help AG in Dubai Achieves Symantec Specializations

help AG, an information security consulting specialist in the Middle East,
announced that it has further strengthened its relationship with Symantec Corporation
by achieving three specializations in the areas of Data Loss Prevention,
Encryption and IT Compliance.

"We are extremely proud
to be Symantec’s only Value Added Reseller in the GCC to be specialized in all
three technology areas of Data Loss Prevention, Encryption and IT Compliance",
said Mr. Stephan Berner, Managing Director at help AG. "The criteria for these specializations
placed our skill sets under close scrutiny and have required a significant
investment but the certifications offer several strategic advantages which will
enable us to further strengthen our dominant position in the security market."

Through this achievement, help AG has demonstrated an investment and expertise
across all three specializations of IT Compliance, Data Loss Prevention and
Encryption and can now better help their customers address the stringent
privacy and compliance regulations they face by providing solutions that meet
the challenges of data protection and reporting. The IT Compliance
specialization means that help AG can help customers achieve compliance
capability while Symantec’s Data Loss Prevention solutions help ensure that
their customers’ internal, confidential data stays safe.

"Symantec Specializations
recognize partners’ investment in Symantec and reward their expertise in
Symantec technology," said Ramzi Itani, Director, Channel &
Alliances at Symantec. "Specialized
partners have demonstrated a deep investment in Symantec and an expertise in
delivering solutions and services that protect the customers’ most critical
information."

Symantec Specializations, which recognize partners with an expertise in a
particular area of business, provide partners with the skills and experience
required to deliver differentiating service to their customers. Symantec
partners achieve specialization by meeting certain requirements that deepen
their knowledge and proficiency in a solution family.
