Leading European Internet Security and Intelligence Management Company Takes First Step Toward Global Expansion
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 27, 2006 -- IntelligenceFocus (IF), headquartered in Turin, Italy, announced today that the company has opened offices in the United States as the first step of an aggressive global expansion. Already established as a leader in the European market, IF will now offer its cutting-edge intelligence management technology to leading private and public sector organizations throughout North America.
Maurizio Attisani, IF Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer, said, "This is an exciting and important step for us, as we build upon our success in the European market and take our company global. The US market represents an enormous opportunity to provide solutions to pressing needs in security, compliance and process optimization for both enterprise and government. Our ability to instantaneously convert live network flows into usable intelligence is unprecedented in its capacity to allow process owners to better understand and optimize their operations as well as to protect them against ever evolving threats."
U.S. headquarters are based in Providence, Rhode Island with a West Coast sales office in San Francisco, California.
Significant business development and sales activity has already begun with early success. Specifically, VAR and partnership agreements have been signed with several large American technology solution providers and system integrators.
IntelligenceFocus USA Launches at US Symposiums
IF recently showcased its technology at the 3rd Annual American Banker's Identity Theft & Fraud Symposium in San Francisco and also at the 2006 NW3C Economic Crime Summit in Providence R.I.
"We specifically chose banking and economic crime symposia for our initial entrance into the U.S., as these are two areas where we have already achieved great success in Europe," said Attisani. "The U.S. Banking and Economic Crime Prevention sectors are a natural fit for our innovative and unparalleled intelligence management solutions."
Joshua Gold, Vice President of Corporate Development, will lead the US initiative in conjunction with IF co-founder and CEO, Maurizio Attisani. Joshua brings eight years of experience to IF having provided legal and business development consulting to technology companies worldwide.
Joshua is charged with building the US team and developing strategic partnerships with value added resellers, Internet and managed service providers, and system integrators in IF's targeted vertical markets.
