Code Green Networks Expands European Channel by Signing on Tekdata Distribution and Internet Security AG

 

SANTA CLARA, Calif. – December 13, 2006 – Code Green Networks, a leading developer of solutions for protecting customer data and intellectual property, today announced it has signed distribution agreements with Tekdata Distribution (UK) and Internet Security AG (Switzerland, Austria and Eastern Europe), a division of DNS International, to expand the channel for its Content Inspection Appliance in Europe.

“Each of these distributors is uniquely positioned to reach our target customers, and each plays a key role in our overall channel strategy,” said Sreekanth Ravi, Founder, Chairman and CEO at Code Green Networks. “These distribution agreements are driven by the strong demand from businesses and government agencies of all sizes in the European market for reliable anti-data-leakage solutions.”

The Code Green Networks Content Inspection Appliance protects sensitive information, such as customer data and intellectual property, against unauthorized disclosure. Using patent-pending technology and residing at a company’s Internet gateway, it monitors and analyzes content on the corporate network and automatically enforces content protection policies. If it detects the unauthorized transmission of sensitive information, it invokes a management-defined policy to log, alert and/or block the transmission.

“Earlier this year, the European Commission issued a report that calls for greater education on IT security, and improved best practices for data security,” said Paul Karrer, CEO at Internet Security AG. “Due to this, as well as other privacy legislation, our customers are receiving increasing requests for reliable content protection solutions, and we are pleased that we can now direct them to the Code Green Networks Content Inspection Appliance.”

Code Green Networks provides complete protection in a cost-effective, easy-to-use appliance. Once it is plugged in, policies may be defined using a simple Web-based interface, and automatic monitoring begins immediately.

“While security is a top priority for the IT customers we ultimately serve, they look for reliable products that are easy to install and maintain, and that do not hinder their ability to do their jobs,” said Ken Hulme, CEO at Tekdata. “The Code Green Networks Content Inspection Appliance provides the automation and performance these customers demand, and we are proud to add the system to our offering.”
