D-LINK signs Kaspersky Lab to Gap
D-Link and Kaspersky Lab Sign Agreement to Enhance NetDefend™ Product Line
Sydney Australia Nov. 3, 2009 D-Link, the end-to-end
networking solutions provider for consumers and business, today announced
its partnership with Kaspersky Lab, a leading developer of secure content
management solutions, as a Technology Partner under D-Link’s Global
Alliance Program. The partnership allows for D-Link to enhance and extend
the capabilities of the Company’s unified threat management (UTM)
solutions.
The alliance with Kaspersky Lab provides D-Link with extended anti-malware support towards its NetDefend series, which is designed to guard network data from malicious attacks. In addition, the initiative allows both D-Link and Kaspersky Lab to combine marketing efforts in the promotion of joint solutions, and develop additional complementary products and services.
“We are pleased to have a company like Kaspersky Lab to join our Global Alliance Program,” Maurice Famularo, D-Link Marketing Director Australia and New Zealand. “They have proven themselves as a leading organisation that offers a high level of knowledge in not just Internet security, but anti-virus and mobile security as well.”
“We welcome this opportunity to strengthen our business relations with D-Link,” replied Peter Merkulov, Kaspersky Lab Vice President of Technology Alliances. “As the ranks of cybercriminals continue to swell, it is only through merging D-Link’s networking expertise with our experience in fighting malware that can expect them, protecting from harm those who trust us.”
Prior to the alliance, D-Link and Kaspersky Lab had worked together, implementing Kaspersky Lab’s SafeStream anti-malware solution into the Company’s DFL-260 and DFL-860 UTM appliances.
