Martin Viselka, CEO bw distribution AG
"The Swiss corporate environment is characterised by medium and small sized enterprises. Rarely do these have large IT departments. However, there are, particularly for this market, scarcely any high-performance security solutions that combine high end virus protection and usability on the necessary scale. G DATA Network solutions fill this gap in the market. The amount of administration required is, by comparison with other products, small, without the need for any compromise where security is concerned. It is exactly this combination that convinced us."

Matthias Malcher, G DATA Country Manager Switzerland
"We are pleased that we have now, in bw distribution, gained an important IT security distributor for Switzerland. We expect a further push for our B2B business based on this new partnership. The Swiss IT market has a very large growth potential, especially in respect of medium sized enterprises. Here, G DATA is almost alone in offering ideal solutions."
