SecureData Security, part of JSE-listed SecureData Holdings, today announced that it had been appointed as distributor for SIEM market leader, ArcSight, to serve the sub-Saharan African territory.
ArcSight has been in the leaders' quadrant in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for SIEM for the last six consecutive years, and its customers include Fortune 100 companies, Dow Jones Index companies and global banks.
“ArcSight's extensive product portfolio provides scalability from small to large enterprises, thus allowing companies to realise the value of best-of-breed Security Incident and Event Management,” commented Yugan Reddy, Sales Director of SecureData Africa.
“With the increasing adoption of SIEM technology due to cybertheft, cyberfraud, cyberwarfare and cyberespionage, SecureData can now offer customers the market leading SIEM technology to cater for corporate and regulatory policies as part of our Fraud Mitigation Strategy.”
“South Africa and other sub-Saharan Africa countries are already addressing fraud and corruption,” continued Reddy. “Our partnership with ArcSight, in combination with our other world-class products and services available via our established channel, can now significantly help with this initiative.”
“While the local market has reacted with caution to such technologies, as compliance requirements have not been as stringent as in developed markets, security is still an important part of the CIO's agenda. Our partnership with ArcSight is a part of our strategy to drive the increased adoption of SIEM technologies,” commented Mark Linnell, Product Manager at SecureData.
“We are pleased with the appointment of SecureData as our distributor,” said Jonathan Cooper, Director, Channel Sales, EMEA at ArcSight. “They possess the ability to empower their channel partners with the knowledge and skills to successfully sell and implement complex security projects, thereby providing our customers with the value and ROI they would expect to see from a market-leading technology.
Globally, ArcSight is utilised by a wide range of organisations that have critical information, infrastructure or operations to protect. These include leading corporations in major industries, governments worldwide and the majority of US intelligence, defence and civilian agencies.
