ATLANTA and LONDON, July 13, 2015/ PRN=KYODO JBN/ --

   New Identity Reflects Mission to Provide Absolute Line of Defense Against

Security Breaches and Faulty Mobile Experiences; Aims to Tighten Grip on Data

Privacy Protection and Regulatory Compliance in U.S.  

   Effective today, the software division of Regenersis, a global provider of

device diagnostics, repair and data erasure services, announces it has a new

name - Blancco Technology Group (www.blanccotechnologygroup.com). This rebrand

signals a deliberate move to recast the company into a new role - acting as a

guardian of electronic assets and mobile functionality for enterprise

businesses.

   According to International Data Corporation (IDC), 334.4 million smartphones

were shipped worldwide in the first quarter of 2015. At the same time, shorter

life expectancies and replacement cycles for phones are fueling a boom in

second-hand smartphone sales worldwide. To be specific, Gartner estimates the

worldwide market for refurbished phones sold to end-users will grow to 120

million units by 2017.

   That's where Blancco Technology Group fills a pressing and unmet need.

Through its expanded data erasure and mobile diagnostics service offering, the

unified company maximizes the functionality and resale value of devices, while

preventing leaks of sensitive personal and corporate information before devices

are traded in, sold, recycled, destroyed or reused.

   As part of the rebrand, Pat Clawson has been named CEO of Blancco Technology

Group. Most recently, he served as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of

Lumension Inc., where he successfully grew the business to strong revenue

growth and profitability. With more than 20 years of software industry

experience, Clawson has established himself as an IT security pundit among some

of the world's most influential brands, analysts and press.  

   "While our business has traditionally been rooted in Europe - both from a

customer base and sales perspective - we're now ready to address the needs of

organizations globally," said Blancco Technology Group CEO, Patrick Clawson.

"When you look at the types of international regulations and the

soon-to-be-launched EU General Data Protection Regulation, it's quite clear

that the U.S. trails far behind its European counterparts in data privacy

protection and regulatory compliance."

   Unlike any other security organization, Blancco Technology Group holds

certifications, approvals and recommendations from 19 national and

international governing bodies, including the United States Department of

Defense, NATO, Common Criteria and UK Ministry of Defense.

   "Rather than expound on best practices from afar, we plan to actively assist

government officials in drafting, enacting and monitoring security legislation,

while improving the lines of communication and collaboration between the

private and public sectors," affirmed Clawson. More specifically, Clawson is

resolved to change the security landscape, both in the U.S. and across the

globe, by empowering businesses and consumers alike to protect their data with

absolute certainty and a 100% tamper-proof audit trail.
