SAN DIEGO, Feb. 20 /PRNewswire/ -- NetCel360, the foremost pan-Asian e-Business Service Provider (eSP), today announced it has been certified by TruSecure Corporation, a leader in the field of Internet security. Headquartered in Hong Kong with U.S. operations based in San Diego, NetCel360 is the first and only Asian company to receive this certification.
Certification by TruSecure Corp. covers all aspects of security including security policy, operational environment, disaster recovery and network connections. NetCel360's certification was based on a series of intensive evaluations and recommendations in the areas of network architecture, connectivity, physical security, redundancy and disaster recovery capabilities, environmental controls, system configurations and operational policy compliance. TruSecure Corp. determined that NetCel360 met all criteria and, in many cases, exceeded the stringent global standards required for TruSecure certification.
"Because the security of our clients' businesses is our number one priority, we are particularly pleased to receive this designation," commented Bill De Kruif, vice president, U.S. Operations. "Asia will play an increasingly key role in the Internet world, and this certification further validates NetCel360's leading position in Asia."
Last month, the research firm Jupiter Media Matrix reported that in less than five years, Internet users in the Asia-Pacific region will exceed users in the United States. By 2005, roughly one-third of all Internet users will be located in Asia-Pacific, according to Jupiter.
NetCel360's operation in the United States primarily focuses on providing a broad range of e-Business services to multinational companies and established Internet companies that are expanding their Internet presence in the Asia-Pacific region.
Phil Kelly, founder and chairman of NetCel360, added, "In this era of fast-moving technological developments, it is critical that maximum security measures are taken to ensure e-Business is conducted safely. We are proud to be the first company in Asia to offer our clients comprehensive security measures that have been benchmarked globally."
In today's changing e-Business environment, TruSecure certification is answering the need for standards in security solutions and management and is increasingly becoming the de facto standard for secure e-Business.
Pierre Noel, CEO of TruSecure Asia, noted, "We are very pleased to see NetCel360 be the first to achieve TruSecure Certification out of 25 other companies in Asia waiting to achieve this certification. Aside from setting new standards for NetCel360's Security Best Practice, the TruSecure Certification also demonstrates NetCel360's commitment to continuous protection against security threats."
With its multi-vendor, cross-industry product certification capabilities, expertise and knowledge of information security management and risk, TruSecure provides leadership and support to its customers in the world of e-Business. By minimizing security risks in e-Business organizations, TruSecure certification is intended to raise confidence and trust required by organizations seeking success in the new economy.
