- Program Enables Partners to Offer a Highly Differentiated Solution for
the Rapidly Evolving IT Security Market

NitroSecurity, Inc. (http://www.nitrosecurity.com), a provider of high
performance, unified information security solutions, today launched its
Global Channel Partner Program, NitroConnect. The program provides security
centric resellers with training, tools and highly differentiated solutions to
increase the value, and return, of their product and service offerings.

NitroSecurity's integrated security solutions enables businesses of all
sizes to lower their cost and increase the performance of IT security
deployments and operations. The NitroConnect Partner Program allows resellers
to pass these benefits on to customers through NitroSecurity's award winning
products: NitroView Enterprise Security Manager 
(http://www.nitrosecurity.com/products/nitroview/) (A Unified Security
Management (USM) appliance that combines Log Management, Network Analysis,
and Security Information & Event Management (SIEM) into a single solution)
and NitroGuard Intrusion Prevention System 
(http://www.nitrosecurity.com/products/nitroguard/). NitroConnect partners
can differentiate themselves by delivering a fully unified security solution
at a lower cost, thereby increasing their profit margins.

Partners can join NitroConnect at three different levels:
    -- Authorized Resellers: ability to offer pre/post sales and technical
       support;
    -- Solution Partners: ability to offer pre/post sales, technical support
       and professional services, including, install, training and 
       consulting; and,
    -- Premier Solution Partners: ability to offer all capabilities of
       Solution Partners, plus capacity to handle high-volume sales.



Many top tier companies are already part of NitroConnect, including
ProActive Networks and Security, which offers a diverse mix of products and
services to address various network security needs; and Telonic, a leading
System Integrator in Germany.

"NitroSecurity's channel partner program is not only comprehensive, but
it also takes into account the true value added from the 
reseller/integrator," said David Sinnott, president, ProActive Networks and 
Security. "We had one telco customer that replaced Cisco MARS with NitroView, 
and was so impressed with the system's capability, pricing and accelerated 
delivery schedule that they immediately placed an order for additional 
NitroGuard IPS devices to enhance visibility into their internal networks."

"NitroSecurity is an excellent complement to our range of security and
measurement products," said Andreas Schlechter, managing director, Telonic.
"With Nitro's suite of products, we can more effectively meet the
requirements and demands of customers to collect, correlate and manage logs,
events and alarms in real time."

NitroConnect offers extensive training and tools to get partners up to
speed and certified on the NitroSecurity suite of products. Full support from
pre-sales assistance to professional services is available, and partners can
utilize NitroConnect PartnerWeb for easy access to product, marketing, and
operational resources. Partners also have the opportunity to participate in
joint seminars and webinars to further increase visibility in the industry.
Other program benefits include deal registration, market development funds,
and assigned partner sales and technical managers for Premier Solution
Partners.

"Effective partner strategies are a crucial component for any technology
company," said Ken Levine, chief executive officer, NitroSecurity.
"NitroSecurity's product family helps partner companies diversify their
offerings and meet the network security requirements today's enterprise
demands. We already have a healthy roster of channel partners participating
in NitroConnect and look forward to growing those numbers and forging
additional mutually beneficial relationships with security-focused
companies."
