TORONTO, February 22, 2010 /PRNewswire/ —

– New PartnerAdvantage Program Driven by Demand for Data Loss Prevention Solutions.

Echoworx Corporation (http://www.echoworx.com), a leading provider of email and data encryption for enterprises, announces its enhanced PartnerAdvantage Program. In response to increasing pressure from security professionals, Echoworx is extending its highly successful channel sales program to include security professionals who are increasingly being asked by their customers to supply the market’s best encryption solutions for data loss prevention. Echoworx already offers its encryption and data loss prevention products through global channel partners including telecommunications and the leading anti-virus/anti-spam security companies.

Data privacy regulation and laws, and recent amendments that impose fines and penalties for breach of their requirements, have drawn the attention of executives and IT professionals around the World. Companies are looking for the best data loss prevention solutions that give companies the power to easily encrypt confidential email and other information at the click of a button, and that will automatically encrypt data that should have been encrypted according to company policies. The recent amendment to the UK Data Protection Act imposing a new 500,000 pound Sterling for a serious breach of the Act is an example of the magnitude of damage executives are looking to avoid by encrypting private information.

“Prevention of data loss from theft and accidental disclosure has become a true concern for companies and government organizations,” said Michael Ginsberg, President and CEO of Echoworx. “We are extending our PartnerAdvantage Program to ensure that our market-leading encryption solutions will reach more companies through the wider sales channel of highly respected and trusted security professionals. These professionals are responsible for introducing the latest security measures into organizations around the World, and we are now able to work with them to ensure the proliferation of data loss prevention solutions everywhere.”

The latest Echoworx PartnerAdvantage Program now gives security professionals the ability to resell Echoworx Encrypted Mail, Encrypted Mail Gateway and Encrypted Documents products, as well as access to a full suite of training and sales support material. Partners will be required to register and certify with Echoworx, and based on a number of criteria the partner will qualify as a Platinum, Gold or Silver Partner.
