Cygate to provide Stonesoft's security technology
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Highest level of security from leading domestic vendors
Helsinki, Finland - 20 March, 2012 - The network security company Stonesoft and
the system integrator Cygate today announced they have entered a partnership
agreement whereby Cygate will start providing Stonesoft's network security
solutions to companies and public sector organizations.
The importance of security is constantly growing as security threats increase
and become more complex and as cloud services continue to become more widely
adopted. A strong security process requires profound expertise as well as proven
technical solutions. The security solutions and services must seamlessly support
both the security policy and common practices and standards.
"We chose Stonesoft because we want to provide our customers comprehensive
security. We already have 24 certified Stonesoft experts and the ability to
offer 24/7 maintenance and support service. This partnership allows us to
address customers whose requirements are met perfectly by the Stonesoft
technology. Many organizations also appreciate the possibility to get high
quality service from reliable domestic vendors, and Cygate's expertise and
competence are unequaled in this area", says Ilkka Äyräväinen, CEO at Cygate.
"The partnership with Cygate further strengthens our position and
competitiveness in the Finnish market. Cygate is a completely new kind of a
partner to us and can provide customers significant added value. Together we can
build viable security solutions for demanding customer environments and serve
both our current and future customers even better than before", says Juha
Kivikoski, COO at Stonesoft.
Cygate offers security technology to companies and public sector organizations.
The security solutions and services provided by Cygate are scalable from
individual solutions to extensive, systematically (24/7) managed and monitored
entities.
Stonesoft's network security solutions are centrally manageable and ideally
suited for both physical and virtual environments.
