Independent information security solutions distribution company, Condyn, in conjunction with Symantec, a global leader within the security, storage and systems management solutions sector, has entered into a strategic partnership which will see Condyn having a significant reseller relationship with Symantec - to deliver comprehensive security solutions to the South African as well as African market.
Jorina van Rensburg, CEO of Condyn, says the Symantec partnership brings Condyn a security specialist vendor that will further enhance and grow their current solutions offering.
“At Condyn, strategic partnerships are not entered into lightly because it costs money, time, resources as well as reputational risk. After a rigorous evaluation process of Symantec's product offerings, technical expertise as well as company culture, we are confident that Condyn and Symantec make a good fit. Together we can provide a very strong solutions offering to the market,” she says.
Patrick Evans, regional director for Symantec Africa, says the partnership is significant for the company as well as for the industry at large.
“The security landscape has changed significantly in the last three years, increasing the requirement for strong security solutions and policies within organisations. We have seen a shift from Security 1.0 to Security 2.0, which means that hacker activity for notoriety purposes has moved to malicious activities aimed at stealing personal information and money.
“These attacks have become increasingly sophisticated, targeted and silent. As a software security vendor, we need a reseller community that is highly skilled and technically capable to implement complex solutions to deal with these threats,” he says.
Van Rensburg concludes: “Symantec is a very passionate organisation which fits in with the Condyn culture, and I believe that will drive the partnership forward. I am looking forward to the synergies this agreement will yield.”
