SAN FRANCISCO – nCircle, a vulnerability management solutions provider, has helped the $3 billion Patelco CU discover network vulnerabilities, according to the credit union, that were fixed with upgrades. Patelco is using nCircle's IP360 appliance-based solution to secure an online environment for financial transactions. It is designed to protect against business interruption and minimizes risk by effectively reducing network vulnerabilities and exposures. "With substantially fewer false positives and a comprehensive and automated discovery and assessment solution, we receive reliable information and reduce total cost of ownership associated with maintaining software solutions. IP360 is a better product at a lower cost and I estimate that the system paid for itself within the first two weeks," said John Shields, senior vice president, e-Business at Patelco.
