MyWireless customers to receive improved security
Michelle Potgieter, MyWireless assistant product manager says, "Sentech recognises that virus protection is crucial for our customer’s security profile. Any consumer or Small and Medium Business (SME) accessing the Internet, in particular those using an ‘always on’ broadband connection, can be vulnerable to virus invasion and open to harmful spam via e-mail. These security issues are cause for real concern not only from a virus attack perspective, but also from a productivity and cost perspective as well. This exclusive deal enables MyWireless users to have as much as 50% discount on certain products."
As a company with a vision to become a leader in providing world-class broadband communication solutions, Sentech identified Symantec as a security partner that could offer the finest protection available to the consumer market, through offering Sentech MyWireless customers the security products, services and support they require. Not only will this partnership ensure that customers are protected on a 24 x 7 basis, maintaining high availability levels and complete data protection, but this in turn will certify the added security and stability of the Sentech network that comes as a result of our customers being 100 percent secure.
Patrick Evans, regional director, Symantec sub-Saharan Africa says; "We are very pleased to be partnering with Sentech on this wide-scale consumer protection programme and applaud such initiatives. This coupled with our shared vision to ensure that all consumers are security conscious and of course fully protected from the many threats in the Internet arena, ensures that our partnership with Sentech provides their customers with cost effective pricing on our products."
As of Thursday, 1 September 2005, Symantec’s home security products
including: Norton Internet Security 2005, Norton AntiVirus 2005 and Norton AntiSpam have been available to Sentech MyWireless customers at the special discounted rates, all of which is accessible via the Sentech (www.sentech.co.za).
"One of our key commitments and business objectives is to drive consumer education especially around the importance of taking stringent IT security measures, particularly when utilising an always-on Internet connectivity solution. We therefore look forward to working with Sentech on this project to ensure a secure and safe online environment for their MyWireless customers," concludes Evans.
