NEW YORK, NY, Sep 13, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- Fusion Telecommunications
International, Inc. (OTCQB: FSNN) today announced a strategic agreement with
Unisys (NYSE: UIS) on the marketing of a fully integrated suite of secure
network and cloud services, with an emphasis on leading-edge Unisys security
solutions. Fusion will offer Unisys solutions to enterprises in the U.S., with a
strong initial focus on healthcare through its exclusive agreement to provide
communications and cloud services to the members of a leading, nation-wide group
purchasing organization.
Initially, Fusion will focus on the Unisys Stealth Solution Suite of
cybersecurity software to help organizations address the growing challenge of
cybersecurity attacks and hacker incidents. The NSA-certified solutions use
patented pending security techniques designed to cloak data communication end
points, such as end user devices, data center servers and applications, to
become obscured on the network and therefore concealed as targets for hackers.
Unisys Stealth applies military-grade encryption and a unique "bit-splitting"
technology that separates data into multiple packets as it moves through the
network and to storage devices, and then authenticates and reassembles the
information packets for delivery exclusively to authorized users.
A staggering 23 million records were exposed to data breaches in 2011*,
compromising privacy and undermining customer confidence while costing
enterprises millions in operating costs. The Unisys Stealth solutions are
intended to help enterprises avoid such attacks.
In addition to protecting organizations against skyrocketing costs associated
with data breaches, Stealth can help healthcare systems and other enterprises
save capital and operating expenses by simplifying network infrastructure. By
providing healthcare organizations with greater assurance that the Stealth
solution is designed to protect their data, it can ease their path toward cloud
computing. Unisys can also facilitate regulatory compliance, enabling the
enforcement of HIPAA rules for data encryption in healthcare.
Matthew Rosen, Fusion's Chief Executive Officer, said, "Never before has it been
more important for enterprises to take serious, comprehensive steps to secure
their data from pernicious hacking and malware attacks. We recognize the
tremendous value of a solution that delivers the highest level of defense grade
security, allowing users to securely work anywhere, on laptops or other portable
media, while remaining concealed, even on the open Internet. Identity-based and
deployed without change to web-enabled applications or infrastructure, Unisys
Stealth can provide cost efficiencies while helping to safeguard customer data
to deliver unprecedented security and peace of mind."
"We look forward to teaming with Fusion to provide the Unisys Stealth Solution
Suite to healthcare providers and other organizations where data protection is
crucial," said Fred Dillman, Chief Technology Officer, Unisys. "This innovative
cybersecurity technology can help address users' growing challenges related to
data security and regulatory compliance without forcing them to make changes to
firewalls and network technology that could disrupt business operations. By
working closely with Fusion, we hope to bring this technology to a broader base
of clients in the healthcare market and beyond."
Fusion and Unisys also plan to offer Unisys services to help clients evaluate,
architect, build, manage and secure cloud environments.
