LEE, MA — (Marketwired) — 07/17/13 — . (NASDAQ: WAVX), the Trusted Computing Company, today announced a strategic distribution agreement with Axiad IDS, a market solution provider and value-added distributor for industry-leading suppliers of identity and access management (IAM) and authentication solutions. The partnership will offer Wave-s security solutions on a resale basis through Axiad-s channel partners.
“We see Wave as a critical component of Axiad IDS solution offering,” said Sam Lellouche, VP, Identity and Access Management Solutions at Axiad IDS. “Through Wave-s innovative trusted computing solutions, customers can now utilize a robust system that offers unprecedented yet straightforward control over exactly who has access to their data, with which devices, and over which networks.
Integrating Wave into its offerings allows Axiad IDS to offer end-to-end solutions to secure data and access to company resources. Customers will get boot protection, data encryption, email security, secure access to computers, networks and applications, either locally, through a VPN or in the cloud — even physical access to buildings. All of this is controlled with a single credential such as a PIV-C smart card.
