8e6 Technologies & Bsecure Announce
Integrated Internet Security Collaboration
ORANGE, California and FORT WALTON BEACH, Florida, October 14, 2004 – Florida-based Bsecure Technologies and California-based 8e6 Technologies today announce the beginning of a powerful collaboration aimed at expanding upon the companies’ best-of-breed technologies by providing the first, truly integrated client/server Internet Security solution.
Over the last nine years, privately-held 8e6 Technologies has continually pushed the envelope, providing leading-edge appliance-based Internet security, filtering, reporting and bandwidth prioritization tools for thousands of enterprises worldwide. In the same time, Bsecure grew to provide robust client-based Internet security, filtering, personal firewall, spyware/adware blocking and spam solutions.
"We're pleased to be working closely with Bsecure and to have their years of experience in desktop filtering, antivirus and security solutions" said Paul Myer, 8e6's President and COO. "End point security is an important part of the total security landscape, in particular, for remote and laptop users.”
The collaboration will center on development of the 8e6 mobile solution. The combined solution will offer fully integrated central policy management controls including: content filtering, antivirus, spyware killer, spam blocking, popup killer, identity theft protection, and acceptable use control.
"Our customers came to us with the need to protect the mobile user in the same way we do at the gateway – with a truly integrated solution,” Myer said. “Working with Bsecure gives us one of the best products in the end-point security services space.”
“What sets this collaboration apart is that the technologies on both coasts have been ‘battle-hardened’ by thousands of customers over the last few years,” said BSecure CEO Glen Fradenburg.
Bsecure is highly regarded in the industry for it’s extremely accurate, truly integrated and thin solutions. Offering high-quality phone and web-based support in its state-of-the-art service support center adds to the gravity of the collaboration.
