WinMagic Partners With Vbsoft

WinMagic, Inc.
has partnered with VBSOFT Ltd, an Indian managed service
provider, to meet the demand for its full-disk encryption (FDE) technology in
India.

The partnership will strengthen WinMagic’s presence and further promote its
suite of encryption solutions in the growing Indian market.

This new partnership will enable VBSOFT to add WinMagic’s encryption
solutions to its portfolio of managed
solutions. This includes the newly-launched SecureDoc with PBConnex, a
full-disk encryption solution with pre-boot networking.

PBConnex,
an extension to SecureDoc, integrates network support within the
pre-boot environment to make it simpler to authenticate
users, enforce access controls and manage end-point devices prior to the
operating system loading – eliminating the user, deployment and system
management headaches previously associated with endpoint encryption.

"VBSOFT is always
searching to find the very best solutions to add to our ‘best-of-breed’
portfolio of products so that we can provide unbeatable technology and value to
our customers, and so we are extremely pleased to announce that this
partnership with WinMagic will enable us to provide our customers with the best
and most innovative data protection available today," said Vivek Ogra,
Director – Technology and Innovation, VBSOFT. "The only way to ensure all data is protected is to ensure all data is
encrypted, and WinMagic makes deploying, managing and using an encrypted device
just as simple as an unencrypted device."

"Protecting all data is
critical for any organization, its partners and its clients, but unfortunately,
most organizations have been reticent about embracing full-disk encryption
because it has traditionally made networks less productive due to inherent
management and user difficulties," said Thi Nguyen-Huu, CEO of WinMagic. "WinMagic is now searching the
globe for service providers that have the expert IT skills, excellent customer
service reputation and local market knowledge to make it simple for
organizations worldwide to purchase, install and deploy our encryption technology
– and VBSOFT meets all our criteria for India."
