Sydney: D-Link, the end-to-end networking solutions provider for consumers and businesses, has entered into a partnership with Kaspersky Lab, a developer of secure content management solutions, as a Technology Partner under D-Link's Global Alliance Program. The partnership allows for D-Link to enhance and extend the capabilities of the company's unified threat management (UTM) solutions. The alliance with Kaspersky Lab provides D-Link with extended anti-malware support towards its NetDefend series, which is designed to guard network data from malicious attacks. In addition, the initiative allows both D-Link and Kaspersky Lab to combine marketing efforts in the promotion of joint solutions, and develop additional complementary products and services. "We are pleased to have a company like Kaspersky Lab to join our Global Alliance Program," said Maurice Famularo, D-Link Marketing Director Australia and New Zealand. "They have proven themselves as a leading organisation that offers a high level of knowledge in not just Internet security, but anti-virus and mobile security as well." Prior to the alliance, D-Link and Kaspersky Lab had worked together, implementing Kaspersky Lab's SafeStream anti-malware solution into the Company's DFL-260 and DFL-860 UTM appliances. "We welcome this opportunity to strengthen our business relations with D-Link," said Peter Merkulov, Kaspersky Lab Vice President of Technology Alliances.
