SecureData, the exclusive distributors of Trend Micro, a leading provider of Internet content security, is pleased to announce the launch of SecureData Channel. The official launch will take place at Gallagher Estate, Midrand, on the 11 May 2000.
June Lloyd, Channel Manager, SecureData says," The basis of the SecureData Channel lies within a framework of powerful alliances being forged between SecureData and complementary vendors, dealers, VARS, ASP's and ISP's. SecureData Channel aims to provide a full range of technical services and products through these strategic alliances, that will be able to meet the most demanding IT network security requirements."
Particular emphasis will be placed on the development of the e-channel within the SecureData Channel. "Businesses everywhere are starting to sell their products on-line and capitalizing on the efficiencies of web-based communication. Concern about Internet safety has created a robust and growing market for network security products and services," says Lloyd. Virus infected email message attachments and web-based malicious mobile code are no longer a threat of the future, but are actively prevalent here and now. Comprehensive network security is more crucial than ever.
Offering Internet "Virus Wall" and Internet security services, Trend Micro provides centrally controlled, server-based computer virus and malicious code protection. Protecting all possible virus entry points on the network, Trend Micro offers the SecureData Channel partners a complete Internet AntiVirus solution with full technical support and backup. SecureData Channel partners are therefore placed in a highly advantageous position with their clients and are able to offer their clients a value added service that will make our Channel partners leaders in their respective markets.
"Channel partners will be proactively trained and informed about latest Trend developments by SecureData. Stringent procedures have been put in place at SecureData to ensure that Channel partners product and technical support requirements are met, says Lloyd."
