Advantage Bank Selects Voltage Security
to Enable Secure Communication with
Business Partners
Palo Alto, CA., June 14, 2004---Voltage
Security, Inc., a leading provider
of secure business communication solutions, today announced
that Advantage Bank, a locally-owned, community bank headquartered
in Loveland, Colorado is using the Voltage Security platform
to enable secure communication with select business partners.
Voltage SecurePolicy Suite™,
Voltage SecureMail™ and Voltage SecureFile™ will
be used to ensure compliance with federal privacy regulations
and streamline business process.
“We need to communicate with our business partners
via email and protecting the privacy of our bank customers
is extremely important. Our business partners are small,
local businesses that do not have internal IT support; we
needed to find a solution they can use easily and without
training and management. Voltage is ideal because it is flexible,
extremely easy-to-use and provides the privacy we need,” said
Mike Peters, chief financial officer of Advantage Bank.
“We looked at a lot of solutions including those
built on traditional PKI. We like the Voltage platform because
it is a server-based solution and easy to manage, and the
email-based authentication is simple and straightforward
when compared to managing certificates,” said Eric
Jones, IT manager at Advantage Bank.
“Advantage Bank benefits greatly from the Voltage
secure communication platform; it enables a local
business to securely communicate with its business
partners with minimum infrastructure investment. We are seeing
more and more of these scenarios where businesses want to
leverage their extranets and need to add a secure communication
channel to meet compliance standards,” said Wasim
Ahmad, vice president of marketing, Voltage Security,
Inc.
