CTO Bruce Schneier to keynote at GISEC as Resilient Systems expands into the region
Dubai - Resilient Systems (formerly known as Co3 Systems), the leading Incident Response Platform (IRP) provider, today announced its partnership with information security value added distributor, Shifra, marking its expansion into the Middle East region. The partnership is the latest in a series of announcements relating to Resilient System's expansion into the EMEA territory, following the establishment of an EMEA office and senior sales and management appointments in the region.
Resilient Systems is helping enterprises to bring order and consistency to their response to IT security incidents with its Incident Response Platform. By partnering with Shifra, end users in the Middle East region will have access to the leading solution to put them in control of cyber attacks and business crises.
"Response efforts today continue to rely largely on retrofit, manual approaches based on ticketing systems, spreadsheets and legacy applications," said Paul Ayers, General Manager EMEA at Resilient Systems. "We're seeing significant market demand in EMEA for solutions that will help to improve the coordination and detail in which organisations can respond to security incidents. By partnering with Shifra, we'll be able to bring the most effective response tools to new customers in the Middle East."
"The Middle East is a significant growth area, with businesses expanding rapidly and deploying new infrastructure and systems that are being actively targeted by cybercriminals," said Ahmad Elkhatib, Managing Director of Shifra. "Our partnership with Resilient Systems will provide our customers with all the best IR tools currently available, ensuring that they are world-leading in their ability to respond to any security incidents."
