Demand for higher levels of e-mail security in medium and large enterprises has risen dramatically in recent months, following a wave of so-called 'phishing' attacks, designed to steal personal data and hack into files.
OnLine Distribution is rapidly becoming the Middle East's leading distributor of security technology whilst CipherTrust is the market leader in messaging security appliances - its award-winning IronMail appliance protects over 10 million enterprise e-mail users worldwide from viruses, spam and outside intrusion.
Working together, the two companies aim to increase the depth of security offered to companies in the region whilst concurrently raising awareness of the threats posed to organizations from hackers and so-called 'zombie' networks.
'Organizations in the Middle East are increasingly looking for solutions which ensure operational integrity and protection from hackers and viruses,' said Venu Menon, Middle East Divisional Director at OnLine Distribution.
'Our security portfolio is one of the most advanced of any distributor operating in the region and now - with the addition of CipherTrust technology - we are working with one of the world's most effective e-mail security systems,' he added.
'We are very excited about the partnership between CipherTrust and On-Line Distribution. Online Distribution has an excellent reputation and an established reseller base that will strengthen IronMail's growth in the Middle East,' commented Oliver Carter, Director of Channels at CipherTrust.
'On-Line Distribution extends our portfolio of quality distributors for CipherTrust in EMEA and provides us with a particularly strong partner for the security channel in the Middle East.'
