Blue Turtle reinforces Information Protection and Control by joining forces with Secure Islands

Secure Islands, the leading provider of advanced Information Protection and Control (IPC) solutions, today announced that it has signed a partnership agreement with Blue Turtle Technologies, a leading technology management company based in South Africa. The partnership enhances Blue Turtle's data protection offering, allowing it to include next-generation DLP, Data Classification, and IRM solutions into its portfolio of data security services.

Blue Turtle, as Secure Islands reseller in Southern Africa, features Secure Islands' IQProtector, a persistent, active Data Immunisation technology, which offers a unique paradigm that is fundamentally different from other existing solutions: automated, policy-driven classification and protection at the very beginning of the information life cycle. In addition to enhanced data protection, IQProtector intelligently allows organisations to map their information assets to understand where information is created, analyses and classifies the data by multiple configurable criteria including content and context (ie usage, data type, source, user etc.).

"As organisations increasingly turn to the cloud, they now have the opportunity to streamline their entire data management approach with Secure Islands IPC platform," said Justin Arnoldi, Application & Data Manger at Blue Turtle. "The ability to classify and protect data upon creation ensures data integrity without having to tightly control the flow of data. It's a brilliant approach to securing data that will deliver our clients unprecedented peace of mind. We are excited to have Secure Islands as a partner and look forward to introducing their high standards for information protection."

"We are happy to expand our reach in South Africa with a strong partner like Blue Turtle," said Guri Geva, VP Sales EMEA for Secure Islands. "Leading organisations across the globe already embrace our data immunisation technology that makes for true, persistent classification controlled encryption management. Coupled with Blue Turtle's application expertise, we bring our customers a clear added value."
