Company News: PKWARE® Announces International Channel Partnership with Vistorm™

PKWARE has signed a channel partnership agreement with Vistorm, an HP company with a complete portfolio of information security services. Vistorm, headquartered in Daresbury, Warrington, United Kingdom, is an information security specialist firm with a history of pioneering solutions that are proven to deliver a measurable reduction in business risk and lower the long-term investment in information security.

Increased business and regulatory demand for data-level security, combined with the growing sophistication of internal and external threats, have accelerated demand for PKWARE’s SecureZIP® multi-platform, data-centric encryption solutions, providing persistent data protection that stays with the data in transit, in the cloud, or at rest. In addition, the need for optimizing data center efficiency has driven demand for PKWARE’s PKZIP® advanced data compression solutions.

“Our partnership with Vistorm will expand the availability of SecureZIP and PKZIP to public and private organizations operating domestically in the U.K. and in international markets,” said Jon Shaw, Managing Director, EMEA for PKWARE. “Vistorm’s commitment to security as an enabler of successful business aligns well with our ability to provide solutions that offer non-disruptive implementation and deployment, as well as centralized encryption management.”

PKWARE’s data security and compression solutions complement many of Vistorm’s Secure Advantage Portfolio of products, including full or whole disk encryption, digital rights management, data leakage prevention (DLP), and transport encryption.

“Every day, we are speaking with customers who need to comply with regulatory mandates and protect Personally Identifiable Information,” said Dan Turner, CTO for Vistorm, an HP company. “They are facing difficult challenges as they work to exchange and secure sensitive information as a necessary part of doing business. We see PKWARE as a perfect fit for addressing these business challenges and the rapidly growing market for data-centric security to ultimately help our customers achieve a measureable reduction in business risk.”

PKWARE’s SecureZIP and PKZIP product families are available immediately through Vistorm.
