Perimeter Announces Partnership with Pacific Coast Bankers' Bank (PCBB)
Milford, CT October 18, 2006 - Perimeter,
the leading provider of multi-threat, on demand security services for
financial institutions and other businesses with high data availability
and security requirements, announced today their partnership with
Pacific Coast Banker’s Bank (PCBB), which provides a wide array of
correspondent banking services to financial institutions in the Western
US and across the nation. Under the terms of the partnership, PCBB will
recommend Perimeter's on demand security services to their respondent
bank customers.
“We are excited to formalize our partnership with
PCBB as they provide invaluable correspondent services to their
extensive network of member banks,” said Brad Miller, CEO of Perimeter
Internetworking. “Recommendations given by PCBB are taken very
seriously by their customer banks because they undertake an extensive
due diligence process before establishing any type of partnership. We
look forward to working together with PCBB to offer their clients a
dynamic, yet affordable security solution, complemented by our 24/7
trained engineering staff.”
Perimeter’s Gateway 4.0 is the fourth
generation of the market’s leading Security as a Service solution.
Gateway 4.0 combines dozens of technologies from best-of-breed vendors
to create the industry’s first “business aware” perimeter security
service. The Gateway security service replaces traditional firewall and
IDS monitoring services with a hosted, network-based service that
eliminates the need for all future capital expenditures and integration
costs. Gateway 4.0 starts with a model of Perimeter’s clients’ business
processes, their value to the business and the potential impacts of
breach or failure. With this knowledge, Gateway 4.0 can distinguish the
events that will be business impacting from the ever present noise of
security technology. Gateway 4.0 provides over 50 pre-integrated
network security services including Intrusion Defense, System Defense,
Email Defense, Vulnerability Defense, User Defense and Secure
Networking.
“PCBB is excited to be able to offer managed network
and security services through Perimeter to the community banks in our
marketplace,” said Tom Evans, President and CEO of PCBB. “We believe
the protection of customer information is even more important in
today’s regulatory environment.” Tom also said, “last year PCBB
shareholder banks identified network security and the threats of
unauthorized access to their systems as critical areas of concern. PCBB
responded by taking the initiative to look for an outstanding partner
to provide solutions that meet these concerns.”
