Following short on the heels of McAfee's acquisition of two market-leading solutions in the field of network security, Nclose beds down its strategic partnership with McAfee South Africa.
A world leader in security information and event management, Nitro (now known as McAfee ESM) is known among security experts as the standard in SIEM (security information and event management). Complementing this comprehensive offering, Sentrigo leads the database security pack with a series of products that deliver intuitive, easy-to-use security for a wide range of databases.
Together, these two additions to the already formidable McAfee stable mean customers choosing to make use of McAfee-based solutions are left with peace of mind - knowing their valuable data is in safe hands.
"Nclose has always been aware of McAfee's deep understanding of the South African market, and we are very excited to be able to offer their comprehensive product set to our customers," Martin Potgieter, Nclose Director, says. "With the newly added database and SIEM components in their arsenal, the McAfee suite is perfectly rounded and has found a comfortable place in the set of solutions we offer."
McAfee's strong local presence also means that strategic partners such as Nclose are able to pass excellent response times and support on to their customers. And the fact that McAfee products integrate well with other solutions offered by Nclose means existing clients are able to mix and match products in order to achieve a tailored, effective approach to emerging legislative requirements such as the Protection of Personal Information Act - soon to be enacted in South Africa.
The network security market features several strong contenders - all with highly credible and proven solutions. Nclose's decision to partner with McAfee is the result of a careful assessment led by the unique needs of its existing and future customers' needs.
Stephen Osler, Nclose Director, believes network security management is 40% response to threats and issues that make themselves known in the here and now, and 60% looking ahead at what the future of network security holds.
"We feel very strongly that McAfee's product offering matches this view, and it has allowed us to expand on our product range in order to provide our customers with higher and more secure levels of protection than before," Stephen says. "As a strategic partner, we are also left with little doubt that our customer recommendations are based on world-class, bullet-proof approaches that provide relentless network protection at many levels."
McAfee solutions provide clearly quantifiable protection that is easy to measure on a cost-benefit basis, and Nclose is ready to discuss your needs with you at your earliest convenience.
