InTellect, Turkey's web application security leader, to integrate Sanctum
security solutions in corporate websites
October 22, 2001 -
Sanctum, the established leader in web application security, today announced a
partnership with InTellect, Turkey's leader in Web security solutions. InTellect will
integrate and distribute both Sanctum products, AppScan and AppShield,
throughout Turkey. In addition, InTellect will provide a full range of support
services to its customers, including training. InTellect holds a 42% market
share of Turkey's web security market today. It serves a diversified customer base
including banks and financial institutions, government agencies, industry and
trade companies, and insurance companies. In addition, InTellect is the
distributor in Turkey of corporations such as Check Point, Nokia, Aladdin,
and Symantec.
"Our financial, industrial and e-commerce customers demand the best solution
available in the market," said Timucin Pehlivanli the CEO of InTellect. "Sanctum
solutions provide comprehensive Web application security for businesses of all types,
protecting valuable organizational information."
Sanctum's AppScan automates the complex, manual task of auditing both third party
and custom web applications. Vulnerability assessments that used to take weeks
will now take hours with AppScan. Sanctum's AppShield provides users with
around-the-clock, protection against Web application attacks. AppShield secures web
sites by blocking, logging and alerting administrators to any type of Web-enabled
security breach. The two products combine to form an offensive-defensive
security architecture that enables enterprises to focus developer resources on new
products and services rather than debugging and patching existing applications.
"The problem of protecting a companies valuable digital assets is a worldwide
issue today. The agreement with InTellect continues to validate Sanctum's leadership
in solving this business problem in expanding markets", said Tomer Afek, Channels
Manager of Sanctum Ltd. "The entry to the Turkish market opens new, significant
channels for Sanctum operations. We are very pleased to be partnering with a leader
in this space to help provide our leadership Web application solutions and
continue to set a global standard for Web application security".
