FREMONT, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 27, 2004--Barbedwire Technologies, a leader in Unified Security Appliance solutions that automate network defenses, has notched another quarter with impressive sales growth dating back to the first quarter of 2003. The Company has also more than doubled its sales staff to position itself for continued sales expansion for the remainder of 2004 and into 2005.

"Barbedwire has a lot of momentum right now," said Zia Iqbal, CEO of Barbedwire. "We are continuing our expansion both here and abroad, adding to our sales and support structure, as well as R&D. The release of our DPI50W for the Remote Office Branch Office market is a huge success and we expect to release several more products and solutions over the next few months that will continue to build on our momentum."

"Our sales success may be attributed to the right products at the right time with the right partners taking our security products to the right Market," said Steve Behrens, Vice President of Worldwide Sales & Marketing for Barbedwire. "Our Reseller Channel understands the value built into every Barbedwire DP Inspector appliance and they are leveraging that value into their customer's environments, providing the most complete suite of security solutions that protect against the widest range of security threats all from a single all-in-one appliance platform. The needs of small and medium enterprises (SME) to protect their digital assets are no different from those of F500 companies but until recently there were no unified products that were easy to deploy and manage at a great price. Barbedwire, with its sales success, has proven itself as a leader in providing the right solutions for this market segment."
