Dan Riehl's IT Security and Compliance Group to represent feature-rich security offerings of French firm.
Dan Riehl, the founder and former president of the PowerTech Group, has made the move to become the head of U.S. operations for Cilasoft Security Solutions. Not long after PowerTech was acquired by Help/Systems in late 2008, Riehl left to form the IT Security and Compliance Group (www.SecureMyi.com). The company's mission is to provide firms with IBM System i security and audit services. Riehl has now added Cilasoft software to his arsenal of service offerings to bring what he calls the best security software and services available to System i customers.
Cilasoft (www.Cilasoft.com) is an international software company based in France that specializes in security, audit, and compliance software for the IBM System i platform, also known as the iSeries and AS/400. Cilasoft is a proven expert in the realm of System i Security, having been involved with numerous investigations and bank fraud cases. The company has clients in more than 40 countries around the globe, ranging from small businesses to large multinational corporations.
"Since I left PowerTech, I have evaluated numerous System i security software solutions from various vendors," says Riehl. "Each package and vendor that I evaluated has its good points. But after long review, I will be recommending and actively selling the Cilasoft security product line to my customers. In functional areas where Cilasoft does not have a product offering—as in the profile swap, authority broker, and anti-virus areas—I will continue to recommend the PowerTech Help/Systems brand.
"The Cilasoft product that really caught my attention is QJRN/400," Riehl says. "It is a database change auditing tool that has all the bells and whistles. It is so rich in feature and function that when compared to other similar offerings, it wins hands down," he says.
"The other major Cilasoft offering, CONTROLER, is unique in the way it controls and monitors STRSQL, ODBC, DRDA, TELNET and CL command usage," says Riehl. "Cilasoft has introduced a completely new paradigm in its CONTROLER and QJRN/400 products that make auditing and controlling these interfaces highly customizable, yet simple enough so you don't have to be a System i technical expert to configure the monitoring and protection required in today's heavily regulated environments."
Cilasoft President Guy Marmorat said, "I am very pleased that Dan Riehl has agreed to be our head of U.S. operations. Dan brings to Cilasoft his worldwide reputation as a top System i security expert. In addition, he has the experience and business savvy in the U.S. that fills in the missing piece as Cilasoft endeavors to become the American standard for excellence in security and compliance software for the IBM System i."
Riehl notes that Cilasoft has had a low profile within the US security software marketplace due to the company's focus on the international banking community. With the firm's recent appearances at COMMON, and other System i events in the U.S., and with the appointment of Riehl's IT Security and Compliance Group as its main U.S. conduit for sales and support, Riehl says Cilasoft is entering the U.S. marketplace primed for success.
