Verdasys' unique data protection solution pack consists of a set of rules and policies embodying best practices for data loss and misuse prevention across seven key industries consisting of manufacturing, finance, insurance, aerospace and defense, high tech, telco, and government as well as for corporate compliance and secure outsourcing.

"The protection of data is vital to both CIGNA and our customers, and our experience in the Verdasys DLP pre-launch indicates that it is the most advanced, functionally effective, scalable and strategic data loss prevention approach we have seen to date," said Craig Shumard, Chief Information Security Officer of CIGNA.

"I'm exceedingly proud of our DLP solution," said Nick Stamos, President of Verdasys. "Verdasys was born of an unfortunate experience with data loss. We were amongst the first companies to gain the perception of the acute importance of dealing with this problem. We formed our company to prevent losses that can destroy a company's competitive position in its market and corrode shareholder value. This is serious stuff. We suffered the experience; we have the insight and are engineering the very best product to deal with this in the most effective way."
