CoSoSys included in CRN’s Top 25 Coolest Emerging Vendors of 2009

San Jose, CA and Bucharest, RO, July 28, 2009. CoSoSys, a leading developer of endpoint security and portable storage device applications, today announced it is has been selected as one of the coolest 25 emerging vendors of 2009 by Everything Channel’s Channel Reseller News (CRN). CoSoSys has been selected for its outstanding results in the endpoint security industry delivered by its cutting-edge device control and data loss prevention solution, Endpoint Protector 2009.

The CRN Top 25 Coolest Emerging Vendors of 2009 rewards companies that help solution providers achieve great margins as well as time and cost savings by providing them with innovative, effective and intuitive technology, thus positioning themselves as important competitors to industry giants. With Endpoint Protector 2009, CoSoSys takes a plunge into an overlooked market for device control and data protection as more frequently reported by companies around the world where severe data breaches caused by the intentional or accidental misuse of portable storage and lifestyle devices entailing tremendous losses occur.

“Solution providers say they are driving a higher percentage of their sales and profits from these emerging vendors in the midst of the greatest economic downturn since the Great Depression. That’s because emerging vendors are delivering more innovative solutions at a better price for customers and driving higher profits for solution providers,” explained CRN’s Steven Burke in a recent article.

Featuring a lower TCO than its competitors and impressive renewal rates and revenue for its endpoint security solutions, CoSoSys is continuously striving to expand its reseller network which now comprises over 60 partners from around the world.

“Our strategy is simple: we are committed to placing our resellers on a steady and fast track to revenue and to achieve that goal we employ a three-fold tactic. First, we make sure to design and develop best-of-breed solutions that are effective in what both network protection and cost are concerned and can be ported on several hardware platforms. Secondly, we make sure to generate both up-sell and cross-sell opportunities. The third component is making sure our resellers are able to take advantage of all opportunities arising, by enrolling them in smart technology, sales and marketing training programs,” explained Roman Foeckl, CoSoSys CEO.

Endpoint Protector 2009 is designed to minimize internal threats, reduce the data leakage risks and control devices connected at endpoints. It allows IT departments to proactively take control of the device internal use, while tracking all data transferred in or out of the protected network and enforcing encryption of the data in transit on portable devices. The new Endpoint Protector version is available as a free 30 day trial for Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7 and Mac OS X or online demo at http://www.EndpointProtector.com.
