RENO, Nev., Aug. 27, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- BlackRidge Technology International Inc. (OTCQB: BRTI), a leading provider of next-generation cyber defense solutions, has signed a reseller agreement with I-ON Communications Co. Ltd. to deliver BlackRidge's portfolio of enhanced cybersecurity solutions, including its recently released TAC Identity Device, through its I-ON Energy Management network and expand its presence in Korea and other markets where I-ON is engaged with electricity companies.



"BlackRidge's approach to zero-trust through network layer security is a solution the electricity market has been desperately looking for," said Jae Cheol ("James") Oh, chairman and CEO of I-ON Communications.
