Japanese-owned Soliton Systems is expanding into Europe with the rebrand of Excitor, the mobile security specialist. Soliton recently acquired Excitor and will continue to offer Excitor's secure mobile and remote access products alongside its range of enterprise-class network security solutions.
Excitor will be rebranded as Soliton as the company ramps up its operations across Europe, expanding its channel partnership programme to target the cyber security market. Sophisticated and veracious attacks and the imminent application of more stringent data regulation in the form of legislation such as the EU GDPR will increase the onus on the organisation to secure data, it says.
The company will now begin to focus on localising these products before accelerating its channel partnership programme across the region. Soliton has already committed to a Research and Development facility to be located in Copenhagen and will announce further plans in 2017.
Recognising a shift in demand, Soliton Systems will now focus not just on enterprise mobility but on data and access protection through a suite of cyber security products. The Mobicontrol MDM, DME mobile container, and G-On remote access device previously offered by Excitor will be complemented by cyber controls that protect, guard and actively defend data.
The Soliton services being rolled out across Europe will include:
- NetAttest EPS - a network access authentication solution that uses a dedicated hardware unit to issue network access authentication certificates to approved devices.
- FileZen - a secure data sharing solution that allows shared files to be stored on a dedicated appliance, available for download by specified recipients. As data is downloaded direct from the FileZen unit, recipients avoid file size limits and false-positive blocks by their email content filters. FileZen also offers a complete audit trail of activities and built-in permissions to prevent data misuse.
- SecureBrowser - a secure mobile web browser tool that ensures browsing data is encrypted at every point, to prevent MitM attacks, or sensitive data leaks.
- InfoTrace - a monitoring and scanning solution that uses five levels of analysis to identify and block malware and prevent the realisation of APTs.
