Alliance extends the transfer volume of state-of-the-art security technology into the Gulf region
A leader top supplier of premier security products, solutions and services, AGT and F-Secure Corporation today announced their strategic cooperation in order to optimise their security business activities to the Middle East countries. The aim of their joint efforts is to extent their market presence into each Middle East country by the end of 2004. With this business partnership with F-Secure, the leading provider of centrally managed security solutions for the mobile enterprise, AGT adds to their premier class range of security solutions not only another top-class firewall functionality but significantly extends its leading market position in the Middle East.
It has been our wish for a long time to supply Middle East clients with F-Secures
premier class products, says Mario Grossmann, Managing Director of AGT. He continues:
It's simply great that we are able announce this alliance in time for the GITEX
trade fair in Dubai where AGT is of course present with an own stand. Kimmo Alkio,

"One of our strategic goals is to streng-then our global partner network, and
through this collaboration we now have even a better chance to grow our
business in the Arabic countries."
AGT is a long time professional in the security field and I believe this agreement will bring a great value as well as the best solutions for AGT's resellers and their customers. For the GITEX in Dubai two latest released all-new F-Secure products will be in the centre of attraction for both companies: F-Secure Anti-Virus Client Security is the first truly integrated solution against viruses, with antivirus, distributed firewall, application control and intrusion prevention in one seamless cost efficient product.
