SecureData, a member of the JSE-listed ERP.com Group, today announced that it has been appointed by TippingPoint Technologies as its exclusive distributor for Africa including the Indian Ocean Islands.
"The UnityOne product from TippingPoint Technologies performs total packet inspection through all seven layers of the OSI stack and at gigabit speeds," commented Dean Brazier, Managing Director of SecureData.
"Thus, all traffic can be thoroughly analysed to thwart attacks since its intrusion prevention system (IPS) terminates hostile connections before malicious traffic can reach the intended target. TippingPoint Technologies is the market leader in this IPS space and thus this partnership with them makes eminent sense."
"SecureData is one of the leading providers of security products, solutions and services on the African continent," added Rob Krol of TippingPoint Technologies. "We are therefore confident that we have partnered with the correct organisation as well as a very successful one and look forward to a successful long-term relationship with them over the coming months and years."
TippingPoint Technologies, although a comparatively young organisation, already boasts a substantial client base that includes BMW, Galileo, HP, Microsoft and Sara Lee.
