Code Green!!! Code Green!!!

October 2007

Code Green brings data loss prevention to SMBs. A new Data Loss Prevention (DLP) appliance has been launched by Code Green Networks Inc. of Santa Clara, California. The new CI-750 appliance enables small offices with 50-250 users and distributed enterprises to protect sensitive data leaving the organization. The company’s founder says small businesses face identical challenges as larger organizations in terms of protecting confidential data and safeguarding intellectual property - including having to comply with the same federal and state regulations and guidelines as organizations with more resources at their disposal. This is especially true with new guidelines set forth by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) for protecting personal information, and recent amendments to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP) regarding the protection of electronic communications for e-Discovery purposes. However, unlike their large enterprise counterparts, small businesses typically do not have in-house security experts or compliance officers advising them on what they should be doing to secure their data. As a result, they are not quite in step with their larger industry counterparts when it comes to deploying technology and instituting and enforcing data protection policies. The appliance costs $10,000, which the company’s owner says is a price point intended for small businesses.
