SecureNet, Panda Security partner to address critical cyber security need in the Gulf region

Global cyber security firm Panda Security and Middle Eastern speciality distributor SecureNet FZE have formed a strategic partnership that enhances Panda Security’s solution offering in the region with the support of a value-added distributor.

Organisations across the globe face a proliferation of advanced threats – posing significant risk to business continuity. The nature and frequency of attacks requires a shift in the cyber security mindset from a reactive to a proactive approach. “We believe that understanding the technology available to combat cyber attacks and how it can support organisations in building a robust cyber security stack is critical,” says Jeremy Matthews, CEO of Panda Security Africa.

SecureNet offers a diverse portfolio of IT technologies to its resellers by carefully selecting the vendors and mapping them together with modern-day business needs. “Partnering with Panda Security has enabled the expansion of our cyber security offering with Panda Security’s extensive solution portfolio,” explains Melwin D’Souza, CEO of SecureNet. A core offering is Panda’s advanced security solution – Adaptive Defense 360, which delivers a fully integrated EPP/EDR stack.

Panda’s Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) offering delivers a set of differentiated capabilities, including a 100% Attestation service, which is based on a zero-trust model to ensure only legitimate applications are allowed to run. Panda’s protection model is made more robust with its Managed Threat Hunting Investigation service to address malware-less attacks.

AD360’s Aether management platform is an extensible architecture with a range of additional optional modules, including an Advanced Reporting Tool, Patch Management and Full Encryption. Panda’s protection technology is supplemented with a comprehensive RMM suite – Panda Systems Management. Panda Systems Management makes it easy to remotely manage, monitor and maintain corporate devices.

"We are pleased to have partnered with SecureNet, expanding our presence into the Gulf region, and have already begun to see the impact of this partnership through knowledge sharing events hosted by SecureNet for their channel partners,” says Matthews.
