Advanced Security Solution firm MicroWorld Technologies, in partnership with IT solution provider PT IKIN, will now render comprehensive protection of eScan software to hundreds of regional offices under the Education and Culture Research and Development Agency, Ministry of Education and Culture in Indonesia. The producer-distributor duo says they are in talks with various other governmental departments of Indonesia on securing their networks as well.

MicroWorld has also signed an agreement with PT IKIN, appointing them as a Master Distributor of MicroWorld solutions in the nation. As an established player in the Indonesian technology scene, PT IKIN provides cutting-edge, tailored solutions for various Information technology needs of governmental organizations and Enterprises.

"The organizations and business houses of Indonesia have their specific spending patterns when it comes to Information Security," says Sunil Kripalani, Vice President, Global Sales and Marketing, MicroWorld Technologies.

"Various Governmental departments, Government controlled banks, manufacturing industries and distribution chains are the ones who make substantial investments in protecting their networks from external and internal threats. With this new level of partnership, we look forward to actively target these segments with the help of the tremendous market reach that PT IKIN enjoys with them," he adds.

Budiyanto Sohor, CEO of PT IKIN views: "When an Indonesian firm, be it in Public or Private sector, invests in a security solution, it would expect the product to provide the best proactive protection against all sorts of digital threats and provide timely technical support. The advanced security products from MicroWorld will enable us to deliver futuristic solutions that live up to these expectations and beyond".

On how MicroWorld products compare with other solutions in the market, he points out: "One knows it well that a lot of Viruses and Worms originate from far eastern countries and Indonesia is a front runner in that. One of the most widespread varieties of such breed was the Brontok family which propagated with the help of mails written in Indonesian. And the way MicroWorld's eScan countered all variants of Brontok and cleaned the registries of infected computers has earned it great respect from Indonesian customers".

The security firm's leading products are eScan, MailScan and eConceal. The flagship product eScan offers comprehensive AntiVirus, AntiSpam and Content Security for information systems. MailScan from MicroWorld is an advanced security software for a range of Mail Servers while eConceal firewall works as a powerful network security solution.

MicroWorld plans to conduct a range of promotional activities, seminars and security awareness programs in Indonesia over the next twelve months. To begin with, there will be a half-day seminar on eScan conducted at Santika Premiere Hotel, Semarang, July 28th, 2007.
