MID DLE EAST

Cybereason , a leader in endpoint protection , has announced the launch of a new partner programme for the Middle East that will allow the region ’ s Value Added Resellers ( VARs ) and managed security service providers ( MSSPs ) to enhance their customers ’ defence postures against an everevolving threat landscape .

Cybereason ’ s recent signing of Westcon-Comstor ME , which recently became a partner in the marketing and distribution of Cybereason solutions across the Middle East .

Cybereason ’ s recent expansion is being overseen by its Regional Director for the Middle East and Turkey , Tarek Kuzbari , an industry veteran who has spent years on the frontlines with some of the world ’ s leading security companies .

“ Cybereason sells entirely through the channel , and our success in the region depends entirely upon our ability to forge a rich partner ecosystem ,” he said .

“ In the past year alone , we have struck agreements with some of the biggest technology and services providers in the world , including Westcon , WWT , Cerner and TrustWave .”

The Cybereason Defence Platform gives security analysts and operations teams the industry ’ s deepest visualised cloud services and the ability to stop targeted attacks . In addition , Cybereason is disrupting the global endpoint security market . The company ’ s approach centres on automating many tasks that previously required manual labour .

Its cloud-based EPP ( endpoint protection ) platform delivers an industry-leading ratio of one analyst to 150,000 endpoints , compared with the benchmark of one analyst to just 20,000 endpoints .

Such achievements are gaining Cybereason international recognition . It was the top ranked current offering in The Forrester Wave : Endpoint Detection & Response , Q1 2020 report and had the highest rated platform in NSS Labs Inc ’ s Advanced Endpoint Protection ( AEP ) Test . In addition , Cybereason was the only company to receive a ‘ Best Buy ’ product rating in SC Media ’ s 2020 Annual Endpoint Security Product Test .

“ Recently , a Forrester-commissioned study showed that Cybereason ’ s customers reduce the likelihood of suffering a cybersecurity breach and enjoy a more than 300 % return on investment over three years making us the ideal partner for enterprises looking to protect Middle East organisations ’ endpoints from the cyberthreat landscape ,” said Kuzbari .

Through the new regional partner programme , VARs and MSSPs will get access to Cybereason ’ s Partner Nest , which delivers top-flight sales and technical enablement . In addition , all partners are instantly eligible for the Cybereason Defenders League certification programme that empowers partners with skills to deliver a demo and a POC , enabling them to become experts .

“ We are really excited to launch our Middle East partner programme because this is an innovative region that takes endpoint protection very seriously and we can ’ t wait to form new relationships with strong allies who will help us expand our footprint and bring world-class protection solutions to the market ,” added Kuzbari . •
