Performanta - now a Cape Town corporate citizen

Johannesburg, 23 Jan 2014

Performanta - a well-established information security provider and partner to leading industry technologies like McAfee, Websense, Checkpoint, CyberArk, Tufin, Venafi, etc, in both local and foreign markets, is proud to announce its expansion into the Western Cape region.

Performanta provides information security solutions across various business disciplines and has to date never failed to deliver on its customer expectations.

The company hereby proudly announces its first additions to the Performanta Cape Town team:

(1) Kirsten Graham - Business Development Manager, with 23 years' business experience gained at leading software ERP environments and IT service sector specialists. Graham is an "on the ground" Business Development Manager and currently readily handles a portfolio of 15 key account clients. Her proven attributes of being client centric, technologically sound, level headed, analytical, with a solid industry track record, and most importantly, the ability to establish trust and rapport with people, made her a "true purple" in Performanta terms.

(2) Rishard Baderoon - Business Development Manager with more than 17 years of experience in IT, with 10 years dedicated to information security. Baderoon is a highly motivated information security professional with thorough technical, consulting and pre-sales experience in delivering business-driven solutions to the enterprise corporate and public sector industries. He has a thorough understanding of the crucial role IT plays in delivering value to the business and the need for comprehensive IT governance and risk management frameworks in order to protect investments in IT infrastructure. With specialist skills in information security, audit and compliance, ISO 27001/2, network and systems security, risk management/assessment, vulnerability management, incident management, identity and access management/governance, patch management, firewall operations management, SIEM, security architecture, identity and access management, Web application firewall, ITIL, business process development, disaster recovery, SOC, project management, business development, configuration management, technical standards, SSL certificate management, policy compliance and privileged identity management, Baderoon assures a sound solutions approach is a synonym to the Performanta approach.

"While this physical presence will enable us to better service our existing customers in delivery and engagement in the telecommunications, insurance, retail, finance and service provider sectors, it is also the clear intent to extend the footprint to both the aforementioned as well as new prospective customers in the manufacturing, education, parastatal and public sectors," says Christo van Staden, Performanta Sales Manager.

The unique Performanta 3D approach of (1) delivering practical information security consulting, (2) leading information security technologies, and (3) managed services in concert provide assurance and delivery down to control objective to most of the modern day organisations' information security and governance requirements. Performanta's approach has proven relevant to some of the largest organisations in the world to whom Performanta today proudly fulfils that niche strategic information security partner chair.

While the company's sheer size, competency, track record and repertoire provide good reason and intrigue to engage, the name "Performanta - Latin for performance", says it all. Performance in a Performanta world is all about people and their actions. Relevant to the Western Cape region, it is all about the people and their ability to establish trust with new and prospective customers. Trust is philosophically spoken as "a sequence of events that leads to an expected outcome". In this lies the "secret sauce" of the Performanta brand, the company delivers no matter what. Publicly, yet humbly stated, the company has not once lost a customer to a lack of delivery, irrespective of the modern day dependencies and constraints.

While Graham and Baderoon will assure a unique quality of local presence, Performanta has always been strong on remote delivery and support.With a global solutions and delivery footprint that spreads to more than 50 countries, with a physical presence in only three, the company is confidently assuring delivery in a typical Performanta way, no matter what! The Cape Town team is mandated and enabled to make use of 28 daily flights from Johannesburg to Cape Town, and a team is ready to step up and deliver to any of its customers' demands.
