Top Layer's IPS Trade-in Program Sparks Interest from UK Reseller and its Clients

Top Layer Security, a leading global provider of Network Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS), announced today that it has partnered with Response Data Communications, a specialist integrator of secure, high-performance communications solutions, to deliver high-quality intrusion prevention systems to the UK market. As a Top Layer Secure Circle Partner, Response Data will add the three dimensional protection (3DP) of the award-winning Top Layer IPS 5500 to its IT security product and service offerings.

Through this partnership, Response Data will be able to leverage Top Layer's popular and industry-first competitive trade-in program, which will allow its clients using older technology from competitive IPS vendors to upgrade to Top Layer's IPS 5500 and refresh their 1st generation IPS systems. The partnership will increase Top Layer's presence within the UK through Response Data's extensive customer base in the city of London, allowing both companies to better meet the area's growing demand for next generation IPS.

"Top Layer's trade-in program allows our customers to easily upgrade to a superior IPS technology with superior support, and we are proud to offer an intrusion prevention solution that matches the strength of our broader family of security solutions," said Danny Williams, director, sales & marketing, Response Data Communications. "Top Layer offers the best IPS to help our customers optimise their potential in the midst of a variety of security challenges, whether it is the possibility of noncompliance or attacks on company websites."

"Data loss, botnets and SQL injection attacks are all on the rise in the UK, and this partnership will allow Top Layer to better serve the region's need for forward-looking protection through our high performance intrusion prevention systems," said Peter Rendall, president and CEO of Top Layer Security. "Response Data is a perfect strategic fit for Top Layer because it understands that in order to optimise business processes, organizations must first protect their data. This partnership will allow Response Data's customers to easily escape from their outdated IPS technology to the three dimensional protection of the Top Layer IPS 5500."
