Seclore Technologies, a leading provider of Enterprise Digital Rights Management (EDRM) solutions, has appointed Redington Gulf, a top distributor of IT products in the MEA region, as a value added distributor.

Seclore is committing additional investment to expanding and developing its presence and impact in the Middle East, following the recent opening of a new regional office in Dubai, UAE.

Amit Malhotra, VP Sales India Middle East & Africa, Seclore, said: “We are already active in the GCC with a particular focus on the UAE, where our GCC regional office provides technical expertise and support closer to our customers. Data losses are at all-time high and information centric security is gaining momentum, highlighted by the recent global ransomware attacks, so our timing is very appropriate as data security is pushed to the top of the corporate agenda.”

A recent survey from ESG titled “Securing Information in the Age of External Collaboration” concluded that more than one in four companies believes it's very likely that sensitive data has been stolen by third party vendors.

Ninety-eight per cent of respondents cited the loss of sensitive data as a top or significant concern. Commonly stated reasons for data loss include emails sent to the wrong person (67 per cent), unauthorized access (64 per cent) and lost portable storage devices (61 per cent).

Seclore helps organizations secure their sensitive data regardless of how or where it travels, a statement said.

Protection remains with the files when open or stored on mobile devices and laptops and if they are shared via any file sharing service or email solution. File owners can also dynamically modify usage controls or revoke access on previously distributed files.

Ramkumar Balakrishnan, president - Redington Value said: “Cyber security is at an inflection point in Middle East region. Redington, as market leader, is well positioned to deliver Seclore solutions to customers and ensure that all the requirements of the channel are met under one-roof, supported by our in-house pre-sales expertise, regular sales and technical training and programs.”

“This new agreement with Redington will help extend our reach and impact across the region, with almost 1,600 partners across the Middle East and Africa and a range of enterprise customers,” added Rohit Oberoi, director of Channel Sales in India, Middle East and Africa for Seclore. – TradeArabia News Service
