London, UK - April 21, 2009 - FaceTime
Communications has teamed up with Bletchley Park to offer free
annual passes to all attendees of FaceTime's seminars in the
Business Theatre at Infosecurity Europe this year. In addition,
visitors can see one of the famous Enigma machines on FaceTime's
stand.
"The way Bletchley Park worked during the war, segregating
workers through the hut system, is a great analogy of how FaceTime
gives organisations Web 2.0 and application control," says Nick
Sears, VP EMEA of FaceTime Communications. "Social networking sites
and real time applications definitely have a place in today's
businesses, but that shouldn't mean losing control. In the same way
that Bletchley Park segregated their experts into individual huts
on a need to know basis, so our USG web security gateway controls
and secures Web 2.0 applications in a similar way."
As proof that social networking sites can be a successful method
for organisations to communicate, Bletchley Park recently triumphed
once again by using Twitter and Facebook to drive public support
and voters to help win the prestigious Wickes Building with Pride
Award.
"It's remarkable that seventy years on, the principles used and
techniques invented at Bletchley Park are still being used in the
work of modern electronic communications," says Simon Greenish, CEO
of the Bletchley Park Trust. "Bletchley Park always strives to work
closely with innovative companies as shown in the Bletchley Park
Science and Innovation Centre, and is pleased to be working with
FaceTime for this event and grateful for their support."
Once Britain's best kept secret, Bletchley Park is the historic
site of codebreaking activities during WWII and the birthplace of
the modern computer. However, the secrecy that had been so
essential to its success during the war meant that by the time the
public become aware of the Park's wartime and technological
significance, the buildings, including the famous huts, were almost
lost. For every person that attends either a FaceTime seminar or
visits the stand for a product demo, FaceTime will donate £10 to
Bletchley Park to help keep this important legacy running for
future generations.
