Code Green Networks and ZixCorp Secure Washoe County Records
TrueDLP(TM) Solution and E-Mail Encryption Service Prevent Unauthorized Transfers of Sensitive Data for Reno Area Government

SUNNYVALE, CA--(Marketwire - April 21, 2009) - Code Green Networks, the
leader in comprehensive data loss prevention solutions that can be deployed
quickly and cost-effectively, today announced that Washoe County, Nevada
has selected its TrueDLP™ system to prevent unauthorized transfers of
sensitive information outside its network.
As the administrator for county business, Washoe County Government handles
credit card payments and criminal records for some 400,000 residents, along
with personal records on its own 3,000 employees. With the enactment of
Nevada Revised Statute (NRS) 597.970 in October of 2008, the county needed
a way to comply with the requirement to prevent unauthorized and
unencrypted transfers of records via email, webmail, file transfers, and
removable media such as USB memory sticks or CDs. To address the problem,
Washoe County Government chose the Code Green CI-1500 appliance, CI-Agent
endpoint software, and the hosted email encryption service from ZixCorp
(NASDAQ : ZIXI ).
"We looked at every DLP solution on the market and Code Green's product was
a much better value and was much easier to use than the other products,"
said Cory Casazza, CIO of Washoe County. "The interface is much more
intuitive and makes it very easy to manage policies and monitor data
movement across the network."
Code Green's
CI-1500 appliance and
CI-Agent endpoint software implement centralized management and
reporting, built-in e-mail encryption, and fully-integrated endpoint agents
performing discovery and in-use services. With all of these services
integrated into one appliance, the CI-1500 is easier to deploy and far more
cost-effective than other solutions.
"State and local governments, along with the federal government, are taking
a much tougher stance on the use and transmission of the private
information of its citizens. The Code Green TrueDLP solution was
specifically designed to eliminate the complexity and unnecessary costs for
organizations tackling this data privacy issue," said Rod Murchison, vice
president of marketing and strategic alliances for Code Green Networks.
"Washoe County joins a growing list of commercial organizations and
government agencies that are finding a fast and comprehensive solution to
their needs with TrueDLP."

Johnson, vice president of business development and product management at
ZixCorp. "Our hosted Email Encryption Service was designed to integrate
quickly with sophisticated data loss prevention solutions such as Code
Green's TrueDLP."
