Appointment of Mujin Systems as IntelliGuard’s Korean Distributor and Director of Sales

13 Mar 2008 - IntelliGuard announced today that it has appointed network security specialist Mujin Systems as its Korean distributor and Stephen Kim as director of Korean sales for IntelliGuard’s Korean office.

Stephen Kim obtained his Master of Engineering degree from Seoul National University majoring in Computer Engineering and is a former Torinet Systems CEO, Raonet Systems project manager, and Daewoo Telecom software engineer. He will be responsible for IntelliGuard’s marketing activities, and pre- and post-sales support including demonstrations, proof of concept trials, and training. His company, Mujin Systems, will distribute IntelliGuard products and appoint resellers throughout Korea.

Mr Kim says: “For years I’ve witnessed a growing demand for DDoS-mitigation solutions from local network operators. IntelliGuard’s DPS technology is outstanding, and I expect it will be leading the market for years to come.  It incorporates powerful and novel technology, and to our mind is easily the best DDoS solution available. We surveyed a range of Korean firms who we think could benefit most from it, and received a very positive response. Having now signed on as a distributor we look forward to demonstrating the technology to them”.
"It’s a pleasure to work with Stephen and partner with Mujin,” comments IntelliGuard CEO Ken Baker. “They tick all the boxes, having the technical knowledge to understand the DPS technology, the experience to sell it, and access to the market. The Korean market was always a priority for us, and Mr Kim’s security expertise and local knowledge make him the ideal person to lead our Korean operations.”
