21 Feb AccessData signs ARM as MEA distributor
AccessData recently signed ARM, as its Middle East and Africa (MEA) distribution partner.
According to their partnership, ARM will be responsible for business development, and market expansion and assist AccessData in building the channel partner community in the region through a partner recruitment drive.
Simon Whitburn, Senior Vice President and General Manager, of AccessData, said: “Traditionally we invested in a very small number of technology partners because our heritage business in the forensics space was very niche and focused almost entirely on the law enforcement vertical. However, our operations in the Middle East now need to be driven by a larger channel base. This is because the corporate sector in the region demands the capability to conduct their own in-house digital investigations, as well as in-house rapid detection and response to defend against hackers, malware and advanced persistent threats.”
Robert Brown, Executive Director, ARM added: “AccessData’s forensics and cyber security solutions portfolio is unique. There are companies that compete with AccessData in the different segments, but there is no one that goes from detection all the way to remediation and allows you to effectively use one interface to manage everything. We will focus exclusively on AccessData for at least the first year.”
