Friday, May 29th, 2009
Still think Symantec is the safe choice?

It makes sense. Keeping your security solution constantly updated helps protect your business from the latest viruses, spam and other threats.

  •   Provides instant protection—with automatic updates that won’t interfere with PC operation or network performance
  •   Stops viruses, spam and threats from the Web—before they reach your business
  •   Performs dramatically faster—while using 33% less PC memory
 
Switch to Trend Micro today to get the immediate, up-to-the-minute protection you need—without interfering with your business.
 
Here's the proof

McAfee Purchases Secure Computing

Thursday, May 28th, 2009

Securecomputing is now Mcafee

Securecomputing is now Mcafee

McAfee, in a bid to decisively round out its network security product portto purchase San Jose, Calif.-based Secure Computing for about $465 million.

Vimal Solanki, vice president of worldwide solutions marketing at McAfee, says the Secure deal will help McAfee to offer a “complete network security offering,” a term that McAfee uses to describe the potpourri of intrusion prevention, firewall, Web security, email security, data protection, and network access control technologies.

Secure’s focus on Web and network security complements McAfee’s strong endpoint security technologies, and the fact that both companies do more than 90 percent of their business through channel partners is another area of common ground between the two vendors, according to Solanki.

The deal, if approved, will create a powerhouse with combined network security revenue of $500 million, and would add 2,000 solution providers to McAfee’s existing global channel partner base of 12,000, Solanki added.

Secure’s TrustedSource in-the-cloud security intelligence technology meshes well with McAfee’s Artemis technology, a cloud offering that provides realtime protection from threats, Solanki said.

Steven Palange, president of security solution provider TLIC Worldwide, Wakefield, R.I., sees the deal as a welcome boost to McAfee’s portfolio, one that will be most apparent in areas like Web filtering, firewall, and the Secure Mail (formerly Ironmail) line of email security appliances.

“They’re going to use Secure to plug some of their holes, and that’s likely to work out well, since Secure fits well into McAfee’s existing line of products with very little overlap,” Palange said.

However, one security solution provider wasn’t surprised by the news, and considers Secure to be a vendor of steadily diminishing importance in the security market.

“Secure was pretty much dead in the water and wasn’t going anywhere — we almost never come across Secure’s products,” said the source, who requested anonymity.

Marketing and Communication

Marketing Your Business

Marketing Your Business

I read this somewhere, makes sense I guess.

Keep in contact with your clients and vendors by sending articles you have written or that would be of interest to them. Add a little “How are you?” note to these people and keep the lines of communication open. Include current information about any new value-added products or services, such as a newsletter, or tele-class you will be presenting.

Marketing doesn’t have to be expensive. You just have to do it.

Communication and relationship are the keys to marketing. Attending numerous networking meetings may be worthwhile to some, but that strategy doesn’t work for everyone because, as someone once told me, the people who love you will always refer business to you.

The people who are your advocates or supporters are the ones who require nurturing. Send them an e-mail, e-zine, note, or article at least once a month.
