MSI Announces Special Co-Branded Offering for its Clients
Birmingham, AL, October 11, 2006 --(PR.com)-- Marketing Solutions, Inc. (MSI), a provider of browser-based CRM software solutions, announced today that they will begin aggressively promoting the Security Training, Education and Awareness Module (TEAM™) from Digital Defense to all Marketing Solutions clients. Digital Defense, a provider of security compliance and risk management services, launched the Security TEAM service in July 2005 and has seen widespread, cross-market embrace of this educational offering. Currently over 175 organizations have enabled this training solution on their websites resulting in over 1.6 million hits per month on the Security TEAM platform.
“As a TEAM client ourselves, we are thrilled that Digital Defense is making this valuable on-demand service available to our customers. When you couple the educational content of the Security TEAM platform with the special incentives that we have in place for organizations that want to rapidly deploy this service offering, the benefits to our client, and our client’s online user community is significant,” stated Josh Dennis, Executive Vice President at Marketing Solutions. “We want to help our clients and their online users become more security aware. Security TEAM from Digital Defense will allow our clients to quickly rollout this powerful security education program to their client bases.”
Security TEAM is a solution that enables organizations to arm their clients who use online services with the fundamental security education they need to avoid cyber-threats, and thus feel comfortable making use of the investment the organization has made in their online services. Current topics contained within the TEAM application are Online Shopping, Online Banking Myths, ATM and Debit Card Misuse, Online Fraud, Passwords, Viruses/Worms, Trojans & Spyware, Home Firewalls, Securing Home Computers, and Secure Transactions Away from Home. There is a special section related to how to keep from becoming a victim of ID theft and what to do if you fall prey to ID theft. Digital Defense adds new courseware to the TEAM solution every quarter.
“I am pleased about this next phase of our partnership with Marketing Solutions,” said Patrick Shannon, Vice President of Sales at Digital Defense. “Marketing Solutions understands that their customers have a need for easy-to-deploy and effective security education solutions. We are very excited that they have elected to rollout Digital Defense’s Security TEAM™ as the product of choice.”

They formally announced their partnership in June 2006, in order to provide Marketing Solutions’ clients with the ability to purchase Digital Defense’s security compliance offerings as a group.
