Calyptix Security Provides Training Sessions for
AccessEnforcer Resellers across the Carolinas
September 4, 2008 — CHARLOTTE, NC — Internet security firm, Calyptix Security, has recently completed
a series of onsite mentoring and training sessions for its partners located in North and South Carolina that
resell its AccessEnforcer™ unified threat management device. By providing thorough partner and reseller
education on the device and the latest security threats, Calyptix gives its partners the best possible
toolset for protecting the networks of their clients.
The ½-day training programs brought IT managed services providers together at Calyptix' North Charlotte
office and in Winston-Salem. Among those in attendance were representatives from Charlotte Tech
Support, Waypoint Solutions Group, Wincourse Technologies, NetSouth and ServCom. All attendees had
the opportunity to meet in person with training and development staff to become intimately acquainted
with AccessEnforcer and how to integrate it into their service offering to defend against the latest security
threats and vulnerabilities.
The participating resellers were offered demonstrations as well as hands-on test installations that enabled
them to assess the depth of their own knowledge with Calyptix experts at their side. The relaxed format of
the sessions enabled each group to learn details specific to their unique business and customer needs.
The majority of Calyptix' partners and resellers are focused on serving the IT needs of small and medium
businesses (SMBs). Trends within SMBs are shifting toward greater dependence on IT services for
everything from security solutions to comprehensive network management. AccessEnforcer fits perfectly
into their solution model because it was purpose built to serve the needs of the SMB market sector.
Calyptix' innovative UTM (Unified Threat Management) device provides total control and security with a
combination of features that protects networks from spam, viruses, spyware, unauthorized web surfing,
hackers and other cyber threats and enables secure remote access, Active Directory integration and
comprehensive reporting — all at a single price point that SMBs can afford. The product's simplicity of
implementation and use is an added advantage to service providers since including it in their solution set
actually streamlines their management efforts while also increasing network security.
Calyptix solution is practically turnkey for resellers. Implementation is a short and sweet process that is
explained through an installation guide and repeated in onscreen instructions. Management of the
features is simplified through a dashboard that is self-explanatory and accommodating.
"Calyptix' onsite training provided a tremendous opportunity to get face-time with training staff and to ask
direct questions of the developers of the device. Most product manufacturers just throw a guide sheet in
with their product shipment," said Tony Shannon, Managing Partner of Charlotte Techsupport. "Calyptix is
leading the pack in providing in-depth training — even though their product is quite simple to implement
and manage."
"It was exciting to have our partners onsite to learn more about the AccessEnforcer and how it can protect
their clients from emerging and rapidly changing threats. Their eagerness to learn shows us that they are
committed to the security of their clients and want to learn how AccessEnforcer as the next generation
security appliance is a valuable tool to protect them," comments Calyptix CEO, Ben Yarbrough.
