Securing local content with a world class solution

All Internet content you read, send and receive carries a risk. Without safeguards in place, these risks flow freely through Internet, e-mail and P2P applications. In order to fully protect corporate networks, companies need a total filtering solution that protects them from the broad spectrum of content security threats to productivity, network bandwidth and security as well as potential legal liabilities from inappropriate or illegal content. Hence the need for SurfControl's secure content management product line.

"The solution set from SurfControl can play a key business role in intelligently filtering unwanted content from entering an organization. Today, corporate customers around the world rely on SurfControl's solutions to protect their information and infrastructure, comply with legal and regulatory requirements, and improve employee productivity," said Keith Rich, Managing Director, OnLine Distribution Ltd. "It's taken SurfControl just four years to become the global market leader in Web and e-mail filtering and OnLine Distribution is proud to be a part of this endeavor, and is fully committed to it."

Firewall, encryption and passwords alone cannot protect an enterprise. These asset vulnerabilities represent a massive cost to organisations each year. Only SurfControl offers a total filtering solution, a multi layered defense in the fight against content risks. SurfControl's Web, e-mail and Instant Message filters allow one to monitor management policy in order to handle specific risks faced by an organisation and stop unwanted content at the company's virtual border.

OnLine Distribution, operating in the channel space, will identify key partners to take the benefits of SurfControl's products to the marketplace, building requisite skill sets in the channel community and providing them with sales and marketing resources to drive business. This is in addition to the traditional role of logistical support.

"SurfControl delivers on its promise to help companies 'stop unwanted content' in the workplace by continuous innovation, invention and expansion of its filtering products to address new content risks as they emerge. The company is the leader in the content security market, a significant sub sector of the secure content management market, a market that is expected to reach $6.5 billion in 2007. SurfControl is the only company in the security market offering a total content security solution that combines Web, e-mail (including anti-spam and anti-virus) and Instant Message filters with the industry's largest, most accurate and relevant content database and adaptive reasoning tools to automate content recognition," highlighted Simon Moxham, Sales Manager for SurfControl, Middle East and North Africa.

"OnLine's channel network covers the entire Middle East region, with a focus on enterprise networking," said David Allinson, Divisional Director, OnLine Distribution. "With our strong network of existing partners, and our ability to develop new channels for new vendors, we are continually looking to enhance our range of technology offerings. This keeps us in tune with the needs of the market and presents our partners with new business opportunities."
