EKC selected Vanguard to acquire its product line because of Vanguard’s long-standing commitment to the z/OS security marketplace. ”Vanguard has been a valued member of the security community for many decades also, and as such, we are confident that they will continue to provide the fine level of support our valued customers have come to expect over these past decades,” says Eberhard Klemens, President and Founder of EKC.

Vanguard plans to support, maintain, and enhance the EKC product line, providing the enterprise security marketplace the level of service expected from both EKC and Vanguard.

Both companies share a foundation of knowledge, experience, and innovation, and both companies still have an actual human person answer the phones when it rings,” explained Brian Marshall, President of Vanguard.
