Press Release
FaceTime Signs-up Singapore Distributor Infosec Pacific
READING, UK - July 15, 2009 - FaceTime Communications announced today
that it has signed an agreement with InfoSec Pacific (www.infosec-pacific.com)
that enables the value add distributor to offer FaceTime's products throughout
Singapore. Working together the two companies will expand FaceTime's presence
in Singapore and build upon the successes already achieved in the region.
InfoSec has a strong presence in the financial sector and other heavily
regulated industries, in addition to several Government contracts. This focus
fits well with FaceTime's award-winning products that enable the safe and
productive use of instant messaging, Web 2.0 applications and Unified
Communications platforms, whilst providing compliance to global regulations on
the highest level.
"We chose to work with FaceTime because no other vendor could provide
protection against the vast number of web applications now available to the
average user," says Lionel Loh, Regional Business Development of InfoSec
Pacific. "Social Networking sites such as Facebook, which has over 20,000
widgets that all need to be regulated and controlled, only complicate the issue
even further. Finding a partner that could offer comprehensive protection
against the threats of the new internet was a key requirement."
As an authorised distributor, Infosec will receive product and marketing
support from FaceTime in addition to product training, enabling the distributor
to provide first line support to its resellers. It is envisaged that the
partnership between the two companies will allow FaceTime to expand its
presence throughout Singapore, whilst enabling Infosec to take advantage of a
growing market.
"As more businesses become aware of the threats from their employees use of
applications such as Instant Messaging, P2P, IPTV and social networking sites,
so does the realisation that traditional web security technologies are not able
to offer the protection they once afforded," says Nicholas Tay, Asia Pacific
Regional Manager, FaceTime Communications. "Working together with Infosec, we
will be able help companies not only gain visibility of these applications, but
provide complete control and auditing facilities too."
