Secos's Channel Focus and Powerful, Easy-to-Use Products Deliver a

Winning Combination to Resellers in Today's Competitive Marketplace

Secos (http://www.secos.com), dedicated to the development of effective, globally focused technology, offering network, transaction, content and system security, today announced seven new reseller partnerships located throughout the United States.

Because network administrators are demanding security solutions that are both high performance and cost-effective, these solution providers have selected SecoShield(TM) and SecoSpider(TM) for their recommended intrusion detection system (NIDS) and enterprise security management (ESM) solutions.

Secos's partnership program is experiencing rapid growth due to the company's simple and highly effective channel strategy: the reseller owns the customer relationship; empower the solution provider with innovative and robust tools and programs, and diligently work to provide the end-user with the highest level of ongoing customer service.

"Secos's commitment to the channel is crystal clear -- develop meaningful reseller relationships with providers that have a laser beam focus on delivering reliable, powerful and cost-effective information security products to their customers," stated Nick Hulse, vice president and general manager of Secos.
