SAN DIEGO, CA--(Marketwire - April 21, 2009) - St.
Bernard Software, Inc. (OTCBB : SBSW ), a leader in Web security appliances, today
announced that the San Francisco Moscone Center, one of the largest event
centers in the United States, is now an iPrism Web Filter customer. Moscone
chose iPrism for its ease of use, and its ability to provide 24x7
protection against critical security risks.
As host of the annual RSA Conference, recognized as the world's largest
information security industry conference and expo, the Moscone Center is
synonymous with best-of-breed technology and network protection. With
operations running round-the-clock and responsible for enormous amounts of
critical data, Moscone wanted to proactively mitigate any potential
malware, spyware and other Internet-based threats from infecting corporate
machines and potentially corrupting the network.
After evaluating various competitive solutions, the iPrism Web Filter proved the most reliable at
providing seamless perimeter protection against malware while easing IT
administration burdens.
Moscone was also impressed by iPrism's ease-of-use and management. Prior to
implementing the appliance, Moscone's IT department spent hours each week
adjusting Internet access for employees who needed access to specific
job-related sites. With iPrism, Moscone's IT staff can easily customize
settings and set special permissions with only a few simple mouse clicks,
saving valuable time and allowing administrators to focus on other critical
tasks. Not only does this allow the organization to run more efficiently,
but it also keeps employees more focused and productive.
"Above everything else, we wanted to ensure that our network was secure
from any outside security threats that could impact our work environment,"
said Jeewan Gill, IT Manager at Moscone Center. "As a 24x7 operation, we
needed to make sure that our computers weren't vulnerable to malware,
spyware, and Internet-based viruses. iPrism prevents these threats from
infecting employee desktops and impacting productivity. iPrism also
prevents access to inappropriate Web sites, and provides us with the
visibility we need to investigate specific workstations or network issues."
"Moscone's situation is unique because they happen to host the largest
security event of the year," said Steve Yin, vice president global sales
and marketing at St. Bernard. "Our high-performance appliance is tailored
to provide accurate and reliable security against Web-based threats, while
allowing organizations to affordably and efficiently maintain healthy
networks without placing a heavy burden on limited IT staff and resources."
St. Bernard's iPrism is a self-contained, dedicated Internet filtering
appliance that is simple for organizations to install, configure and
manage. It provides protection from online threats in HTTP, IM and P2P
traffic including spyware, malware and phishing, as well as prevents
employee Internet abuse by managing Web access.
