appointed a leading Zimbabwe security software company as its official distributor.
Under the deal, Integrated Digital Security Solutions (IDSS), will sell a range of Cyberoam security software appliances in Zimbabwe.
Cyberoam international business development head Harish Chib said the partnership would enable the Zimbabwean firm, which has an active range of IT solutions, to offer innovative, dynamic and successful solutions to clients.
“Zimbabwe is the key market for Cyberoam in the region. The ICT market in Zimbabwe is surely going to grow with many companies from South Africa investing in the region. With such a potential for network security, we were looking for a suitable distributor in the region,” he said.
“IDSS was a perfect fit for us. They already have an experience of network security distribution and that will be beneficial for both of us to achieve the required targets from the region. We are sure of giving Cyberoam’s next generation technology and IDSS’s proactive services to our partners and customers.”
Cyberoam, is one of the fastest growing network security vendors across the globe.
It is the only IT security UTM vendor that enables companies to get complete visibility into their user activities in the network.
Cyberoam UTM has a range of appliances that suit requirements of small to large companies.
It has its presence in more than 90 countries and is the recipient of 2008 Asia Pacific Frost & Sullivan Emerging Network Security Vendor of the Year Award. IDSS chief executive Mr Onias Ndebele was upbeat about the new deal.
“We are an experienced company in the distribution of IT security solutions. We offer more than just security products to our partners and customers.
“The demand of integrated network security appliances is increasing in the region,” he said.
“The inclusion of Cyberoam in our portfolio will help us to cater for the demand. Cyberoam appliances, with comprehensive network security features in a single box and its next generation identity based technology will give robust security to networks in Zimbabwe.”
Mr Ndebele said that the partnership would impact on the Zimbabwean market through exciting product architecture, availability and efficiency in delivery.
“The Cyberoam/IDSS partnership will provide clients access to Cyberoam security software solutions and create short but seamless turnaround time (TAT) in service delivery of Cyberoam Portfolio,” he said
He also noted that the depth of the Cyberoam range of appliances would certainly enable clients to handle tougher challenges they face when it comes to Anti-Virus and Internet security solutions.
