Regenersis Software Division Announces New Name - Blancco Technology Group

ATLANTA and LONDON, July 13, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

      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 (http://www.blanccotechnologygroup.com [http://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.
