Nclose achieves Kaspersky Lab's Platinum Partner status

Johannesburg, 18 Mar 2014

Nclose is pleased to announce that it has achieved Kaspersky Lab's Platinum Partner status. As the first security specialist in Africa to confirm a relationship of this nature with this innovative security giant, Nclose is uniquely positioned to provide its customers an unmatched level of premium service and support - underpinned by a direct line to Kasperky Lab's international technical headquarter base.

Kaspersky Lab is one of the fastest growing IT security vendors worldwide, and one of the world's top four leading vendors of security solutions for endpoint users. Kaspersky Lab's product offering has become increasingly focused on the corporate world, where more than 250 000 international clients currently benefit from its industry defining approach to effective network security.

"At Nclose we are very happy with this recognition by Kaspersky Lab," says Martin Potgieter, Nclose Director. "Our shared views on how to approach the South African market make for a perfect match, and the high regard in which we hold their product suite makes us dedicated to assisting our customer base with appropriate solutions that we are able to service in ways that only Nclose is able to offer."

"Nclose's history with Kaspersky Lab stretches as far back as 2007, and we're able to confirm that Nclose customers who initially select Kaspersky Lab as their security platform do not move to other platforms - even after extended periods of time," Stephen Osler, Nclose Director points out. "This trend is thanks to an extremely competitive list of services, excellent support, and flexibility - together ensuring that Kaspersky Lab is comfortably positioned in the Leaders Quadrant of the Gartner Magic Quadrant."

Says Riaan Badenhorst, Managing Director for Kaspersky Lab, Africa: "Having announced our renewed Partner Programme to the market towards the end of last year, we are pleased to welcome Nclose with a new status - as a Platinum Partner. Our pursuit in building a strong partner community has always been one of the key principles of our strategy, and we are happy that partners like Nclose can bring our products to a wide range of customers along with a very high quality of services."

Kaspersky Lab offers much more than simple virus protection, extending well into territories belonging to device management, application whitelisting, vulnerability and patch management and other bespoke forms of end point security. When paired with Ncloses's diverse range of security and data protection solutions, customers can choose the security solutions that address their requirements.
