New partnership redefines IP security, technology landscape

Issued by Three6five

Johannesburg, 04 Feb 2015

three6five, an IP network services and value-added reseller, is redefining the IP security and technology landscape with the launch of its new Enhanced Security Solutions (ESS) division. This follows a strategic partnership agreement with specialist solutions provider, StarLink.

StarLink is an IT compliance and next-generation threat-driven solutions provider, operating out of the UAE with offices across the Middle East and Africa.

"As the world evolves and information access through mobile devices becomes increasingly important, security challenges are on the rise. Sharing of sensitive data has become a necessity, and at three6five, we have the ability to provide business know-how in securing critical enterprise data," says Tyrone Carroll, CEO of three6five. "With StarLink as a partner, we can assist companies in implementing end-to-end security technologies that address compliance and next-generation threat challenges."

Threats and attacks are increasing and IT security executives face new challenges with trust exploits. While organisations adopt cloud computing and allow employee-owned devices onto the network, the challenge of securing company data increases exponentially.

"StarLink South Africa is delighted to announce its partnership with three6five," says Jacques Slabber, Business Development Manager at Starlink SA. "Its market positioning is well respected and sought after by enterprises and corporates both locally and in neighbouring territories. In addition, the technology expertise within three6five is considerable - hence the company's successful growth in recent years. We believe that StarLink's solutions life cycle of highly pedigreed technologies are well matched to three6five's go-to-market strategy."
