ALPHARETTA, Ga. – Benchmark Technology Group has partnered with Perimeter Networking to provide infrastructure security services to credit unions and banks using Benchmark's branch automation solutions, the companies say. "Not only can we help identify and help avoid infrastructure problems for Benchmark Technology Group's bank and credit union customers, but we can also present a comprehensive and feasible solution targeted toward their specific business needs," said Brad Miller, CEO of Perimeter Internetworking. He says his Trumbull, Conn., company provides active infrastructure and network defense that resides between a credit union's network and the Internet, unlike more traditional, passive security monitoring that simply provides alerts when a security breach occurs. "By working closely with Perimeter Internetworking, we not only realize the unique infrastructure needs of each individual financial institution, but we are also able to provide outsourcing options," said Paul Ponte, CFO of Benchmark Technology Group, whose suburban Atlanta company also offers asset disposal and complete data erasure of hardware to customers, in addition to branch and deposit automation solutions.
