Sana Security Partners with Ktech Consulting to Expand Reseller Network in Midwest U.S.

IT Consulting Firm Joins Partner Program to Deliver Comprehensive Malware Protection to Small and Medium Businesses

San Mateo, CA - April 18, 2006— Sana Security, Inc., a leader in enterprise threat protection software, today announced the continued expansion of its Reseller Partner Program with the signing of Ktech Consulting, a leading IT consulting service and network security and management solutions provider. The Ktech and Sana Security alliance will provide a cost-effective defense-in-depth security strategy and protect small and medium businesses (SMBs) from the onslaught of stealthy, information-stealing threats, such as Rootkits. Sana Security will layer Primary Response SafeConnect with Ktech’s existing security strategy to provide both the consulting firm and its extended SMB network the benefit of active protection for a best-of-breed security solution.

Chicago-based Ktech Consulting is focused on providing scalable, easy-to-deploy and manageable solutions for SMBs. Ktech partners with leading security vendors to provide enhanced protection for complex systems, allowing organizations to increase productivity and yield the greatest return on investment. The partnership with Sana Security will allow Ktech to strengthen its security portfolio and provide a proactive behavior-based security solution for today’s unknown and zero-day malware attacks. Primary Response SafeConnect is the first commercially available security solution that detects and removes malware threats, including spyware, Trojans, Rootkits and keyloggers, without requiring signatures or scanning.

“We’ve used other anti-virus and anti-spyware solutions, and the traditional models are proving to be ineffective in defending against unknown, zero-day and stealthy threats like Rootkits. Even when solutions were running up-to-date, we would still uncover malicious software,” said Jeff Kessler, CEO and President, Ktech Consulting. “The primary problem was time—our consultants were regularly called in to run scans and updates, which wasted hours and impeded our other IT initiatives. Primary Response SafeConnect provides real-time, constant protection that doesn’t require excessive IT budgets to manage and keep up-to-date. In turn, Sana Security enables our customers to receive the superior protection they require while saving the time and cost involved with on-site support.”

"Small and medium business owners are rapidly discovering that their critical systems cannot effectively be protected against threats by standard AV solutions alone,” said Timothy Eades, senior vice president of sales and marketing, Sana Security. “In partnering with Ktech Consulting, Sana Security not only helps bring complete, manageable protection against known and unknown malware threats to SMBs, but also dramatically streamlines the consultants’ security strategy while ensuring the highest rates of client satisfaction.”

At the core of Primary Response SafeConnect is Sana’s patent-pending Active Malware Defense Technology v.2 (Active MDT), an innovative approach using behavior heuristics to detect and remove malicious software before it can harm PCs. Active MDT instantly removes malicious software components from the file system, including kernel level Rootkit attacks, and quarantines them so that they can be eliminated completely. Once the removal process is complete, client PCs are protected with always-on, proactive protection against today’s preeminent threats whether online or offline, connected or not.

“Hackers have access to numerous tools that can exploit attack vectors into organizations today,” said Paul Proctor, research vice president, Gartner. “Businesses need to develop a defense-in-depth strategy that combines proactive security processes with tools and techniques that protect their networks to a reasonable level.”
