Sysorex Partners With Tempered Networks

PALO ALTO, Calif., Dec. 21 — Big data analytics and solutions provider Sysorex (NASDAQ: SYRX) today announced it has entered into a strategic relationship with Seattle-based Tempered Networks, a developer of secure connectivity for business critical infrastructure and information. The relationship allows Sysorex to provide Tempered Networks’ security solutions as part of Sysorex’s Enterprise Managed Services, Big Data and AirPatrol Cybersecurity Platform suites.

“We believe that Sysorex’s highly experienced team paired with Tempered Networks’ industrial and hardened solutions can significantly contribute to securing a company’s connected assets,” said Sysorex Chief Technology Officer Craig Harper. “We expect our relationship with Tempered Networks will play a key role in delivering a timely and compelling value proposition to enterprises concerned with safeguarding business critical assets and communications.”

Sysorex believes that its expertise and Tempered Networks’ security appliance solution meet the network integration challenges facing modern enterprises and aligns them with industry best-practice cyber security standards and architectures. The massive growth of systems, devices and vulnerable endpoints being connected to IP networks is pervasive across the enterprise and all industries. This trend is creating acute security problems with the push to connect everything using IP networks, which are inherently vulnerable, as well as mobile and cloud computing.

“Whether it’s protecting high value intellectual property, ATM systems, or securing sensitive data over WiFi, enterprises need a more effective cyber security solution,” said Lee Finck, Vice President for Strategic Partners and Channel Sales at Tempered Networks. “We believe that Sysorex and Tempered Networks together provide a uniquely secure solution with Sysorex’s AirPatrol ZoneDefense product. We give customers the ability to “cloak” remote devices or device groups – allowing communication with trusted identities across the network,” added Finck.

Named 2014 North American Entrepreneurial Company of the Year by Frost and Sullivan and a SC Magazine 2015 Security Innovator, Tempered Networks continues to be recognized for its unique approach to safeguarding high value systems, endpoints and communications. The company’s break-through technology is well suited for any industry across the commercial, industrial and public sectors.

About Tempered Networks

Tempered Networks, is focused on meeting the cyber security and connectivity needs for organizations that require uncompromised protection for their business critical infrastructure, endpoints and assets. Our next generation security platform enables organizations to rapidly deploy identity-based overlay networks to “cloak” trusted endpoints, networks and assets. The solution starts with Zero Trust, only allowing explicitly trusted (whitelisted) systems or endpoints onto a Tempered overlay network. Cloaking means there is no TCP/IP footprint for your trusted devices—making them invisible to any untrusted device or system. Headquartered in Seattle, visit www.temperednetworks.com.
