Leading sub-Saharan e-security expert, AfricaSD, has added the comprehensive suite of GFI products to its portfolio of world-class network security solutions. The GFI suite, which covers messaging as well as network and content security, has already proved itself popular in Africa and established a healthy community of loyal users convinced of its quality.
"GFI was the ideal choice for AfricaSD for two reasons," confirms Hennie Moolman, Managing Director of Centurion-based AfricaSD. "Obviously, there is the GFI suite`s proven quality in the marketplace, which matches our reputation for supplying superior products, but the range is also one of the most comprehensive and that is important because AfricaSD is also known for its ability to offer organisations the most complete `total e-security solution`."
Founded in 1992, GFI is an extremely attractive solution for the daily business continuity and productivity tasks faced by administrators in all size organisations. Network security is comprehensively addressed with the GFi LANguard family of products, including GFi Network Security Scanner, GFi Security Event Log Monitor, GFi Portable Storage Control and GFi Network Server Monitor. Content security is assured with GFi MailSecurity and GFi WebMonitor, while general messaging needs are addressed with the GFi MailEssentials, GFi FAXmaker and GFi MailArchiver suite of technology for Microsoft Exchange/SMTP. An exciting new addition to the GFI suite is EndPointSecurity, which controls a wide range of consumer electronic devices.
"It also made sense for GFI to partner with AfricaSD because of its reputation for delivering quality and ability to back it up with world-class technical and sales training," explains Moolman. "GFI is a channel-focused company and needed an organisation in the region with an established, first-class channel programme. AfricaSD has been able to establish such a programme not only because it offers partners and resellers very high margins, but because they can also take advantage of its unique training expertise."
