Las Vegas, Nevada – May 9, 2005. Vanguard Integrity Professionals announced IBM will resell Vanguard’s security software products for administration, reporting, auditing, and intrusion detection for the IBM eServer zSeries. Vanguard’s offerings specifically designed for zSeries will help round out IBM’s broad portfolio of Tivoli security software for all other server platforms.

The Software Reseller Agreement between Vanguard and IBM includes the Vanguard Administrator™, Advisor™, Analyzer™, Enforcer™ and SecurityCenter™.
