www.courion.com - Courion Corporation Rachel Weeks, 508-661-0467 rweeks@courion.com or fama PR Pat Chadwick, 617-758-4262 courion@famapr.com Courion(R) Corporation, leaders in access management and compliance, today announced that Info Security Products Guide, a Silicon Valley Communications publication and the world's leading publication on security-related products and technologies, has awarded two Courion customers their Best Deployment
Scenario Awards in the "Identity Management" and "Compliance" categories respectively for their deployment of Courion's Enterprise Provisioning Suite(TM) solution. Courion is the only vendor to have multiple customers recognized in this year's awards.
The prestigious Best Deployment Scenario Award recognizes security vendors with advanced, ground-breaking security solutions that are helping set the bar higher for others in all areas of information security. The Courion case studies were selected based on real world solution deployments that are making the most positive impact on security in today's highly vulnerable information sharing environments.
The "Best Deployment Scenario - Identity Management" went to People's United Bank, the largest regional banking organization headquartered in New England. People's was experiencing extensive growth and needed a leading-edge method to control access through a combination of role-based access control and automated identity and access management. By deploying Courion's Enterprise Provisioning Suite(TM), People's was able to embed strong controls and ensure least privileged access. People's reduced the time it takes to provision employees from five days to just one day and can also now decommission users with a mouse click, significantly reducing its risk exposure.
The "Best Deployment Scenario - Compliance" winner selected Courion's Enterprise Provisioning Suite(TM) solution to quickly support a phased approach to identity and access management. Since the implementation, the company has been able to significantly reduce their compliance risks by reducing the time it takes to disable orphaned accounts, from up to one week to real-time, while uniformly enforcing business policies across the entire organization.

"Successful deployments prove in the most powerful way a vendor's capabilities to solve their customers' similar security needs," says Rake Narang, editor-in-chief, Info Security Products Guide. "Courion's successful deployments at each of the winning companies help solve key identity management issues that not only allow these companies to meet various compliance requirements, but also improve the execution and enforcement of policies that result in better business operations."
"Info Security Products Guide's recognition of Courion's customers in the 'identity management' and 'compliance' categories demonstrates the importance and value of leveraging the automation, verification and remediation of policies to drive business effectiveness," said Todd Chambers, chief marketing officer, Courion. "These successful customer deployments further demonstrate how Courion continues to deliver solutions that directly address organizations' evolving identity access management and compliance requirements."
