Leading sub-Saharan network security expert, AfricaSD, has been named African Partner of the Year at the inaugural Kaspersky Lab Middle East and Africa region Partner Conference 2009.
The award recognises AfricaSD's considerable contribution to the rapid growth of Kaspersky Lab's business across the region and was announced during the event held at the Burj Al Arab - the world's only seven star hotel, in Dubai, from 3 to 7 May 2009.
Founder and Managing Director of AfricaSD, Hennie Moolman, credits the expertise, hard work and unflagging enthusiasm of the entire AfricaSD team with the achievement. “We are honoured and delighted that our efforts have been recognised and appreciated by Kaspersky Lab with the conferring of this award,” he enthuses. “Like so many organisations, we have faced very tough conditions, but the team has worked really hard and their efforts have paid off.”
The African Partner of the Year award, shared with Biodata IT, acknowledges AfricaSD's exceptional professionalism and ongoing commitment to providing outstanding data-security solutions based on Kaspersky Lab products. “We are always confident recommending Kaspersky solutions because they offer the very best in Internet security from a firm recognised as one of the top global developers of advanced anti-virus solutions,” explains Moolman.
Moolman also attributes the rapid growth of Kaspersky Lab's business across the region to the fact that African businesses are now starting to wake up to the potential impact of cyber attacks and are beginning to raise the necessary fortifications to protect themselves.
