TriGeo Wins Campus Technology 2008 Innovator Award for Ohio Dominican University Information Security Renovation Project

(Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) POST FALLS, ID, August 20 / MARKET WIRE/ --

TriGeo Network
Security, the leading provider of security information and event
management (SIEM) technology for midmarket enterprises, received Campus Technology 's 2008
Innovator Award for its strategic involvement in Ohio Dominican University 's (ODU)
information security renovation project. The university selected TriGeo
Security Information Manager (SIM) to automatically monitor network actions
and enforce IT policies to mitigate internal and external threats.

ODU's project was one of only 14 winners out of nearly 300 submissions.
The 3,000-student university was recognized for its innovative method of
discarding all preconceived views of its existing information security
strategy and undertaking a comprehensive review of its entire information
security posture after a minor security breach. The result:
a multi-layered, ground-up approach where ODU collaborated with vendor
partners to analyze IT failures, inefficiencies, and present and future
threats. This holistic approach of security remediation, awareness
training, network monitoring tools, and quarterly penetration tests has led
to:

-- A vastly improved security environment, on the path to ISO 17799
standards
-- Improved services offered to students, faculty and staff
-- Proactive remediation efforts to correct network deficiencies
-- Successful compliance audits -- for any regulation affecting the
university

Other Ohio Dominican University technology partners receiving the award are
Jacadis, P3 Strategic and Qualys.

"Educational institutions are inherently one of the biggest targets for
data breaches and illegitimate network actions, due to the treasure trove
of personal and financial information on thousands of students, staff and
alumni," said Michelle Dickman, president and CEO of TriGeo Network
Security. "Ohio Dominican University is setting a strong example that
other schools should follow, and we're honored to be a part of the
university's achievements."

TriGeo is consistently recognized for its innovative approach to network
security for the midmarket. In April, the company won SC
Magazine's prestigious Readers' Trust Award for Best Event Management
Solution -- for the second year in a row -- and was named the #1 technology
innovator on Bank
Technology News' FutureNow List. The company also just launched its
blog, TriGeoSphere, to discuss
midmarket monitoring, compliance and network security trends.

compliance needs of midmarket organizations with a solution that

240 pre-built reports for compliance and network analysis, with prices
