NETFORTRESS ADDED TO GSA SCHEDULE
Breakthrough Network Security Solution Now Widely Available to Government
Customers
Tampa, FL.... Digital Secured Networks (DSN) Technology announced today that
its advanced encryption product, the NetFortress, has been listed on the
federal procurement schedule of the General Services Administration (GSA).
The NetFortress was added to the GSA schedule of one of DSN's federal market
VARs, Patriot Technologies Inc.
The addition of the NetFortress to the GSA Schedule (#GS-35F-4363D) makes
DSN's breakthrough encryption products widely available to customers
throughout the federal government. Since the GSA Schedule functions as an
approved, "one-stop shop" for federal purchases, it also will shorten the
overall procurement process for federal purchasers.
"Availability and affordability are the keys for federal buyers," said
Raymond L. Weadock, DSN's President and Chief Executive Officer.
"Purchasing NetFortress products through the GSA schedule will simplify the
overall procurement process, and enable our federal customers to integrate
our superior security solutions quickly and efficiently."
"The GSA listing for the NetFortress is an important part of our federal
sales efforts," Weadock continued. "We have seen a significant increase in
federal customers as a result of the recent success of the NetFortress in
tests at multiple government testbeds. We anticipate that the GSA listing
will enhance the attractiveness of our product in many of these buying
decisions."
The NetFortress stands out from other network security products because of
its unique combination of high-speed data throughput and fully-automated
encryption, authentication and key management technologies. Its
hardware-based design utilizes algorithm-independent encryption at the
network layer (supports IDEA, DES, Triple DES and FEAL), enhanced by dynamic
random key exchanges every 24 hours. The NetFortress offers superior
security and high-speed performance in an easy-to-deploy, low-cost package.
