MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Nov. 30 -- CORE NEWS FACTS -- Reconnex today introduced the Reconnex iGuard 2600S, a customized version of its existing iGuard 2600 appliance specifically tuned for Value- Added Reseller (VAR) and integrator-partner distribution to mid-sized businesses that want to protect private data and ensure compliance.

-- The iGuard 2600S provides an easy entry point into the information monitoring and protection market, offering speedy deployment and simplified day-to-day administration and reporting. It also provides pre-configured policies to address key security requirements:

-- Company Confidentiality
-- Data Privacy
-- Legal Accountability
-- Employee Appropriate Use

-- The iGuard 2600S solution helps mid-sized banking, finance, and healthcare organizations secure private customer data and other sensitive records to protect their brands and public reputations as well as to meet stringent compliance requirements and avoid significant fines or other penalties.

-- Deployed as a passive device at network egress points, the iGuard 2600S monitors all sensitive data in motion and captures critical content to enable organizations to investigate exposure after the fact and improve their overall information security policies. The following are key specifications:

-- Release 5.0 software

-- The iGuard 2600S helps channel partners extend their expertise from edge protection (anti-spam and anti-virus solutions, gateways, and more) to information and monitoring protection, a market that is expected to exceed $1.9 billion in sales by 2009, according to industry analyst firm IDC.
