Dubai based value added distributor, StarLink continued its expansion beyond the region as it bagged the distribution rights for Fidelis Cybersecurity’s network breach detection, endpoint detection and response, and deception solutions to enterprises across Europe.
“We are delighted to partner with Fidelis and for it to join our strategic channel network,” said Avinash Advani, SVP – Strategic Alliances & Sales for North America and Europe at StarLink. “Too many enterprises still over-complicate their defence strategies and this puts a major strain on security operations, especially with the influx of alerts. With the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) coming into effect in May 2018, enterprises will need to have an active defence strategy to prevent critical alerts from slipping through the net and risking a hefty fine from the Information Commissioners Office (ICO).”
Fidelis joins StarLink’s channel network of IT security and specialised partners to offer the Fidelis Elevate platform, the only solution that automates detection and response of attacks and data leakage. By integrating network visibility, endpoint detection and response, data loss prevention and deception, Fidelis Elevate provides understaffed and overwhelmed security teams with greater context, enriched analysis and automated workflows. This “turnkey” solution enables security teams to focus on the most urgent threats rather than spending precious time validating and triaging thousands of alerts. StarLink’s channel network has a dedicated team to support new and existing resellers, and the partnership will help extend Fidelis’ channel base in Europe.
Paul Roberts, Regional Director, Northern Europe at Fidelis Cybersecurity said “Our partnership with StarLink will meet the market demand for enterprises looking for a single, unified platform that automates the detection and response of both attacks on the enterprise as well as data leakage, and creating an opportunity for active defence. With its channel network, StarLink is uniquely positioned to meet this demand by introducing our solutions to key markets, as well as helping to create additional revenue and growth opportunities for our partners.”
