Belmont, Calif. - February 6, 2012- Actiance
(www.actiance.com), helping organizations benefit from new forms of
communications and collaboration, today announced its agreement
with specialist security integrator, AltaTek (www.altatek.com). The
relationship expands Actiance's reach into the federal sector,
enabling AltaTek to offer Actiance's portfolio of products to help
organizations manage, secure and ensure compliance across unified
communications, collaboration and Web 2.0 applications such as
blogs, wikis and social networks.
AltaTek has strong reputation within the defense and
intelligence communities for delivering innovative technologies
that enhance the performance and security of complex networks. The
partnership with Actiance supports the growing use of unified
communications (UC) within the federal space and the need to secure
these platforms, while enforcing a centralized corporate policy --
areas that rogue real-time applications attempt to circumvent.
"Our customers' demand for increasingly sophisticated
cybersecurity solutions makes Actiance products of particular
interest," says Seana O'Hare, President and CEO of AltaTek.
"Actiance fills a previously unaddressed gap in the UC and social
networking arena with their award-winning product portfolio,
and its dedicated federal team make them an ideal partner for
AltaTek."
Vantage from Actiance, is the de facto platform for granular
security, policy controls, and compliance features for
real-time and unified communications. Vantage enables the
management of a wide variety of platforms including Microsoft Lync,
IBM Sametime, and Cisco Unified Presence (CUP), alongside public
instant messaging platforms, and web conferencing such as Windows
Live and Skype.
Actiance's Unified Security Gateway (USG), complements Vantage
by preventing the use of other applications that can potentially
bypass security policies and introduce additional risk. USG
provides
granular control of Web 2.0 and social media applications,
monitoring, securing, and recording content, to prevent outbound
data leaks and enable compliance with industry regulations,
eDiscovery requirements, and government policy standards.
"As government departments deploy UC platforms alongside other
communication applications, it creates a complex heterogeneous
environment that requires specialized knowledge and technology to
ensure the organization remains secure," says Howard Klayman,
Federal Program Manager of Actiance. "We're delighted that a
company with AltaTek's experience in the federal sector has chosen
to partner with us and look forward to working closely with
them."
