Net Security Firm Joins MCI Alliance

V-One Corp., a provider of network security technology to several major banks and other leading corporations, said it has joined the MCI Communications Corp. sales alliance program.

Going beyond an existing reseller agreement, the companies said they will mount an aggressive marketing effort aimed primarily at Fortune 500 companies and money-center banks.

V-One is perhaps best known for its SmartWall firewall system and SmartGate client/server security system, of which Version 2.2 for the Internet and intranets was recently released.

"MCI is committed to enabling the Internet for business," said Vint Cerf, an Internet pioneer who is MCI's senior vice president of data architecture. "V-One's products provide security capabilities necessary to make this vision a reality for our customers."
