Anonymizer.com allows users to surf the web privately and securely, protecting their identity and online experience from unwanted attacks or intrusions.  Currently used by surfers to privacy-protect 60 million web pages a month,  Anonymizer is an entirely web-based service requiring no software downloads or client-side configuration and with no platform limitations.

"Consumers are demanding individual privacy and corporations need to continually be at the forefront of Internet security.  There is a lack of understanding of the importance of privacy and security in Asia Pacific. With over 60 million page views per month, Anonymizer is perfectly placed to enter the region after successfully operating in the United States for over 5 years" said Marc Phillips, CEO of APT Strategies.

"Privacy awareness is beginning to explode in the Asia Pacific as it has in the United States and Europe," said Lance Cottrell, President and founder of Anonymizer.com. "With APT as a partner, Anonymizer.com will be able to take full advantage of this trend and become the name in Internet Privacy in the Asia Pacific."

Anonymizer.com (http://www.anonymizer.com) now makes its security technology available to enterprises seeking to offer cost-effective privacy protection to their customers or employees. Anonymizer is currently selecting partners to license their technology in Asia Pacific.
