SAN JOSE, Calif., July 12, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Untangle®, Inc., a leader in comprehensive network security for small-to-medium business (SMB), has announced a new Value Added Distribution partnership with BIT, a strategic value-added distributor based in the Netherlands. This partnership continues Untangle's expansion into the European market to service small-to-medium and distributed enterprises with cost-effective network security solutions while leveraging BIT's experience in the space.

Untangle offers complete network security solutions that help managed services providers and resellers build out their product portfolios or jump into the rapidly growing network security space. The unified threat management solution, NG Firewall, is easy to deploy and provides clients with bulletproof protection from ransomware, malware, hacking attempts, phishing schemes, spam and inappropriate and dangerous sites and apps. Known industry-wide for its ease-of-use and comprehensive reporting, NG Firewall is the number one choice of small-to-medium businesses and distributed organizations. NG Firewall is seamlessly integrated with Untangle's cloud services, including ScoutIQ™ threat intelligence and Command Center centralized management. Command Center lets administrators manage their deployments with ease and convenience from any browser without requiring an on-premise footprint.

At BIT, everything is structured around the central need of corporate internet users: continuity. Because no two businesses are the same, BIT provides bespoke solutions for every situation. With this, clients receive the exact operating reliability, capacity, growth potential and security they need. At BIT we find privacy and security very important. For the security of our data centers and the services we provide, we have therefore taken various measures to provide our customers with a reliable environment for their equipment. For example, our data centers and all our network, email, hosting and management services are ISO 27001 and NEN 7510 certified. Furthermore we use secure internet protocols and we are active in the open source security community.

"In addition to being a value added distributor, BIT's experience as a datacenter and network security expert provides unparalleled customer experiences," said Scott Devens, chief executive officer at Untangle. "BIT's customer service, as well as corporate services, allow them to untangle the complexity of information technology and implement proper application of technologies in a coherent way and align them with customer needs. We're excited to work with them to expand Untangle's portfolio of award winning network security products."
