AUSTIN, Texas, May 10, 2000 (PRIMEZONE) -- Ashley Laurent, a market leader in network security solutions, will extend its licensing agreement with SynData, allowing SynData to resell Ashley Laurent's VPCom client software for use with any Virtual Private Network (VPN) gateway. SynData also will resell Ashley Laurent's VPCom Gateway, the standard and enterprise edition.
"Ashley Laurent is a well known and respected player in the VPN technology space. By integrating its VPCom VPN Client technology with SynData's easy-to-use Client and Profile Admin Console along with the SynCript Secure(tm) Client Suite, companies will get a complete privacy solution that is easy to administer for desktop services. Ashley Laurent had originally licensed this technology to SynData for Cisco's environment and it has worked out so successfully, we are expanding the agreement to all other IPSec compatible vendors, " said David Romanoff, president and chief executive officer of SynData.
Ashley Laurent is a leading Internet Protocol (IP) Security VPN OEM software provider. Its client software focuses on high quality and reliability, end user simplification, simplified deployment, and extensive IP Security compatibility.
"Many vendors are looking to outsource the deployment and delivery of secure Internet services. SynData's optimized version of the VPCom Client software product for IPSec compatible environments allows them to lower costs and reduce the amount of technical staff required to deploy and maintain remote access VPN solutions," said Jeffrey Goodwin, CEO of Ashley Laurent. "And merging SynData's technology into the solution lets users protect files and email not only in transport but outside the VPN."
