 of personal information. Firewalls and intrusion prevention systems alone simply cannot assure private information does not leak."

Like an information "safety net," Compliance Commander is a real-time, inline network monitoring and auditing system that assists financial institutions in preventing compliance violations and loss of private information. Just a "bump-in-the-wire," Compliance Commander is a transparent network sensor offering real-time alerting and auditing of any kind of network traffic with 100% accuracy. Compliance Commander operates in conjunction with Intrusion's powerful Dynamic Data Dictionary (D3) technology to allow the Compliance Commander's sensors to stay in sync with all customer data. Unlike other compliance systems that merely identify possible patterns or trends, and cause multiple false positives, the Compliance Commander alerts only on the exact matches of the customer's private information.

Ben Bittle, Intrusion Director of Product Management explained, "Intrusion expanded our Value Added Reseller offerings last quarter to continue meeting the needs of credit union and bank customers with our Compliance Commander. We will continue expanding these offerings and our channel to ensure every credit union and bank has the opportunity to prevent the loss of personal customer information from their networks and to meet GLBA requirements."
