PortWise Targets VPNs

STOCKHOLM -- PortWise, Europe’s leading SSL VPN vendor, today announced it has signed a European reseller agreement partnership with Managed Security Solutions Ltd (MSS), specialists in providing secure remote access solutions to enterprise clients across the UK and Europe. The partnership enables UK and European companies to purchase PortWise mobile security solutions from a recognised and trusted local partner. The announcement also strengthens PortWise’s presence in the UK, and supports expansion into additional European markets.

“Our customers have already recognised the benefits of SSL VPN technology in enabling remote access to business applications, and we’ve received a phenomenal amount of interest in this area,” said Tim Chambers, Sales Director, MSS. “By making strategic partnerships with best of breed companies such as PortWise, we will be able to continue to offer our customers the finest remote access solutions and guarantee our place at the forefront of this burgeoning market.”

As part of the contract, MSS will initially resell the PortWise mVPN (mobile secure access) as part of its portfolio, and will also be incorporating PortWise mID (mobile authentication) and mVPN Management Server (mobile authorisation).

“MSS undertook a very thorough evaluation of all SSL VPN solutions in the market before we partnered with PortWise,” added Chambers. “We ran both market and technical surveys of the leading SSL VPN vendors and PortWise came out on top. This was due to the rich technical functionality of the solution and their commercial offering to the European market.”

MSS provides enterprises with integrated, best-of-breed security and remote access solutions to ensure connection to the corporate network regardless of location, access device or technology. As such, they are a perfect fit for PortWise, and the addition of PortWise mVPN technology to their portfolio has enabled MSS to provide a complete end-to-end secure mobile access solution.

“PortWise has a 100 percent channel focus in the UK, and an aggressive channel strategy. Creating relationships with the best channel partners is paramount to our success. We have been very impressed with MSS’ track record and professionalism and we are confident that together we can help organisations benefit from our technology,” said Kaushik Thakkar, Co-Founder and Vice President Strategic Development for PortWise.
