    <title>David Collins' Instablog</title>
    <description>I am an investor relations consultant with over 25 years of experience working for over 100 companies across a range of industries.  In April 2012 I left my prior firm (which I co-founded in 1994) to launch Catalyst Global with two new colleagues.  Our goal is to combine senior level experience and problem solving with the evolving shape of today's markets to meet the increasingly underserved needs of small-cap and micro-cap companies.  We take a long term approach to building visibility, relationships and credibility for our clients - and we do so with integrity, gentle candor and a focus on true program ROI.

I am posting on Seeking Alpha in an effort to get client stories and other stories I like in front of a broader base of investors.  Networking ideas is a key function of an investor relations pro - plus it's fun.

Enjoy.</description>

Samsung has decided to produce trusted platform module (TPM) security chips, which are the building block of trusted computing. In May, following its development, Samsung licensed Wave's client software to manage TPMs.</p><p>As for the Lenovo deal, their news release quotation says it best: &quot;Gaining direct access to Wave's endpoint security solutions means Lenovo customers now have a one-stop-shop to purchase PCs bundled with Wave's robust security and management solutions,&quot; said Wes Williams, Director of Ecosystems &amp; Monetization Marketing Operations, Lenovo. &quot;This agreement greatly simplifies the buying process for our customers who use Wave solutions to activate and manage SEDs, along with TPMs for persistent and unique identity, as well as the early detection of Advanced Persistent Threats.&quot;</p><p>Micron's comment from the release: &quot;Preventing data breaches is priority number one for today's enterprise organizations,&quot; said Justin Sykes, General Manager of client SSDs at Micron. &quot;We're pleased to see Wave partner with a key customer of ours to bring greater accessibility to flash-based SEDs, which offer the single best combination of security and performance.
