F-Secure(R) Corporation (HEX:FSC) and REDPLAID(TM) Managed Hosting today announced a strategic partnership to offer F-Secure Server Antivirus Protection to thousands of REDPLAID dedicated server hosting customers. F-Secure's security software will protect REDPLAID's Windows and Linux servers from Internet threats such as viruses, trojans, and worms. By adding F-Secure's antivirus solution to REDPLAID's RELENTLESS SECURITY solutions, REDPLAID customers can focus on their core business and be sure that their REDPLAID managed servers are protected by the most powerful and complete security offerings.

F-Secure has provided REDPLAID with its F-Secure Server Antivirus Protection -- a solution designed to allow managed service providers to offer their hosting customers a complete, award-winning security solution against viruses, outside attacks, and harmful content around the clock. The solution provides first-class automated security services and is included in REDPLAID's Platinum Support, Titanium Support and REDSHEILD Fully Managed Support plans.

"We continually strive to deliver the industry's most reliable, affordable, responsive and secure managed hosting solutions. For that reason it was a simple choice to add F-Secure to our portfolio of offerings," said Craig Rodenberg, vice president of information Security at REDPLAID. "I have personally used solutions from F-Secure's major competitors, and F-Secure's security solution wins hands down. It is easy to use, hassle free and most importantly the most reliable. Our customers can count on F-Secure to consistently and quickly detect and defend malware threats, while working quietly and quite efficiently in the background without hogging system resources."

"We are delighted to be working with REDPLAID. We believe that they are a well-positioned partner for our managed services solution. Their flexible business model is well suited to our business offering and we look forward to a robust and profitable partnership," said Curtis Cresta, vice president and general manager, North America.
