Meridian Health Selects Tablus Content Loss Prevention Solutions

(April 9, 2007)--Tablus, provider of content loss prevention solutions, announced that Meridian Health, the premier health care provider in central New Jersey, has deployed Tablus' Content Alarm NW and Content Sentinel content loss prevention products. The Tablus deployment expands the Meridian Health commitment to its more than 250,000 yearly patients that the sensitive content on its network of four hospitals and many partner companies will be protected with a proactive approach.

"In health care we are especially interested in compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). However, to fully protect our users we have to monitor for Personally Identifiable Information (PII) as well as content governed by the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Standard that may also be leaving our network," said Catherine Gorman-Klug, corporate director privacy and data security privacy and security officer for Meridian Health.

Every day, the people within health care organizations obtain sensitive, personal content that raises the overall compliance risk to their organization. The activities undertaken and information received may be part of standard operating procedures -- or the employee may not realize they are violating a federal or internal privacy policy. Content loss prevention solutions, such as Tablus Content Alarm NW and Tablus Content Sentinel, can provide visibility and control in these issues. The true value of a content loss prevention solution lies in its ability to help management identify and correct faulty processes and eliminate accidental disclosures. The Tablus product suite delivers this executive visibility into the location of sensitive content and assists in adherence to regulatory requirements.

With the combination of Tablus Content Sentinel and Tablus Content Alarm NW, Meridian Health is able to gain visibility of all sensitive content in all locations and monitor all sensitive content leaving their network. The Tablus products work closely together to secure data at rest (Content Sentinel) and in motion (Content Alarm NW). Content Alarm NW provides the most precise network monitoring and blocking solution available on the market today. Content Alarm NW ensures regulatory compliance and prevents the loss of sensitive content through all major protocols including HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, Email (SMTP, POP3, IMAP) and IM (AOL, Google, MSN, Yahoo). Content Sentinel is the fastest and most accurate way to locate and remediate sensitive content dispersed across laptops, desktops and file servers on large corporate networks. Content Sentinel's ability to comprehensively report on and remediate all sensitive content at rest across the enterprise delivers enormous benefits for overall content protection and compliance efforts.
