracle 8i, 9i, and 10g; Microsoft SQL Server; and IBM DB2.

With DataSecure, companies can address one of today's most critical security threats -- data left unprotected within applications, databases, and storage systems. DataSecure gives customers comprehensive controls for protecting sensitive data, delivering such capabilities as granular, field-level encryption; centralized FIPS-compliant key management; integrated authentication and authorization; and robust logging and auditing. In addition, DataSecure enables users to comply with legislative mandates including the Payment Card Industry (PCI).

"We're seeing more and more organizations looking to do database-level encryption to meet compliance mandates such as the Payment Card Industry ( PCI ) Data Security Standard," said Karim Toubba, vice president of product management and corporate strategy for Ingrian Networks. "Ingrian is delighted to be able to provide world class encryption to Teradata that addresses critical needs such as security threats, while delivering a range of features designed to offer more granular control of security and to provide even more flexibility in implementation."
