Says Ingrid Reimsch"ussel, Director Marketing at Biodata IT: "The Aladdin product suite allows us to complement an already extensive line-up of security solutions with its USB-based eToken authentication products, as well as its eSafe solutions. In addition, the Aladdin product suite includes content security, which is an essential part of a complete security solution."
Aladdin specialises in the delivery of software DRM, USB-based authentication, and secure Web gateways to more than 30 000 customers worldwide. The product range includes eToken, a USB-based authentication solution; eSafe, a secure Web gateway that provides protection against the latest Web-based threats and attacks; and HASP, which is currently one of the top choices of software, used by software developers and publishers to protect Intellectual Property, increase revenue and reduce losses from software piracy.
eSafe
Aladdin eSafe protects against Web-based malware and zero-day threats through an in-line, wire-speed secure Web gateway, featuring powerful anti-spyware, application level controls, and URL filtering.
eSafe also controls spam and inspects SMTP and POP3 traffic through a proactive e-mail security gateway.
eToken Aladdin eToken is the world leader for USB-based authentication solutions. eToken provides strong user authentication and cost-effective password management solutions, enabling secure network access, improved data security through enhanced encryption and digital signing, as well as compliance with a wide range of regulatory requirements worldwide.
"With a worldwide network of offices in 14 international locations and a concrete customer base, we saw Aladdin as a logical partner for Biodata. It is important to us that the partner technology we select is supported by well known and reputable global organisations, and not fly-by-night technology partners who could leave our customers in the dark should they stop supporting the technology," adds Reimsch"ussel.
Biodata IT partners, resellers and customers will have access to the Aladdin product suite with immediate effect.
