Palisade Systems Extends Channel Sales Program to Include Security and Networking OEMs


OEMs can now provide PacketSure Information Leak Prevention Technology as an Integrated Component of their Security Suite

AMES, Iowa, Jan. 9 -- Palisade Systems, a leading provider of content and network security appliances, announced today that it's extending its channel sales program to include Security and Networking OEMs. This move enables OEMs to provide a "private labeled" version of the PacketSure Information Leak Prevention product as a bundled component of their security product offering.

The PacketSure appliance, built using patented technology, is the only single-product solution for auditing, blocking, encrypting, and reporting of sensitive data for small to large size enterprises within the information leak prevention market. PacketSure blocks content on more than 150 network communication protocols. PacketSure provides capability for organizations looking to prevent identity theft and Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) enforcement and to detect credit card and account numbers traveling over any unsecured network protocol.

"Extending our channel program to include OEMs will allow us to scale more quickly to meet the needs of our growing client base and to penetrate newer markets with the type of comprehensive solution that enterprise and fortune 500 clients are demanding," said Kurt Shedenhelm, president and CEO of Palisade Systems. "Information leak prevention should be an integral part of all network security deployments, not just an add-on that is provided after the fact. According to analyst reports, our new market will grow from around $50 million in 2006 to over $1.9 billion in less than three years, which is why an OEM channel program is essential to accommodate that sharp growth curve."

Solutions to Blocking Network Protocols

Palisade is the only content monitoring and filtering vendor that exists in the world capable of not only monitoring these protocols, but also blocking their use and delivery of information to the receiver. Content monitoring and filtering products are a breed of emerging technology that specifically focuses resources on the applications and protocols responsible for the delivery of outbound communication, instead of most network security products that prevent inbound security threats like viruses, spyware, worms, DoS attacks, etc.

Stopping Internal Threats Before They Wreak Havoc

Palisade Systems offers its business partners and customers multiple network appliances to proactively enforce corporate governance and acceptable network use policies (AUP), ensure regulatory compliance enforcement, and stop confidential information leaks and delivery of inappropriate material. The company's suite of products, including PacketSure and PacketGuard, provide increased levels of network security beyond existing firewalls and filters. PacketSure is a gateway security appliance that identifies and stops intellectual property, sensitive content and inappropriate material before it can leave an organization's network. PacketGuard is an internal security appliance that manages and stops intellectual property and content from being illegally shared or viewed by unauthorized internal users.
