MEDFORD, NJ and LISBON, PORTUGAL — (Marketwired) — 11/26/13 — Watchful Software, a leading provider of data-centric information security solutions, and Miel, a value-added distributor and training center in France, today announced that they have signed a distribution agreement entitling Miel to offer Watchful Software-s advanced persistent security products to the French market. Miel will provide sales and support capabilities for Watchful Software-s line of security products, including RightsWATCH, to its value-added-reseller (VAR) channel in the security marketplace.
“Watchful Software provides a disruptive technology solution that addresses the critical business need to maintain the security of corporate information. We are delighted to be adding RightsWATCH to our world-class products lineup,” said Jean-Baptiste Pommé, Managing Director at Miel. “We pride ourselves in finding our reseller channels the best in breed technologies to address their customers- needs and problems. We know by adding Watchful Software-s leading software security solutions, our partners will instantly have a competitive advantage in the security marketplace in France.”
“This agreement underscores the increased demand customers are placing on VARs for advanced persistent security technologies in response to today-s constant information threats. The market continues to be strong for RightsWATCH as it robustly addresses these demands,” said João Beato Esteves, Watchful Software-s Regional Sales Manager. “In addition, Miel brings to the VAR channel a true value added service. Excellent sales, pre-sales and post-sales support helps all of its partners succeed in bringing a new technology to the market.”
Focused on Information Protection and Control (IPC) via data-centric security, RightsWATCH keeps sensitive data safe from security breaches, leaks, or unauthorized disclosure, resulting from either malicious wrongdoing or inadvertent misusage. RightsWATCH leverages data classification, Information Rights Management and Data Loss Prevention in a single software package, to keep sensitive data safe and secure regardless of whether it is at rest, in motion, or in use — even if it-s totally outside network perimeter defenses. RightsWATCH also aids in achieving regulatory compliance, by enforcing a multi-level security model, which provides access to data based on the user-s “need-to-know,” and delivering powerful forensic analytics.
Watchful Software was formed in 2012 to address the requirement to protect an organization-s most critical asset after its people — its information. 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. Leveraging key technologies including advanced encryption algorithms, digital rights management, and e-Biometrics, Watchful Software has developed a suite of solutions that ensure only authorized personnel have access to enterprise systems or can handle sensitive information, thereby protecting against the massive economic and competitive damage often done by cyberterrorists and information thieves.
