DeepNines Selects Shelton for Public
Relations Representation Integrated communications firm to implement strategic PR program
and product launch for network security software provider
DALLAS: DeepNines Technologies, a network security
systems provider, has selected Shelton, an integrated communications firm
providing strategic public relations (PR), investor relations (IR), creative
design, and marketing for high-tech companies as its PR agency of record. This
decision follows a comprehensive agency review process.
“DeepNines has a unique and important message to convey: router security is the
next vital step in protecting enterprise networks. We feel that Shelton has the
right mix of a strong reputation with the media, coupled with a solid track
record in supporting successful technology companies like DeepNines to help us
get that message to the right audience,” stated Dan Jackson, president and COO
of DeepNines. “Shelton demonstrated a good balance between strategy and a
strong, highly differentiated technology background, which made them an easy
choice. With the support of Shelton’s knowledgeable and experienced staff, we
are confident that, in conjunction with our upcoming product launch, our message
will reverberate throughout the industry and help us further build our brand.”
Founded in 1999, DeepNines Technologies has pioneered the Security Edge
Platform™ (SEP), which converges critical security functions into a single
appliance that sits at the network edge in front of the router. The DeepNines
SEP provides security for both known and unknown attacks including DoS, DDoS,
worms and viruses. In addition, the SEP uses Zero Footprint Technology to
prevent hackers from exploiting router vulnerabilities. Because the SEP
functions as a single security system, it operates more efficiently than
multiple, disparate point products commonly found in today’s enterprise
networks.
“This an excellent opportunity for Shelton and we look forward to a long-term
partnership with DeepNines as we drive its highly anticipated product launch and
help expand the company’s reputation and brand recognition,” said Stacey
Gaswirth, executive vice president of Shelton. “With Shelton’s combination of
expertise and relationships within the media and technology sector, we are
poised to help DeepNines further establish itself as the industry’s first and
only ‘edge’ network security solutions provider.”
