Integralis Partners with Top Layer Networks to Provide Intrusion Prevention Solutions

Westboro, MA, October 16, 2006 -

Top Layer Networks, the global leader for high performance intrusion prevention solutions, today announced a partnership with Integralis, Europe’s largest security systems integrator. As a Top Layer Secure Circle Partner, Integralis US will add the three dimensional protection of the Top Layer IPS 5500 to its security offerings and provide Managed IPS Security Services.

Network threats continue to grow rapidly as viruses, worms and spyware propagate at an alarming rate. As hackers continue to find new ways to penetrate and exploit networks, organizations are held hostage by the costs associated with securing the enterprise against such repeated attacks. With the Top Layer IPS 5500, Integralis will be able to deliver its entire line of Managed IPS Security Services to provide non-disruptive protection against risks and losses associated with cyber threats and network attacks to their customers.

“The increasing sophistication of cyber threats has elevated the importance of IPS within our customer base, making it essential for us to deliver managed security solutions that block malicious traffic from entering our customer’s networks,” said Robin Mayo, President of Integralis. “Top Layer Network’s IPS 5500 is recognized as one of the best intrusion prevention solutions on the market, providing its customers with high performance protection required in today’s Internet-connected world. ”

The partnership will enable Integralis to augment its current security offerings and provide a new level of protection to its customers. Top Layer and Integralis currently have joint customers in the financial sector, government and entertainment industries.

“We are dedicated to the growth of our channel program and our partnership with Integralis continues the momentum Top Layer established with the unveiling of the Top Layer Secure Circle Partnership Program earlier this year,” said Peter Rendall, president and CEO of Top Layer Networks. “As a trusted source in security systems integration, Integralis enables Top Layer to expand business opportunities and provide more customers with the three dimension protection that is needed to meet today’s evolving security threats.”
