Pointsec Mobile Technologies, a leading global provider of information protection solutions for notebooks, desktops and PDAs, has confirmed the appointment of Condyn as its distribution partner for the sub-Saharan Africa region.
Condyn, the Information Security Distribution Company for Africa, was appointed by Pointsec as its distribution partner for Africa.
"Condyn`s commitment of best breed of product for the Africa continent was once met again with the Pointsec Partnership," says Jorina van Rensburg, CEO of Condyn. " Our business model will be that of carefully selected resellers to promote the product."
We have been working closely with Pointsec Mobile Technologies during the past few months to arrive at a business model, which will be conducive to customers in the future. "An extremely good relationship has been formed with Pointsec Mobile Technologies," says Jorina van Rensburg, Condyn`s CEO.
Pointsec is an enterprise security solution which protects data at rest, on a mobile device against intrusion, by employing the use of strong authentication and encryption.
"Not only does Pointsec protect all data on notebooks, PDAs and PCs from intruders, but it also has a fully scalable management system. We find that when staff members left companies with a bitter taste in their mouths, they tend to sabotage data on their systems, either by not giving correct passwords or by loss of tokens or smart cards when they leave the company. This is where you require a fully manageable system," says Andre Grove, Director of Condyn.
Condyn will be the representative for Pointsec in Africa with commitment to our valued clients. We will be responsible for the promotion and backup support for Pointsec in Africa.
"In essence, this means that Condyn will act on behalf of Pointsec in many respects in Africa. The Condyn responsibilities include the appointment of resellers and leveraging the POINTSEC brand in the territory. We are extremely excited about the business model and the relationship with Condyn. We are confident that Condyn will prove to be an invaluable ambassador for our Threat protection solutions in the Africa market," says Thomas Bill, President, CEO of Protect Data.
