Tablus Content Alarm 3.0 Gives Executives Instant 'Information-at-Risk' Visibility Across the Entire Network

SAN MATEO, Calif., Nov. 8 -- Tablus Inc., a leading provider of content protection solutions, today announced the release of Content Alarm 3.0. Content Alarm 3.0 delivers on Tablus' integration strategy, and is the industry's first integrated content security solution that provides a comprehensive view of the network and the desktop in a single reporting structure. It integrates network and desktop content monitoring, protection and loss prevention capabilities to provide company executives and line-of-business managers with immediate visibility into organizational "hot spots" to see where its sensitive information is most vulnerable. Content Alarm 3.0 provides immediate accessibility to confidential information including personal identity information (PII) and personal credit card information governed by the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard to help organizations such as banks, credit card and insurance companies to always know the exact location of their confidential data to protect and safeguard it against insiders and others that would steal, misuse or misplace it.

"Responsibility for preventing identity theft and eliminating the insider threat has escalated from the IT department to the executive suite," said Brian Burke, research manager, IDC Security Products. "With mounting federal, state, and industry regulations, board members and shareholders are demanding visibility into the infrastructure that protects a company's valuable, confidential and proprietary information. This is possible only with a comprehensive content-monitoring solution that prevents confidentiality breaches at all exit points."

"Content Alarm 3.0 eliminates the disconnect that has existed between sophisticated content security technology and business managers, who are the real users of confidential information," said Jim Pante, Tablus CEO. "With Content Alarm 3.0, business managers can comprehensively monitor and protect the information for which they are responsible, and executives can see at-a-glance the status of any policy violation. Together, they can be assured that the company's valuable information assets are being completely and proactively protected."

Tablus Content Alarm 3.0 delivers out-of-the-box functionality through policy modules for PII, PCI and other personal data. It provides incident notification, escalation, tracking and reporting to proactively locate and manage information-at-risk. Its new and powerful content protection features include:

The Executive Dashboard and Consolidated Reporting -- Immediate Insight
Content Alarm 3.0 delivers line-of-business specific, customizable report templates and automatic delivery of executive reports. This provides executives with immediate access to the information they need to fully assess the insider threat. Built-in reports including executive summaries and statistics reports can be scheduled for automatic delivery via e-mail. The Executive Dashboard enables executives to see at-a-glance and across the entire enterprise to accurately identify business areas that require immediate attention.

Enterprise Policy Violation Management
Content Alarm 3.0 provides comprehensive policy violation management that puts control into the hands of the business owners who are closest to the information. Filtered views of policy violation activities ensure that this information is shared only on a "need-to-know" basis. Content Alarm 3.0 enables managers to set policy and restrict access to information for groups of individuals, and includes a built-in workflow for tracking policy violations. Similar to a "trouble ticket," managers can open an incident, set the status and priority, start and stop progress, add comments and set exceptions, and assign tasks.

"Instant On" Compliance -- Bundled Policy Modules
Content Alarm 3.0 comes complete with pre-configured policy modules that enable it to be deployed "out-of-the box" to solve specific business problems. These "instant-on" modules can be enabled as needed, then fine tuned by turning categories within the modules on or off. Designed to help companies comply with regulations such as SB-1386, AB-1950, GLBA, HIPAA, and others, these modules combine multiple content analysis methods to achieve a level of accuracy far greater than is possible with the simple regular expressions implemented in other solutions. This increased accuracy leads to fewer false positives and a greater return on investment.

PolicyAware -- Content Security Education
Content Alarm 3.0 includes PolicyAware, an application that reinforces a company's security policy by presenting users with a message at the time when sensitive information is used (such as opening or printing a document) and reminding them of the sensitive nature of the information they are using. Fostering a culture of security awareness where confidential information is highly valued is critical to ensuring the security of that information.

Availability
Content Alarm 3.0 is available starting November 15, 2005. Pricing starts at $25,000.
