AlgoSec expands African operations with the appointment of SecureData Africa as its first distributor


Johannesburg, 10 Sep 2013

AlgoSec, the market leader for security policy management, today announced it has appointed SecureData Africa, a wholly owned subsidiary of JSE-listed SecureData Holdings, as its first value-added distributor for the sub-Saharan Africa region.

"Partnering with AlgoSec extends our portfolio with a solution that solves a lot of pain by automating the management of complex security policies across a numerous network devices and operations teams," says Wayne Olsen, Chief Technology Officer at SecureData Africa.

"Now we can enable our customers to effectively and more efficiently address dynamic business requirements, as well as security and compliance mandates - ultimately delivering significant ROI and reducing risk, while enabling security and operations teams to keep up with the speed of the business."

The AlgoSec Security Management Suite delivers an automated and application-centric solution for managing complex policies across firewalls and related security infrastructure to improve both security and business agility. The AlgoSec Suite bridges traditional gaps between security, network and application teams to streamline security operations and change management, ensure continuous compliance, maximise application availability and service delivery, and deliver a tighter security policy that offers better protection against cyber attacks.

"The firewall policy management market is growing rapidly as data centres, corporate networks and the threats they face continue to increase in complexity," said Paul Clark, Regional Director, AlgoSec. "By partnering with SecureData, we can quickly expand our presence across the sub-Saharan Africa region to help organisations improve both their security posture as well as their agility."
