New Partner Will Resell Protegrity's Next Generation Tokenization Solution to SMB Market


STAMFORD, CT--(Marketwire - October 26, 2010) -  Protegrity USA, Inc., a leading provider of end-to-end data security solutions, today announced it has expanded its Channel Program with the addition of JCS & Associations, Inc. as a new technology integrator reselling Protegrity's flagship Data Security Platform. With JCS & Associates' focus on the small- and medium-sized business (SMB) sector, Protegrity's award-winning solution will now be available to a much broader customer base than before.

JCS & Associates, Inc. turned to Protegrity for its technological innovation and market leadership in end-to-end encryption and next generation tokenization. Next generation tokenization, in particular, is becoming highly recognized as a more cost-effective and secure alternative to safeguarding sensitive customer data in the wake of heightened regulatory compliance. Protegrity's Data Security Platform with centralized security management, complete reporting functionality and scalable, high performance support is a robust security solution that will complement many existing security suites. By adding Protegrity to its solution lineup, JCS & Associates, Inc. provides a unique offering that many other resellers do not have.

JCS is an established and successful information systems security integrator with extensive experience in selling security technology to the SMB market. By broadening its portfolio of offerings with Protegrity's Data Security Platform, JCS's customers will benefit from the greater depth and wider availability of market leading solutions that it continues to represent. By combining its technology integration services with the added layers of data protection that Protegrity's solution offers, JCS now provides a robust security solution that SMBs can rely on for complete data protection. Small businesses often have fewer resources and budget allocation to dedicate to enterprise data security, leaving them vulnerable to security breaches. Utilizing the latest tokenization technology from Protegrity, SMBs can rest assured that their information is secure and is being centrally managed, so they can concentrate on running their businesses as efficiently as possible.

Jim Shaeffer, CEO and founder of JCS, states, "We are proud of the leading-edge technology solutions we provide to our SMB-focused customers. Selecting Protegrity for its innovation in tokenization technology enables us to differentiate our offerings from others in the market and provide our customers with this kind of solution for the very first time."

"JCS brings a wealth of security expertise and a broad customer base to Protegrity as the newest addition to our partner program," said Iain Kerr, CEO of Protegrity. "With JCS reselling our Data Security Platform, we can be confident that our joint customers are getting the best data protection possible. The relationship will also enable Protegrity to bring our tokenization capabilities to a new and much wider universe of customers."
