Redington Value, the value-added distribution division of Redington Gulf, a leading IT distributor in the Middle East and Africa, has signed three new partnerships at this year’s edition of the Gulf Information Security Expo and Conference (Gisec 2015), which concludes today (April 28) in Dubai, UAE.

The company entered into strategic distribution agreements with leading IT security vendors Shavlik, Fidelis and Niksun.

Shavlik is a pioneer in agentless endpoint patching technology, virtualisation security, and third party patching for Microsoft Configuration Manager (SCCM) customers, while Fidelis Cybersecurity provides organisations with a robust, comprehensive portfolio of products, services, and expertise to combat today's sophisticated advanced threats and prevent data breaches.

Niksun is a recognised global leader in cyber security and network monitoring solutions--offering a highly scalable array of real time and forensics-based cyber security and network performance management solutions for government and intelligence agencies, service providers, financial services companies, and large enterprises such as retailers and manufacturers.

Its participation at the region’s premiere IT security event allowed the company to throw the spotlight on its latest portfolio of state-of-the-art security, cyber security and cloud solutions, which can be used to effectively combat the increasing cases of advanced threats and attacks.
 
Industry experts present at the three-day IT security event lauded Redington Value’s latest agreements, pointing out the importance of being able to offer today’s enterprises with world-class, fully efficient and reliable security solutions to protect their businesses.

According to a recent report from Markets & Markets, the Middle East region’s cyber security industry is expected to account for more than $9.56 billion in the next four years—growing at a compounded annual growth rate of 13.07 per cent from 2014 to 2019.

The industry’s expected growth is further driven by the increasing demand for security solutions that can withstand a constantly growing sophistication of cybersecurity breaches, including malware and phishing attacks.
 
Ramkumar Balakrishnan, president, said: “Being present at this year’s Gisec proves to be a timely and strategic move for us as we are bringing and making available the latest state-of-the-art security, cyber security, and cloud innovations for Middle East enterprises.

“Businesses today should be more vigilant in maintaining and securing information that deals with management, governance, enablement and execution. It is vital to stay current on trends and malware distribution patterns and take a prevention-centric approach to securing their organisation. The three new distributorship agreements that we have signed offers more security solutions that businesses today can rely on—ensuring that their data and information is free from any cyber attack.” - TradeArabia News Service
