EMEA Market Growth, New European Privacy Laws Make Apani's EpiForce Ideal Solution for Securing Inside the Network Perimeter
BREA, Calif., April 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Apani Networks, the leading enterprise network security software provider focused on securing inside the network perimeter today announced it has opened a European office. Based in London, Allen Wise will serve as Apani's regional Director, responsible for expanding it's channel partnerships, developing strategic alliances and managing marketing and technical support for customers in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
Mr. Wise brings more than 20 years of experience in opening and developing European channel and direct operations for U.S.-based technology companies. Before joining Apani, Wise was a founder of DRM specialists InGenious Corporation and Network Management Services. He has held senior and regional management positions within Lucent, Avaya, Prominet and NAT.
"Following the very successful U.S. launch of EpiForce, the European corporate sector has demonstrated strong demand for cost-effective solutions to secure sensitive data held within the network perimeter, without affecting or changing the existing infrastructure," said Wise. "EpiForce provides centralised control and automated enforcement of an organisation's security policies, making it easy to manage and maintain. It will be a perfect fit for our European partners and clients."
Wise will also focus on expanding the Apani Armour reseller program to qualified EMEA channel partners, providing extensive online and onsite reseller training with full access to sales, marketing and technical resources. This partnership program will include a complete lead generation and e-marketing program.
"With an increasing concern over data theft and the new privacy regulations now being enforced in Europe, Allen is well-positioned to market EpiForce throughout EMEA," said Michelle Tack, vice president of worldwide sales, Apani Networks.
According to the World Information and Technology Services Alliance (WITSA), IT spending in the EMEA region is forecast to achieve more than $1 trillion in sales by next year at a compounded growth rate of more than 7.5 percent annually. The WITSA reports that the fastest growth, more than 10 percent annually, will come from new economies in Eastern Europe.
About EpiForce
Apani EpiForce is an enterprise scale, endpoint-to-endpoint security system that protects data on multiple levels -- using encryption, authentication and authorization. Data in motion is encrypted between every node on the network, machine-level access control enforcement and central management of the network security relationships -- automatically and dynamically -- allows EpiForce to protect data wherever it resides. This shifts the focus to the security of the data itself rather than on the importance of the perimeter. EpiForce works across heterogeneous environments and operates at the network layer, making it transparent to the application and to the end-user.
Apani's EpiForce is designed for large distributed deployments to secure data-in-motion and protect data-at-rest. EpiForce enforces security relationships, reports on all attempted unauthorized activity, logically segments the network for defense-in-depth, and provides an effective audit trail to reduce the overall cost of compliance audits.
