Share:
Lee, MA - November 26, 2007 - Wave Systems Corp. (NASDAQ: WAVX; www.wave.com) today announced it has completed a reseller agreement with Frontline Technologies Corporation Ltd., a leading IT Services provider in Asia. Under this agreement Frontline is authorized to market and sell Wave's line of client and server software solutions in the greater Asia Pacific region, as well as advise its clients on the uses of those solutions to strengthen data protection, strong authentication and network access control throughout the client's enterprise.
Frontline has a strong Pan-Asian presence with footprints in nine countries and more than 65 cities in the region.
"Today, many of our customers are seeking to strengthen their security systems by implementing stronger authentication, data protection measures and better network access control solutions," said Wong Wai Meng, managing director of Frontline. "With trusted security hardware becoming a common feature on enterprise-class PCs, our partnership with Wave will enable us to offer our customers industry-leading trusted computing software solutions to address their most pressing security concerns."
Wave's EMBASSY client and server software leverages the security features of the Trusted Platform Module (TPM), an open standards security chip that serves as a tamper-resistant storage vault for user credentials. By leveraging Wave's software plus the TPM, enterprises can immediately roll out strong authentication, including machine, biometric and smart card authentication, as well as institute stronger network policies, key management and data protection. In addition, Wave provides management capabilities for fully encrypting hard drives, a hardware-based security system now available on many enterprise class notebook computers, to enable password setup and recovery, pre-boot authentication, remote deployment and lifecycle management. Using the automated compliance auditing features of Wave's enterprise server class software, IT departments can document that all data on a lost or stolen laptop was stored safely on the drive.
"Frontline's expertise in enterprise-class IT services, support infrastructure and their significant regional presence makes them an ideal partner to help Wave expand its presence in the Asia Pacific region," observed Richard Shuck, Wave's vice president, Asia sales and marketing. "Their high-touch, end-to-end approach to deployment can add immediate value to IT customers' security solutions requirements with Wave enterprise class software."
