Description:
We have successfully negotiated an exclusive, US license for a leading edge, Information Security technology/product that is far ahead of the competition in terms of its ability to facilitate: secure connections from outside the network into the network with ability to granularly control all aspects of that experience: duration, permissions, restricted commands, etc, in a secure manner. without the remote party needing to know the target companies': subnet, IP address, etc. The technology is also facile at network access and administration management, where the system can: monitor and manage ALL devices from one common interface. Devices managed include: PC's, servers (irrespective of O/S or type of server), routers, hub's, PBX's, Firewalls, etc. There are many other interesting product features and benefits which need to be segmented into distinct product offerings which explains one of my immediate objectives.
This product is fully mature. There are currently two, very stable implementations of the product: one at a Bay Area University where the system is managing all devices on the network and the other at a Bay Area hospital/HMO where it is securely managing all devices on the network. Both installations have been stable and continue to run smoothly for almost two years. Along the way there has been a great deal of time and money poured into the product for customization, (window sizing, GUI tweaks) so that many of the things you would expect to be lacking in a newer product are already complete in this product.
Finally, through existing friendships and business relationships we are already into the majority of the largest (by sales volume) hardware resellers and through a recent acquisition already have a high quality group of customers to sell the product to.
I am seeking an operating budget to support efforts to assemble the product distribution network of resellers and staff to develop specific channels and markets for the product, including an ASP hosted, 'service', model.
This technology/product is capable of reducing need for network admin. and InfoSec head count. Work is currently underway to quantify those savings and document these metrics and attendant cost savings.
