''This program will help our mutual customers develop and deploy secure solutions built on the Windows NT platform.''

Secure Computing Professional Services Group has a staff of over 40 dedicated professionals, of whom 26 have received certification by the International Information Systems Security Certification Consortium (ISC(2)).
