Irvine, Calif., July 28, 2011 - M86 Security, the global expert in real-time Web and email threat protection, today announced that Choo Kim-Isgitt, Senior Director of Worldwide Marketing has again been recognized by Everything Channel's CRN Magazine as one of the top Women of the Channel in 2011. This annual list recognizes female executives for their accomplishments over the past year, based on their achievements as executives and the amount of influence they wield over the technology channel. This year's Women of the Channel were chosen by the editors of CRN Magazine from a field of vendor channel organizations, distributors and solution providers.

"This year's Women of the Channel list honors those female executives who epitomize success within the IT channel – a traditionally male-centric industry. Whether they come from tier-one vendors, VAR500 solution providers or just bring a bevy of channel experience that cannot be ignored, the 2011 Women of the channel list will recognize the most influential women of the channel based on their overall achievements, and their influence in the technology industry," said Kelley Damore, VP, Editorial Director, Everything Channel.

Kim-Isgitt has evaluated and defined a new channel marketing strategy and program for the Americas region to enhance the M86 PartnerFocus portal and user experience. Furthermore, she developed a channel rewards program which offers individual channel partner sales representatives exciting incentives for new business sales and enhanced the functionality of the M86 PartnerFocus portal to include an easy-to-use marketing automation tool and intuitive dashboards.

"CRN Magazine's renewed recognition of Choo's efforts in developing effective programs and tools for our channel partners proves M86 Security's continued dedication to the channel," said William Kilmer, Chief Marketing Officer, M86 Security. "We have experienced strong growth in the US channel in the past 12 months and our company works tirelessly to ensure our partners are provided with the most effective sales and marketing tools to succeed in today's challenging and competitive market."
