ATLANTA, GA -- 08/04/08 --
nuBridges, Inc., the secure eBusiness
authority, announced today a reseller agreement with Randtronics, a leading
provider of data privacy solutions in Australia and the Asia-Pacific
region. Randtronics will add
nuBridges Protect(TM), an advanced encryption and
key management software solution, to its data security offerings to help
financial institutions, retail merchants, health care providers and others
protect payment card and personally identifiable information (PII) from
theft.
"Organizations around the world are beginning to change the way they think
about data protection, focusing not only on perimeter security but also on
encrypting the data right where it lives in applications, databases and
files. That is one of nuBridges' specialties and we want to accelerate our
geographic presence aggressively by partnering with the best security
providers in each region," said Roy Hogsed, Executive
Vice President of Sales for nuBridges. "We are pleased to be working closely
with Randtronics to provide our data protection solutions to enterprises in
the Asia-Pacific region. Randtronics is well respected and the company
brings a wealth of data security best practice knowledge and technical
expertise to its customers. Their excellent technical staff is proficient
in cross platform environments and knows how to solve even the most
challenging data security problems within any IT infrastructure."
Retail merchants in Australia and other countries in the region are
increasingly taking steps to protect their customers' credit and debit card
numbers from hackers, security breaches, employee theft and accidental
loss. Many are following the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard
(PCI DSS) to ensure consumer data is adequately protected. Other companies
are actively seeking solutions to secure PII to protect customers,
employees and patients from personal information breaches.
"Becoming compliant with the PCI standards is the number one driver of our
customers at the moment. And while Australia's privacy laws do not yet
include the mandatory reporting of data breaches, many companies also want
to be ready when such laws are passed, which could be very soon," said Bob
Adhar, Randtronics' CEO. "nuBridges Protect is the right complement to our
other security solutions and we expect it will help thousands of
enterprises in Australia and the surrounding region to comply with PCI DSS
and any other industry or government security mandate that becomes
effective in the future."
In addition to its headquarters in Australia, Randtronics maintains channel
partners in Australia, China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, India, Philippines,
Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam and is rapidly
expanding into other countries.
