CA launches direct presence in Egypt

CA (NYSE: CA), one of the world's largest IT management software companies today announced the launch of its direct presence in Egypt with a partner showcase for its protection software solutions at the Cairo Marriott Hotel.

The event focused on the latest CA Protection Suites r2.0 for SMB customers, providing channel partners with interactive demonstrations on the suite's functionality and key benefits. CA also unveiled its corporate Integrated Threat Management r8 (ITMr8) security solution which provides comprehensive and scalable protection against viruses, malware, spyware, rootkits, blended threats, and other forms of malicious code.

Toni Prince, CA's Regional Manager for Egypt and the Levant said,

"We are pleased to launch our direct presence in Egypt, one of the biggest markets in the region, with close to 2 million registered SMBs according to the Egyptian Ministry of Trade and Industry. It was therefore important for us to share with key channel partners the latest security and data backup offerings from CA so that they can help those SMBs protect their growing businesses with simplified, cost-effective solutions. Similarly, ITMr8 enables corporate customers in Egypt to effectively minimize risk and downtime while reducing security workloads."


The Protection Suites r2.0 is a fully backup, antivirus, antispyware, and desktop migrator integrated solution with a 'single install' and a 'single console' for the server as well as the desktop. This removes the complications resulting from the installation of multiple software applications.

CA's ITMr8 security solution works by unifying new versions of CA eTrust PestPatrol Anti-Spyware Corporate Edition and CA eTrust Antivirus through a centralized web-based console allowing administrators to resolve threats from anywhere on the network. Moreover it also allows a single administrator to manage an entire network supporting thousands of users thereby reducing operational costs and fully safeguarding critical systems.
