Speaking on behalf of Fullex, technical
sales consultant, Ian Southall said: “Security is
critical to our product development. We have
always been known as a ‘belt & braces’ brand
and when the chance to work with the SBD
team arose, 20-odd years ago, we welcomed
the opportunity to improve security standards
right across the industry. We’re incredibly
proud of our long association with SBD, and
the part we have played in raising the bar
and changing preconceptions of hardware
security.”
