Commenting on the relationship, Graham Fox, Managing Director of VCW Security, stated, “Zero day threats and managing web 2.0 content has become an hourly challenge for business today. Now more than ever, companies need solutions that can manage and control these rich Internet applications and at the same time manage the risks to the network and bandwidth, to prevent interference with business critical activities. We are seeing considerable channel partner interest in the Network Composer for its blend of visibility, security and control feature set, further building on our current portfolio.”
“We are a company committed to the channel” said Dave Reardon, vice president of sales at Cymphonix. “Our agreement with VCW Security will not only add scalability to our existing partner base, but will also help us gain more exposure to partners that might not be familiar with our company.”
