Guaranty Bond Bank Selects Alert Logic to Provide IT Network Security

On-Demand Security Solution Will Protect Bank's Highly Distributed Network

HOUSTON - JULY 24, 2007 - Guaranty Bond Bank announced today it has selected Alert Logic to provide comprehensive IT security protection for its network of twelve banking centers located in ten communities throughout East Texas and in the West Texas community of Fort Stockton.

Founded in 1913 in Mount Pleasant, Texas, Guaranty Bond Bank is one of the oldest and most firmly established banks in the region.

"Guaranty Bond Bank's reputation for conservative soundness extended to its approach to IT security," said Danny Muskrat, director of network security for Guaranty Bond Bank. "We are committed to providing reliable IT security protection for our banking centers and our customers, so we conducted a thorough and extensive search for the best solution available. We concluded that Alert Logic was the best solution to extend the highest level of IT security across our network."

Alert Logic's Threat Manager™ solution is the industry's first solution that leverages a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) delivery platform to provide the critical combination of intrusion protection, vulnerability management and IT compliance automation in a single hosted product. In an April 2007 product review, SC Magazine described Alert Logic's Threat Manager as the best on-demand network security solution available.

Mid-sized businesses rely on Alert Logic's solution to add a critical layer of protection from worms, Trojans, botnets and other harmful attacks that continue to evade firewall and antivirus defenses. Alert Logic's unique SaaS approach to IT security is particularly well-suited to address the needs of highly distributed networks that connect computers in multiple locations.

"Mid-sized businesses and their customers deserve the same high quality, comprehensive IT security that large enterprises typically enjoy," said Michael Turner, CEO of Alert Logic. "Our solution offers mid-sized businesses a highly effective, affordable solution for IT security, regardless of physical location."

Since its inception in 2002, Alert Logic has quickly grown to include customers across the United States in a variety of industries including finance, oil and gas, healthcare, utilities, education, legal, and state and local government.
