SecureData, a member of the JSE-listed ERP.com Group, today announced that it has been appointed the sole southern African distributor for Application Security Inc (AppSecInc).
"We are continually seeking to identify new 'world-class' and complementary products for our extensive portfolio of information security solutions," commented Dean Brazier, MD of SecureData. "Application Security fulfils all the criteria we seek in a new relationship and thus we look forward to a long and mutually beneficial future with them."
"Ensuring the integrity of the database is critical for uninterrupted business operations," added Sean Price, VP of sales at Application Security Inc. "Without solutions specifically designed to secure data at source, enterprises are vulnerable to external and internal attacks that can abruptly halt business operations, compromise confidential information, and severely damage corporate assets.
"Traditional security offerings, built for and deployed at the network and operating system levels, are no longer enough in defending against dynamic threats to the application. We look forward to working with SecureData to further our joint business efforts in southern Africa."
AppSecInc offers an evolving suite of database security solutions for the enterprise:
* AppDetective, AppSecInc's flagship product, is a database vulnerability assessment solution that arms security teams with the tools they need to secure specific databases against external, internal and automated attacks before those attacks occur.
* AppRadar, a real-time intrusion detection and security auditing solution designed for the database that protects against attacks and malicious behaviour and complements existing intrusion detection systems.
* DbEncrypt, the only column-level encryption product on the market, allows users to select which sensitive data to protect.
AppSecInc, AppDetective, AppRadar and DbEncrypt are trademarks of Application Security, Inc. All other company and product names are trademarks of their respective companies.
