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."
