Senforce and Fortress Announce Wireless Security Alliance

Government Organizations and Businesses Gain Best-of-Breed Security Solutions for Mobile and Wireless Systems

Senforce Technologies Inc., the leader in location-aware enterprise endpoint security, and Fortress Technologies, the leader in security for wireless networks, today announced a progressive alliance that will allow customers to deploy secure wireless networks quickly and easily. The agreement includes joint sales, marketing, channel development and product development initiatives focused on integrating wireless network and endpoint security.

Through this customer-driven alliance, IT managers can now deploy fully integrated, interoperable best-of-breed security solutions from Senforce and Fortress. The two companies expect several vertical markets -- including government, healthcare and financial services -- to benefit greatly from this joint initiative.

"Organizations' wireless networks are under constant attack from would-be hackers and probing eyes," said Senforce Senior Director of Business Development, Brian McElroy. "We are giving IT managers peace of mind and making their jobs easier. Senforce and Fortress together deliver comprehensive security solutions that are fully proven and tested."

"Security concerns and regulatory compliance issues have plagued organizations that are evaluating or deploying wireless networks," added Fortress Vice President of Business Development, John Dow. "By embracing our combined solutions, IT managers can be confident that their data and wireless networks are secure."

Details of the Security Solution

Fortress' security gateway enables enterprises to vastly improve the integrity and privacy of their wireless infrastructure. Complementing Fortress' strengths, Senforce's flagship product, Enterprise Mobile Security Manager (EMSM), provides powerful features for creating, deploying, enforcing and monitoring security policies on endpoints across the enterprise.

The Senforce and Fortress solutions are interoperable and compatible with key standards, including FIPS. Together, the products make it easy for customers to implement strong privacy, authentication, access control and endpoint security without scouring the market for multiple solutions, many of which are not integrated. In a typical customer scenario, Senforce's software will enforce security policies by location (for instance, at a remote enterprise campus conference room), while the Fortress gateway ensures that only authorized users can access requested network resources.

By design, Fortress offers Three-Factor Authentication, which protects enterprises at the network, device and user levels in a single, centrally managed infrastructure appliance. Meanwhile, Senforce automates policy compliance -- pushing out policies to all clients or endpoints, enforcing them, and collecting compliance-related information.

The combined solution is available today and deployed in customer networks. For pricing information, contact either Senforce at 877-844-5430 or Fortress at 813-288-7388. For general product information, please visit www.senforce.com or www.fortresstech.com.
