M86 Security Bolsters Latin America Channel Program with Local Sales and Marketing Executive

Added Investment Brings Best-of-Breed Web and e-mail Security Solutions to Latin America; Offers New Opportunities for Resellers

Orange, Calif. – October 22, 2009 – M86 Security, a global provider of Web and messaging security products, today announced the expansion of its Latin America Partner Program and the addition of Buenos Aires-based sales and marketing executive Jose Bodni, who will spearhead the company's efforts and enhanced program throughout the region. M86 Security's channel program currently has more than 100 partners throughout the major countries in Latin America.

M86 Security's complete line of Internet, e-mail and data security solutions provide the tools required for customers to secure their networks from internal misuse and external threats, a continued problem in Latin America. Based on M86 Security's increased commitment to the region, the focused program will provide partners with all the training, marketing, sales and lead generation support required for them to take advantage of the opportunities in the market, along with generous margins. In addition, with a local representative, partners will receive highly presonalized support tailored to meet their specific needs.

"M86 Security products are in demand throughout the world, and Latin America is no exception. We are fortunate to have such a seasoned veteran such as Jose Bodni to lead our growing efforts in the region," said John Notham, director of channels for M86 Security. "Based on the size of our organization, the resources available to us and the direction of our strategy, we felt that now would be the right time to increase our investment in the region. We are pleased to help our partners round out their security product portfolios and help them improve their sales."

Jose Bodni arrives at M86 Security with 20 years of IT industry experience, most recently at SurfControl, where he managed the company's Latin America channel for six years. Bodni's past experience also includes content filtering market knowledge which suits him well in his current role at M86 Security.

"M86 Security products are established in the Latin America market, but are not over-distributed, providing a great opportunity for local resellers to offer their customers unique inbound and outbound content security solutions," said Bodni, director of sales, Latin America. "I look forward to working hand-in-hand with existing partners and building out the channel as we bring on new partners. I will be accessible and involved in their business, making it easier to respond to requests and offer the support they need to be successful."
