Pointsec, the global leader and provider of the de facto standard for enterprise security software for laptop and desktop PCs, PDAs and smartphones, today announced it has renewed its distribution agreement for the African market with Condyn, an independent distributor specialised in information security products and services.
Pointsec`s system-wide encryption software and access control for wireless devices ensure that data remains confidential even if a device is lost or stolen.
Its exclusive "on-the-fly" encryption method ensures that encryption is performed according to an organisation`s security policies without requiring action on the part of end-users and results in virtually no performance difference for the device. Pointsec offers the widest range of encryption coverage in the industry with support for Windows-based laptops and desktops, Linux-based systems, removable storage media such as USB sticks and CDs, and a popular wireless handhelds on the Microsoft, Symbian and Palm operating systems.
"We are delighted to renew our partnership with Condyn, as we know them to be a highly qualified and experienced security partner for the African market," said Martin Allen, Managing Director, Pointsec Mobile Technologies Ltd.
"Pointsec is a critical building block in the Condyn Security Framework, and we are happy to expand our relationship with this global leader into new areas of security," noted Stuart Winter, Sales Director at Condyn. "With our focus on delivering end-to-end integrated security solutions for customers both large and small, including message security, push mail, forensic archiving, compliance and risk management, `end point` device security is a critical consideration in any complete offering, as staff increasingly take confidential data out of the organisation on mobile devices. Pointsec is the world`s best solution for encrypting devices to prevent access to information if devices are stolen, lost or sold without proper clean-up. As part of Condyn`s end point suite, which includes Securewave and ISS, Condyn offers the most comprehensive security solution set in Africa."
The most widely and fastest deployed data protection solution, Pointsec offers more and higher industry certifications than any competitive solution, innovative centralised management and offers the lowest total cost of ownership.
