Under the terms of the agreement, Ingram Micro will help to accelerate the rapid growth that PhishMe has achieved across META (Middle East, Turkey and Africa).

Ingram Micro highlighted that its expertise in reselling a wide array of technology solutions and the recent launch in META of the Cyber Security Business Unit offering value-added services, enables business partners such as PhishMe to operate efficiently and successfully in the markets they serve.

The strategic alliance will benefit customers across the region, with PhishMe's human intelligence-driven anti-phishing solutions augmenting the distributor's comprehensive technology portfolio. Together, PhishMe and Ingram Micro will help to protect organisations from today's advanced security threats.

"We are delighted to team with PhishMe and to add to the portfolio of products and services we offer to our partners," said Ali Baghdadi, Senior Vice-President and Chief Executive, Ingram Micro's META region. "The addition of PhishMe is expected to help our partners and customers enhance the range of security solutions they can provide to enterprises throughout the META region."

PhishMe's phishing incident response platform and phishing threat intelligence enables Security Operations Centre and Incident Response teams to respond faster to real threats - decreasing the risk of data breaches. Its intelligence-driven solutions empower employees to be an active line of defence and source of attack intelligence by enabling them to identify, report and mitigate spear phishing, malware, and drive-by threats. The company has received a range of respected industry awards over the course of 2016, and recently announced record year-on-year growth.

"Collaboration with industry-leading IT and security companies such as Ingram Micro extends our reach to a greater number of customers facing an unprecedented increase in frequency and damage caused by cyber attacks," explained Jim Hansen, Chief Operating Officer, PhishMe. "PhishMe is the only security company that provides a comprehensive and scalable human phishing defence solution. In partnership with Ingram Micro, we are giving organisations across the META region the security solutions and intelligence they need to proactively detect and quickly respond to cyber attacks."
