Clavister today announced that ITC-ILO (International Training Centre of the International Labour Organization) in Turin yet again has chosen Clavister to secure their network. The choice of Clavister results in that Clavister firewalls will be used to protect ITC-ILO´s networks during the Winter Olympic Games of 2006 in Turin, Italy.

ITC-ILO in Turin have chosen Clavister products as main solution for their network security installation by deciding to upgrade its firewalling system to Clavister's new top level Software Security Gateway series. Clavister is one of few firewall manufacturers in the world offering a complete line of security appliances in combination with pure software solutions, targeting virtually every potential request of the market. Clavister Security Gateway Series is the ideal solution in cases like ITC-ILO, where continuously evolving requirements must be kept compatible with the return of investment. No other solution is able to match the flexibility of Clavister X-PANSION LINES® which makes it possible to upgrade the technical features in the security product, and thereby transfer from one model to another with minimum effort and at a very low cost of ownership.

"It's a major point for us all at Clavister, especially for the local office Clavister Italy and our partner Gruppo Tesi, the fact that such an important and well known organisation like ITC-ILO have chosen Clavister technology for one of its most significant premises. And I'm still more pleased knowing that our Security Gateway solutions will be used to protect ITC-ILO´s network during the Winter Olympic Games of 2006," says Niccolò Galimberti Country Manager, Clavister Italy.

"After more than one year of using Clavister Software firewalls in High Availability configuration at our centre, I confirm that it completely fulfils our requirements of high security, high performance and high scalability and that the technical assistance provided by Clavister Italia has often been indispensable to solve our security problems," says Dr. Luigi Castagna, Network and Security Manager at ITC-ILO in Turin.
