SOMERSET, N.J. – July 14, 2003 –Netilla® Networks,
Inc., the SSL VPN leader that provides secure remote access to the
widest set of enterprise applications, today announced it has appointed
Bryan Bain as vice president, business development. A broadly experienced
sales and business development executive, Bain will focus on extending
Netilla’s strategic partnerships with technology vendors to meet
increasing customer demands for turnkey remote access solutions.
Bain joins Netilla from Array Networks, an SSL VPN and web traffic
management solutions provider, where he served as regional vice president
of sales and business development with responsibility for North American
business development and East Coast sales operations. Previously, Bain
was managing director of North American sales and business development
for Alteon WebSystems, where he established business partnerships,
developed strategic accounts and built the sales organization that
helped take the company public. He has also held executive sales and
business development posts with Bay Networks, SynOptics Communications
and Redback Networks.
“Bryan’s depth of experience and extensive industry contacts
will keep Netilla ahead of the curve by forging new strategic partnerships
that will let us integrate and optimize our versatile SSL VPN solution
with other key enterprise technologies,” said Don Sullivan, executive
vice president of worldwide sales and marketing at Netilla. “Our
customers will benefit from these alliances that combine the value
of Netilla’s versatile SSL VPN platform with other leading security
and networking vendors.”
“While the entire area of clientless VPNs is growing rapidly,
Netilla offers something most other vendors can’t match: secure
remote access to virtually any corporate enterprise application, not
just the much smaller subset of intranet applications,” said
Bain. “That unmatched versatility, along with Netilla’s
strong customer roster, is what attracted me to the company. I look
forward to driving additional technology alliances that will extend
Netilla’s lead.”
Netilla’s current technology partnerships include RSA Security,
Aladdin, VASCO and Wyse Technology. Bain will reinforce those partnerships
while creating new alliances.
In May, Netilla announced the Netilla Security Platform Release 4.0,
which combines secure remote access to the broadest range of applications
with comprehensive user authentication and policy capabilities. With
Release 4, Netilla added two important new capabilities to its browser-based
VPN: secure access to enterprise intranet and Web applications via
HTTP reverse proxy, and application synchronization via Netilla’s
unique Virtual Adapter, which allows users to connect any local desktop
application to central servers through an encrypted SSL tunnel. These
new features augment Netilla’s longstanding ability to provide
clientless remote access to centralized client/server and legacy applications
running on mainframe, UNIX, Linux and Microsoft Windows servers.
