Code Green Networks

Code Green Networks was a privately held enterprise security company established in Sunnyvale, California, in 2004. The firm specialized in Data Loss Prevention (DLP) solutions, offering products to help enterprises protect and manage sensitive digital information.

The company's core offering was the TrueDLP™ solution, an appliance-based product that provided Network DLP, Discovery DLP, and Cloud DLP. This system was designed to locate sensitive data on databases, network servers, and in the cloud. It utilized a content inspection engine that combined keywords, regular expressions, patterns, and fingerprinting to identify confidential content across various channels like webmail, email, and FTP transfers. The TrueDLP suite included the CI Appliance for network traffic scanning and policy enforcement, and an optional CI Agent for monitoring endpoints like workstations. The entire system was managed through a centralized console, simplifying policy management and incident reporting for enterprises.

Code Green Networks positioned itself as an affordable and user-friendly solution in the content-aware DLP market, a point noted by industry analysts at Gartner. A key milestone for the company was its acquisition by Digital Guardian, an endpoint security platform, on October 6, 2015. The financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. This acquisition was a strategic move for Digital Guardian to integrate Code Green's network, cloud, and discovery DLP capabilities into its existing endpoint security platform. The combination aimed to provide a comprehensive data protection solution, managed from a single console, to protect data across endpoints, networks, and the cloud from both insider and external threats.
