Based in Boca Raton, Florida, and spun out of IBM, 14 South Networks
is a new intranet security startup focused on corporate network server
security. The Company manufactures and markets hardware and software
for intranet security. 14 South Networks is credited with developing
the first standard-based embedded security platform which operates
autonomously within any industry-standard PCI-based server - enabling
servers, for the first time, to be individually secured or locked from
malicious targeted attacks that bypass corporate firewall protection.

Cenetec Ventures, LLC, HIG Capital, IBM, and Mellon Ventures.
