HOHENBRUNN, Munich & TORONTO, Ontario--(Business Wire)--

signed a distribution agreement that enables ectacom GmbH, a leading DACH region

"With today`s global workforce becoming increasingly mobile, SecureDoc is

integrate full-disk encryption within a complete security solution to fully
protect data on desktops, laptops and removable media," said Tomé Spasov,
Managing Director, ectacom GmbH. "Our customers demand for a versatile and
highly-secure encryption solution has increased dramatically over the last year,
and we are very excited about sharing SecureDoc`s unique encryption features
with our reseller base," continued Spasov. "As always, ectacom will provide the
value adds and unmatched pre- and post-sales support required to ensure our

"As a leading DACH region value added distributor, ectacom is ideally qualified

WinMagic`s SecureDoc makes it simple for organizations to centrally deploy
enterprise-class `always-on` full-disk encryption. Compatible with all editions
of Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) Windows 7, Vista, XP, and 2000 as well as Mac and
Linux platforms, SecureDoc protects all data stored on servers, desktops,
laptops and removable media, such as USB thumb drives. 

SecureDoc also supports and manages hardware-encrypted disk drives such as the
Seagate® Momentus® FDE and BlackArmor™ drives as well as the TCG "Opal"
specification drives. This provides organizations with the flexibility to deploy
any combination of hardware/software-based encryption - or transition between
the two - with full transparency for users and a consistent management interface
for administrators. This not only makes it easy to customize data protection to
meet any security protocol, but also `future-proofs` investment in encryption.
