Symark Software Expands Channel Network to Meet Increasing Global Demand

(Oct 03, 2007)-- Symark Software, provider of information security solutions for managing privileged account access,  announced a dramatic expansion of its international Remarketers reseller network over the past 12 months. With the addition of resellers in countries such as Argentina, Japan, Mexico and South Korea, Symark has significantly increased its reach and global footprint. The expansion comes as a result of increasing demand for Symark's best-of-breed solutions for protecting against privileged-user abuse and other insider threats as well as supporting compliance laws.

"With the recent increase of internal and external security breaches--as well as strict government compliance requirements including Sarbanes-Oxley, Basel II, KontraG and the Data Privacy Protection Act (DPA)--proper identity management and access control solutions have become essential security tools," said Robert H. Farber, chief operating officer at Symark Software. "According to the IT Policy Compliance Group, 90 percent of companies fail compliance audits because most do not have sufficient policies in place to meet data governance regulations or to adequately limit the risk of a data leak or breach. This problem is real and companies of all sizes need the proper identity and access control technologies in place to protect vital data and demonstrate compliance."

"Symark is the only identity and access management provider we work with because Symark's PowerSeries(R) products provide unmatched value in the market," said Tokiko Takashima, director of Global Software Network, a Symark Remarketer in Japan. "In addition, the company provides us with excellent, 24/7 support and a consistent revenue stream, making Symark a valuable partner."

Symark Software's family of identity and access management products--including PowerBroker(R), PowerPassword(R), PowerKeeper(R)--enable administrators to manage and secure their heterogeneous IT environment and maintain regulatory compliance by addressing the inherent security gaps in native UNIX, Linux and Windows operating systems as well as any lax "privileged" user security practices. Symark provides policy-driven, granular privileged access control solutions that not only plug vulnerabilities, but also create and enforce security best practices. Symark Software's offerings take the cost and complexity out of addressing these challenges by equipping organizations with a complete solution for controlling access to information and systems across a heterogeneous environment while also demonstrating compliance.

"Symark has proven to be the ideal vendor partner across the board--from delivering innovative, well-designed identity management solutions that meet the security requirements of users worldwide, to offering one of the most comprehensive channel programs in the industry to simply having great people on staff who help us with every question and concern we have," said Mario Cammisa, president of Grupo SI, a Symark Remarketer in Argentina.

Through Symark's Remarketer reseller program, partners are able to offer their clients best-of-breed, highly-scalable compliance and internal security products from an established company that has deployed its products around the world. Symark forwards pre-qualified leads to its partners to facilitate growth and drive new and consistent revenue. The company also assists its partners as they demonstrate the company's products to prospects. Symark also provides its Remarketers with technical training at its corporate office near Los Angeles in Agoura Hills, Calif. for certification on its products.
