Partnership Broadens Mobile Security Software Company’s Presence

BALTIMORE, MD August 21, 2006 Bluefire Security Technologies, the leading wireless security software developer, today announced it will partner with Software Spectrum, a single-source provider of business-to-business IT solutions and services.

As a reseller of Bluefire’s Mobile Security TM Enterprise Edition, Software Spectrum will provide their customers, many of whom are government agencies and organizations, with the most secure environment available for wireless devices. In addition, Software Spectrum will bundle Bluefire’s wireless security technology into their existing products as a means to enhance their capabilities and meet customer needs.

“Bluefire is a leader in securing mobile wireless technology,” says Mike Anderson, director of mobility solutions for Software Spectrum. ”With their expertise in the government sector, partnering with Bluefire is a positive step to providing an overall, comprehensive security offering.”

Anderson adds that mobile security is a growing concern, citing a report by Gartner that predicts by the year 2010, 80 percent of key business processes will involve the real-time exchange of information by mobile workers.

Today’s announcement from Bluefire follows a long list of impressive partnerships and reseller agreements with companies including ubitexx GmbH, of Munich, Germany; Synergy Software Systems of Dubai, U.A.E.; as well as national organizations such as immixGroup, Inc., Symantec, CDW Logistics, GTSI, and Merlin Technical Solutions.
