Cymtec Systems Partners with Kovarus to Expand Distribution

Kovarus Corporation to Market, Distribute and Support Cymtec Systems Product Line

St. Louis, MO. - July 13, 2009 – Cymtec Systems©, a leading provider of products that help companies optimize network performance and fulfill the rigorous audit and compliance standards imposed on today's organizations, today announced a new distribution partnership with Kovarus, a premier technology consulting firm specializing in data center design, implementation, and optimization. This relationship enables both parties to leverage each other's strengths across a wide range of vertical industries, especially those with distributed networked environments and those facing regulatory requirements for data protection and continuity, such as financial services and legal.

Kovarus will now offer Cymtec's flagship product, Cymtec Sentry, to current and prospective clients and recently signed on distinguished international law firm Morrison and Foerster for a worldwide deployment. "we needed a solution that could provide the visibility, enforcement, bandwidth shaping and containment of threats across our entire network at a cost that fit our budget," said Neeraj Rajpal, CIO, Morrison and Foerster. "Kovarus helped us identify Cymtec Sentry as the best tool to better manage, remotely troubleshoot and optimize our remote and branch office network all on one platform."

Known for ease of deployment and simplicity of operation, as well as the industry's lowest Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), Cymtec's plug-and-play product line, including Cymtec Scout© and Cymtec Sentry©, provide traditional Intrusion Detection (IDS), as well as the unique visibility and control necessary to manage today's remote and branch office environments.

"Kovarus strives to present our clients with cost-effective, best-of-breed solutions. Cymtec's product line allows us to fulfill this by offering solutions that seamlessly integrate with the entire enterprise," said Peter Costaldi, Kovarus co-founder and co-principal. "During this critical time of heightened budget sensitivity and continued compliance regulations and security requirements, Cymtec is a welcome addition to our roster of leading products."

"In today's complex and competitive IT marketplace, it is critical to have relationships with only the best strategic partners," said Andrew Rubin, President of Cymtec Systems. "Kovarus' continued success in assisting clients with the most complex network and business strategy planning ensures that Cymtec will be well represented and that our technology will add value to our end-users. We are very excited to partner with the team at Kovarus and look forward to a long and prosperous relationship."
