Original Press Release:

Tablus Content Sentinel(TM) Eliminates the Risk of Fraud and Identity Theft

SAN MATEO, Calif., Nov. 8 -- Tablus Inc., a leading provider of content protection solutions, today announced the release of Content Sentinel. Content Sentinel is the first and only industry solution that enables organizations such as banks, credit card and insurance companies to find and fix the root cause of identity theft-uncontrolled data. It scans networks, laptops, desktops and servers for data violations, and quarantines or deletes the corresponding files for immediate remediation. Content Sentinel finds confidential information that has been scattered throughout the network, and secures it so that it cannot be stolen, lost or misused.

According to Jim Pante, CEO at Tablus, "Files containing sensitive consumer information such as personally identifiable information and credit card information constantly move throughout organizations as part of day-to-day business operations. This movement makes it impossible for organizations to know exactly where their sensitive information resides, making it easy for it to fall into the wrong hands. Content Sentinel is the only solution today that enables organizations to always know whenever and wherever that information is at risk, and to take swift and decisive action to protect their customers, avoiding fraud and identity theft."

"Online banking providers today must be proactive in protecting confidential customer information," said Scott Mackelprang, vice president of security and compliance at Digital Insight. "One effective defense is to deploy multi-layered protection that proactively and continuously scans network and IT resources to ensure data protection policies are being enforced. We believe the Tablus solution shows promise to do just that."

Content Sentinel's greatest strengths include its ability to accurately and reliably scan and manage enormous volumes of data. Its highly scalable, distributed computing model uses temporary agents that fan out, find and report on data violations. The reports are accessed on a central dashboard and enable the users to quickly and reliably find and fix problems without consuming large amounts of bandwidth or slowing down the network, making it particularly well-suited for large and growing enterprises. Content Sentinel excels at finding hidden data violations that would otherwise be overlooked or ignored. Unlike other companies' products that only scan "My Documents" folders for confidential information, Content Sentinel scans the entire drive and can find sensitive and confidential data hiding in nooks and crannies such as temporary files and archived folders. The power of Content Sentinel is that it both locates and controls confidential information to secure it against illegal and improper use.

Content Sentinel's industry-leading capabilities are not offered by any other vendor today. Its features include:

Centralized, Policy-controlled Network Scanning
Content Sentinel provides centralized violation reporting that proactively locates sensitive information at rest across desktops, laptops, servers and network-attached storage devices. This information is located through highly scalable temporary agents that use the idle compute cycles of machines on the network or through Tablus' proven data crawling technology. Search criteria include regulated information governed by the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard, GLBA, HIPAA, and SB-1386/AB-1950, and established corporate polices to ensure regulatory, industry and internal compliance.

Accurate Sensitive Information Detection
Content Sentinel accurately identifies non-compliant data to prevent false positives. It discovers all duplicate data sets including those with different file names and can be directed to delete or quarantine the non-compliant data. Content Sentinel uses proprietary policy modules that enable accurate detection of regulated information. It also provides an easy-to-extend interface to generate custom modules that locate information specific to the organization.

Rapid Risk Remediation
Content Sentinel includes an Information-at-Risk Snapshot that displays an organization's risk profile by company, group or department, and identifies and prioritizes remediation activities by those with the greatest risk. It is the only industry solution that can remediate at-risk files regardless of where they reside on the network to secure them against criminal and unauthorized use.

Availability
Content Sentinel is available starting December 1, 2005. Pricing starts at $9,995.
