DeepNines and igxglobal Join Forces to Provide More Secure Networks for Enterprises

DALLAS, TEXAS - The world of network security can be pretty volatile, but DeepNines Technologies and igxglobal are now working together to provide a new layer of security to support stabilized integrity for organization networks. In an industry where until now there has been little attention or focus on securing the router, DeepNines, developer of a security platform that operates where others can't ­ in front of the router, and igxglobal, a recognized leader in the security market, have formed an alliance to increase the effectiveness of security solutions.

"When a company like igxglobal decides to build a partnership with you, you know that what you've got ­ in this case, the DeepNines Security Platform ­ is something that's tough, secure and going to make a real difference in the world of network security," said DeepNines vice president of sales Randy Schirman. "igxglobal is an extremely solid company with a lot of respect in the security industry. By joining with DeepNines, they'll be offering a gilt-edge solution that creates a new layer of edge protection for routers and the networks they serve. Ultimately, igxglobal's customers will benefit from stronger security solutions."

By providing the DeepNines Security Edge Platform as part of its security offerings, igxglobal will be able to offer its customers a new level of security. For the first time, igxglobal will provide security offerings that operate in front of the router. The DeepNines Security Edge Platform also will serve as a security architecture upon which igxglobal will build new services.

"Making the DeepNines Security Edge Platform available to our customers is keeping with igxglobal's commitment to provide the best possible security solutions as close to the network points of entry as possible," said igxglobal Founder and CTO Babak Pasdar. "The DeepNines approach to protecting networks from the edge router is not only unique, it's highly effective and our customers deserve that level of protection."
