Milford Firm Protects NBB
Milford-based Perimeter Internetworking, a leading provider of multi-threat Security In The Cloud (MTSiC) services for financial institutions and other businesses with high data availability and security requirements, recently announced a partnership with Nebraska Banker’s Bank, which provides a wide array of correspondent banking services to more than 100 financial institutions in Nebraska. Under the terms of the partnership, NBB will recommend Perimeter’s hosted Security in the Cloud service offerings to its correspondent banks.
“We are excited to formalize our partnership with NBB as they provide invaluable correspondent services to their extensive network of member banks,” said Brad Miller, chief executive officer of Perimeter Internetworking. “Recommendations given by NBB are taken very seriously by their customer banks because they undertake an extensive due diligence process before establishing any type of partnership. We look forward to working together with NBB to offer their clients a dynamic yet affordable security solution, complemented by our 24/7 trained engineering staff.”
“NBB is very excited to be able to offer managed network and security services for the community banks in our market,” said Bill Voss, chief executive officer of Nebraska Bankers’ Bank. “Midwest Independent Bank, the other bankers’ bank in our holding company, has also benefited from the services of Perimeter. We believe the protection of customer information is even more important in today’s regulatory environment.”
Perimeter’s Gateway 4.0 is the fourth generation of the market’s leading Security In The Cloud solution. Gateway 4.0 combines dozens of technologies from best-of-breed vendors to create the industry’s first “business aware” perimeter security service. The Gateway security service replaces traditional firewall and IDS monitoring services with a hosted, network-based service that eliminates the need for all future capital expenditures and integration costs. Gateway 4.0 starts with a model of Perimeter’s clients’ business processes, their value to the business and the potential impacts of breach or failure. With that knowledge, Gateway 4.0 can distinguish the events that will be business impacting from the ever present noise of security technology. Gateway 4.0 provides over 60 pre-integrated network security services.
