TriGeo Wins 'Best of Show' and
'Best Execution of a Midmarket IT Solution'
at Midsize Enterprise Summit™ 2008

Nine Midmarket Innovation Award Wins in Three Years

POST FALLS, Idaho (Sept. 30, 2008) -- TriGeo Network Security, the leading provider of security information and event management (SIEM) technology for mid-market enterprises, just won two more Midmarket Innovation Awards at this month's Midsize Enterprise Summit™ 2008: Best of Show and Best Execution of a Midmarket IT Solution.

These wins come on the heels of two awards the company won at the Midsize Enterprise Summit's May event – including Best of Show and Best Midmarket Hardware Solution.

TriGeo has won nine Midmarket Innovation Awards in just three years – including three Best of Show awards – validating the capability of the company's solution and its ongoing commitment to driving product innovation. TriGeo has been recognized for innovation in several industry awards this year including its number #1 ranking in Bank Technology News' FutureNow List, highlighting its strong focus on proactively protecting midmarket networks from both internal and external threats in real time.

The Midmarket Innovation Awards are the only awards in the channel voted on solely by the attending IT decision-makers who directly influence their customers' technology buying decisions. More than 300 of North America's top midmarket technology executives attended September's event, where both security and compliance were hot topics.

"Being compliant doesn't mean that your organization is secure. Recent big-name breaches highlight the importance of defining and enforcing stringent security policies – some that fall outside of check-box compliance practices," said Michelle Dickman, president and CEO of TriGeo Network Security. "We're helping midmarket businesses develop a 'security-first' mentality that ensures regulatory compliance – not the other way around."

TriGeo Security Information Manager (SIM) is the industry's only real-time SIEM solution. It sits in the center of the network and comes stocked with more than 650 network monitoring rules and 240 pre-built reports for compliance and network analysis. The solution automatically identifies, notifies and responds to network attacks and policy violations as they happen and includes features that can block unauthorized USB device use. TriGeo SIM starts at less than $20,000 and is tailored exclusively for midmarket networks with 50 to 5,000 devices. The company has hundreds of customers across education, financial services, healthcare, government, utility, retail and media/entertainment.
