A Global Financial Credit Reporting company picks SafeMedia’s P2P Active Denial Appliance to secure its network against Inadvertent File Sharing

SafeMedia’s Active Denial P2P network security appliance has been selected by CRChex, Colombia Falls, Montana, to provide P2P network security for its credit checking application. SafeMedia installed “Clouseau”, a network security management appliance designed to monitor, detect, intercept, capture and actively deny all inadvertent file sharing from P2P networks, encrypted or nonencrypted, without invading the users’ privacy.

Safwat Fahmy, CEO of SafeMedia emphasized that protecting credit reporting companies from the risks of inadvertent sharing of individual credit data while stopping P2P exposure to Identity Theft is a priority for CRChex.

“Being selected by CRChex to protect its customers, employees and company confidential data further validates our commitment in providing the only Active Denial of P2P Network security solutions for the financial services industry”, Fahmy said.

Before choosing SafeMedia’s solution, CRChex relied on a firewall to protect against P2P inadvertent file sharing. Due to the massive use of encrypted P2P, CRChex realized that firewalls could not stop encrypted P2P. “We were impressed with the way SafeMedia could help us block P2P traffic that could not be blocked by firewalls or any other currently available solutions that we evaluated,” said Ed Holt, CIO of CRChex.

“We have policies prohibiting our employees from using P2P, but there was no practical way of enforcing them. Now with SafeMedia’s technology, our network administrators get real-time visibility into P2P Internet traffic, allowing them to capture and block infringing P2P clients and effectively manage our company’s policies”, said Ed Holt, CIO of CRChex.

The scalability, flexibility, and the advanced architecture and technologies embedded in Clouseau provide for customer investment protection in current and future network infrastructure and for the acceleration of system deployment to provide quickest time-to-value for the users.
