March 18, 2007

ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI, USA, March 18, 2007 – MiTek Industries, Inc. the world's leading supplier of state-of-the-art, engineered connector products, engineering services, and computer-driven machinery for the building component industry, completes worldwide deployment of Cymtec Sentry™.

 

Cymtec Systems, Inc., a privately-held, leading provider of network security solutions delivers market-leading network security through its Cymtec Sentry™ virus propagation protection appliance and the Cymtec Scout™ Intrusion Detection Solution.  Together these solutions provide a comprehensive managed network security solution designed to identify, prevent, and minimize network threats and intrusions. 

 

MiTek, Inc. chose Cymtec Scout™ in 2003 for its reliable intrusion detection engine and ability to easily integrate within their network environment.  Subsequently, to add active response protection to their network MiTek implemented Cymtec Sentry™.  MiTek's deployment has now expanded Cymtec's products to enterprise-wide coverage, with upwards of 25 units deployed.

 

"After doing extensive market research, including trials of various 'big-name' solutions, MiTek chose Cymtec Scout for its ease of implementation, immediate functionality, simple management and immediate ROI" says Stan Gaston, Senior Network Engineer.  "When we added Cymtec Sentry to our environment two years later, we found all of the same qualities once again.  Both products have helped us enormously with both understanding and protecting our network."

 

"MiTek was Cymtec's first true head-to-head market challenge and we were thrilled to receive such positive feedback and to subsequently have been selected as a vendor and partner" says Andrew Rubin, President of Cymtec Systems.  "The addition of both more Cymtec Scout appliances and later Cymtec Sentry was a further validation of our strong client relationship."

 

Cymtec Sentry™ virus propagation protection appliance works within existing security environments to shut down threats with certainty and speed.  Cymtec Sentry™ immediately notifies key personnel with information about which hosts are infected and/or have violated policies, and identifies the source of malicious traffic.

 

Cymtec Scout™ is a network-based intrusion detection solution that combines traditional intrusion detection solution features, such as a sensor and a security management interface, with Cymtec Scouts' proprietary Core Environment.  The Cymtec Scout Core Environment is a shared infrastructure, which enables Cymtec Systems to provide all critical intrusion detection solution components to each customer in a maintenance-free model.

 

Cymtec Systems™ security solutions are designed for maximum reliability and ease of use.  The solutions are easy to implement, configure and maintain, and managed over a highly secure console available using any web-browser.  This allows Cymtec Systems to maintain and upgrade each customer's sensor, software, patches and signatures without any end-user resource expenditure.
