We know by adding Watchful Software-s leading software security solutions our partners will instantly have a competitive advantage in the DACH marketplace.”
Andy Hahner, Business Development Director at 3KV confirmed that “Watchful Software provides a disruptive technology solution that addresses the critical business need to maintain the security of corporate information; this technology is now available to resellers and their customers in the DACH region.”
“This agreement signals the increased demand that customers are placing on VARs for advanced persistent security technologies in light of today-s constant information threats, and the strong market response to RightsWATCH to address these demands,” said Justine Cross, business development for Watchful Software. “In addition, 3KV brings the VAR channel a true value added service.

Today, sensitive information is all too often lost, leaked and sent where it shouldn-t be; hence a CIO-s top priority has become stopping this trend. Watchful Software lets enterprises easily address two of the most critical questions facing CIOs and CSOs today — how do I protect my company-s greatest asset (outside of its people), which is its information? And, in today-s world of increasingly complex cybercrimes, how do I constantly ensure that the people accessing that information are who they say they are? Leveraging key technologies including advanced encryption algorithms, digital rights management, and e-Biometrics, the company is staffed by industry executives with decades of systems, software, networking, security, and compliance experience to address the growing need for protecting sensitive and proprietary information against accidental or malicious theft, leakage, or loss.
Since foundation in 1996, 3KV has grown to become a leading, specialist distributor of wired and wireless IT infrastructure and security systems. We make networks smarter, faster and more secure. 3KV is a subsidiary of HPI AG (Hoechst Procurement International) — ticker symbol CEW3, Frankfurt Stock Exchange — a leading public service provider of strategic procurement management.
