LG Card Selects Blue Coat to Strengthen Web Security While Increasing Performance28 March 2006
Blue Coat(R) Systems (Nasdaq: BCSI), the leader in secure content and application delivery, today announced that LG Card, the leading credit card company in South Korea, has deployed Blue Coat's SG-Series and AV-Series appliances to protect its corporate network and customer database from spyware, viruses and other security threats and to ensure the privacy and integrity of its data.
LG Card offers installment financing, consumer loans and leasing as well as credit card services to more then 9.8 million cardholders in South Korea. Since protection of its customer database is vital to its operations and reputation, LG Card endeavors to utilize the highest levels of security infrastructure and practices. In the past, its network had experienced several security threats, including spyware and other virus attacks that caused a slow down in overall operations.
"Traditionally, the true cost of security has always been performance, but with Blue Coat we get the highest levels of security along with significant acceleration of content and applications," said IC Jeong, manager of the network operation team for LG Card. "Without impacting transaction performance, we can block spyware and other malware before it has a chance to penetrate the corporate network or individual client and server. We can also protect our customer database with the highest level of security."
"LG Card is a trusted name and company in Korea, and we are happy to provide both the protection and acceleration they needed to maintain the confidence and excellence of operations," said An Seung-Ryong, Country Manager of Blue Coat Korea. "Only a proxy infrastructure has the power to simultaneously control, protect and accelerate Web communications and applications."
