Sentrigo's Database Security Solution Protects Academic Institutions against Breaches and Data Theft

Database Activity Monitoring and Intrusion Prevention Leader
Offers Resources for Institutions of Higher Education to Help Them
Protect Sensitive Data and Comply with Regulatory Requirements
WOBURN, Mass.--(Business Wire)--
Students across the country are enjoying summer break, but
academic institutions aren't taking time off. A top priority for many,
in the wake of numerous high-profile data breaches, is improving data
security to protect students, faculty and alumni, as well as to comply
with regulatory requirements aimed at keeping personally identifiable
information (PII) private. Sentrigo, an innovator in database security
software, is offering those institutions a webinar on database
security on July 24 and a technology classroom demonstration at Campus
Technology 2008 (July 28-31, Boston, Mass.).

Universities and colleges store electronic records on tens of
thousands of students, applicants, staff and alumni. These databases
oftentimes include not just personal information and academic records,
but medical and financial data. Data breaches damage schools'
reputations and also impose liability for the material costs of
notification under database breach notification laws such as
California SB 1386, with similar laws now in effect in over 40 states.

Many U.S. colleges and universities have selected Sentrigo's
Hedgehog(TM) database activity monitoring and intrusion prevention
software to protect their sensitive data against misuse by insiders as
well from external hackers. Hedgehog resides directly on the database
server to monitor all activity and protect it in real time. It is a
software-only solution that can be quickly downloaded, installed and
configured, and then centrally monitored and managed.

"Educational institutions have been a lucrative target for data
theft in recent years," said Nathan Shuchami, chief executive officer
at Sentrigo. "Some of the biggest names have suffered breaches,
entailing substantial material costs and damage to their reputations.
Hedgehog has made significant inroads into the education sector due to
its non-intrusive approach and fast, easy deployment. We're proud that
renowned academic institutions in the U.S. and abroad trust Hedgehog
to safeguard their most sensitive information."

Webinar Helps Institutions Learn How to Avoid Data Breaches

Sentrigo's July 24 webinar is designed for university and college
database and information security professionals who are responsible
for securing personally identifiable information and detecting and
preventing database attacks. The session will demonstrate how database
attacks are perpetrated and how they can be stopped, and also discuss
how institutions can:

-- Achieve complete visibility into user activity in the database

-- Detect and prevent suspicious database use in real time

-- Virtually patch databases against vulnerabilities, without
DBMS downtime

The webinar will be held tomorrow, July 24, at 2:00 p.m. eastern
time. To register, go to

Hands-On Technology Demonstration at Campus Technology Conference

Sentrigo will also be available at the Campus Technology 2008
exhibition and conference to help IT professionals learn more about
database security. Campus Technology will be held this year from July
28-31 at the Westin Boston Waterfront Hotel.

Attendees are invited to get a firsthand view of Hedgehog at
Sentrigo's booth, #321. The company will also lead a technology
classroom session, "Avoiding the Next Database Breach," on July 27 at
2:00 p.m. in the presentation theatre on the exhibit hall floor.
