Palisade Systems Wins Multi-Unit Data Loss Prevention Contract From Media Leader Meredith Corporation

AMES, Iowa, June 2 /PRNewswire/ — Palisade Systems, a leading provider of content monitoring and filtering and data leak prevention products, announced today the addition of the Meredith Corporation , one of the nation’s leading media and marketing companies whose consumer database contains more than 85 million names, to their growing base of customers using their data loss prevention tool, PacketSure. Meredith Corporation chose Palisade’s PacketSure appliance to provide internal monitoring of credit card information as well as a variety of data loss prevention capabilities including monitoring web and bandwidth usage. Palisade was chosen over the incumbent vendor because of PacketSure’s ability to provide a complete DLP solution with the added value of URL and protocol management — all at a competitive price point.

“We first looked at PacketSure to provide internal monitoring of credit card information, however, we quickly discovered PacketSure’s ability to fully address many of our network security needs including data loss prevention,” said Dan Carlson, Director of IT Security for Meredith Corporation. “We selected PacketSure over other competitors’ products as it offered a cost-effective and comprehensive solution for our data security and compliance needs.”

Palisade’s PacketSure is an economical solution for companies looking to protect their sensitive information from both internal and external threats, as it monitors data in motion on the network, at rest on hard drives and provides end-point monitoring for controlling what gets down loaded off personal computers and laptops. 7.0 is now available for purchase; with prices starting at $20,000.

“PacketSure 7.0 was the best choice for the Meredith Corporation because of its ability to provide a variety of data loss prevention capabilities including supervising web usage and bandwidth and meet their needs to internally monitor credit card information,” said Kurt Shedenhelm, CEO of Palisade Systems. “Competing data loss prevention vendors who sell to large enterprises like Meredith Corporation would lead you to believe that the average deployment should take 1-2 days and the cost of professional deployment services are upwards of one million dollars. However, PacketSure has the quickest deployment times in the industry taking only 1-2 hours to deploy and is the most affordable data loss prevention product of its kind on the market.”
