nexTier avails data security soln

SANTA CLARA, US: nexTier Networks, a provider in redefining data leak prevention (DLP) with semantic analysis, on Tuesday announced the availability of a new class of DLP products designed to help small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs) mitigate data security risks.

The new Compliance Enforcer 100 and 200 appliances leverage nexTier’s DLP algorithms with semantic DNA analysis for advanced accuracy, automated security policy management and compliance reporting in a single, centralized administrator’s console.

As a result, companies can reduce data security and compliance administration and enforcement from weeks to just minutes while minimizing data breaches and internal malicious threats, said a press release.

“Enterprises of all sizes are increasingly being required to meet the mounting demands of regulatory compliance, putting the SMB at a distinct disadvantage in terms of cost and personnel," said Tarique Mustafa, CEO and founder of nexTier Networks.

“nexTier’s Compliance Enforcer appliances give small businesses an affordable, easy-to-deploy DLP solution that protects data in real-time, while identifying threats and performing remediation activities with recommended actions,” he added.

Aimed at enabling small businesses to address increased security threats in the face of budgetar pressures and stringent data compliance regulations, nexTier’s Compliance Enforcer is now available as a 1U or 2U rack-mountable server appliance.

Built from the ground up to significantly reduce deployment time to less than an hour, Compliance Enforcer cuts configuration and initial set-up time to minutes and eliminates the requirement of on-going manual pre-tagging and pre-processing of sensitive data. This reduces both short and long-term total cost of ownership, added the release.
