RICHARDSON, Texas, Aug. 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Intrusion Inc. announced today that it entered into a National Reseller Agreement with Sword & Shield, allowing for the sale and support of its Compliance Commander customer data protection solutions. The Compliance Commander product family includes the pioneering Sentry appliance which prevents the loss of un-encrypted customer data over public networks. The family also includes Database Defender, a database activity detection and monitoring tool that prevents inappropriate access of customer databases and fileservers.

"Regulation has mandated that organizations protect their customer data," stated Will Henderson, CEO of Sword & Shield. "The healthcare and financial services sectors are particularly wrapped in regulation, and we will be focusing on these markets. At a minimum, proactive strategies for protecting customer data are mandatory for avoiding data breach fiascos that now frequently appear in media. Some enterprises have recognized that robust data security strategies can even be competitive advantages for attracting consumers in the marketplace. We have chosen Intrusion because they deliver industry leading solutions for protecting this data."

"Large customer data breaches are hitting the media headlines on almost a daily basis," said Ward Paxton, Intrusion CEO. "Understandably, this is a fast growing market with lots of opportunity for trusted resellers. Sword & Shield is one of the most respected security resellers in the country for delivering effective security solutions to their customers. Period. Their position as Computer Reseller News' (CRN) #8 fastest growing security reseller in the country validates this trust that their customers place with Sword & Shield when buying security solutions."

Compliance Commander Sentry is installed on enterprise networks, typically next to the perimeter firewall. Sentry monitors all communication ports, protocols and applications, dynamically, including web (HTTP), file transfers (FTP), and email (SMTP) and instant messaging (IM) with file attachments. When un-encrypted customer data is detected, Sentry blocks the violation and alerts the administrator.
