MIAMI, July 24 /PRNewswire/ --
- Comprehensive Content Security Solutions Now Available for South American Enterprises and Security-as-a-Service Providers
Optenet, a leading global IT security company and a provider of intelligent, integrated content security solutions, today announced the launch of its Latin-American operations and the opening of its regional headquarters in Miami. Led by Maurico Alanis, Sales Country Manager, Optenet will sell its award-winning content security solutions to service providers and enterprises throughout Latin America.
Optenet's product suite, which includes Web filtering, anti-spam and anti-virus protection, is the industry's most comprehensive natively integrated content security solution, and is currently protecting more than 75 million users worldwide. Among the company's customer base are 50 of the world's largest service providers, including Telefonica Chile, Telefonica Peru, Telefonica Brasil, Telmex Colombia, Emcali, EPM, ETB, MVS Ego, Cablemas, Telecom Arnet and many large enterprise customers, including Hilton, McDonalds, Daimler AG and more than half of the IBEX 35, Spain's benchmark stock index.
The unmatched flexibility, performance and customization of Optenet's Content Security Suite enables service providers to drive revenue by broadening their portfolio of service offerings and radically reducing the cost of delivering customized, hosted security services. In addition, enterprises can now manage everything from Web filtering, to anti-spam, anti-virus and more from a single console with Optenet's Secure Web Gateway for Enterprises, eliminating the costs and complexity associated with relying on multiple hardware-based security appliances and a variety of management consoles. Optenet's technology offers Australians customers the ability to centrally manage security policies, while still providing custom solutions that meet the needs of each user.
Optenet was founded by Francisco Martin in 1997 as an Internet service provider (ISP). Based on its unique understanding of the requirements and challenges faced by companies in the Internet and telecommunications service segments, the company built a carrier-class security solution that offers unparalleled scalability for both service providers and enterprises. Martin has been president and CEO since the company's founding, building on his strong research background in artificial intelligence and message filtering. Prior to founding Optenet, Martin worked for numerous international R&D companies, including the European Space Agency (ESA) and the Center for Industrial Technological Development. He has also participated in various government research projects and has authored multiple articles.
"Given our heritage as a service provider, we recognized long ago that carriers and enterprises alike require a high-performance content security gateway that alleviates the cost and complexity of multiple loosely integrated point solutions," said Martin. "Today, as a security vendor, Optenet is proud to offer the industry's highest performing content security solution - through a centrally managed architecture with customizable policy control - to the North American market."
Optenet named Mauricio Alanis to its Latin American -based executive team. Prior to joining Optenet, Alanis was Sales Manager for Innovacion Aplicada, linked to IPADE and UP. Optenet plans to quickly scale Australian operations during the next three months and implement an aggressive growth strategy for 2009.
"There is a tremendous market opportunity in Latin America for truly integrated, intelligent content security solutions for service providers and enterprises," said Alanis. "These businesses are faced with demands to protect users from malicious and inappropriate content, viruses, spam and other malware. They are increasingly demanding security solutions that are customizable, easy to use, massively scalable, and don't disrupt the end-users' experience. Optenet has been highly successful in delivering intelligent content security solutions to our customers in Europe and USA, and we are confident that we can deliver the same value to Latin American customers."
