Malwarebytes has announced the appointment of Redington Gulf Value Distribution as its first distributor in the Middle East.
Having recently started operations in Dubai and launched a channel offering headed up by newly appointed Executive Chris Green, the Silicon Valley based company has significant momentum in the region. Redington Gulf Value Distribution will build upon this by providing a focal point for enterprise customers and resellers to purchase products through a local distributor.
Redington Gulf Value Distribution is the value-added distribution division of Redington Gulf – the distributor of IT products in Middle East and Africa. The partnership further supports Malwarebytes’ wider dedication to the channel in EMEA, joining operation in the UK, Ireland, Estonia, France, and Germany, with more to be announced in the coming months.
To this day, the Middle East has some of the biggest malware infection rates across the globe. According to Deloitte, since 2012, every country in the region has had at least double the number of infected systems than the global average.
Hishamul Hasheem, VP – Security & Software at Redington Gulf said, “Cyber-security is a top priority for businesses across the Middle East and our mission is to provide organisations with the very latest technology that allows them to address these advanced threats. Malwarebytes has established a great reputation for stopping and removing nefarious, cutting-edge threats. This is why we chose to work with the company.”
Anthony O’Mara, Malwarebytes VP of EMEA said, “Our enterprise solution has a strong track record for being highly effective against the most advanced, pernicious threats. Because of this, we now protect over 10,000 businesses, detecting and blocking 605,000 threats per hour and saving 750 million IT hours on over 28 million endpoints.”
“This proven ability to protect companies is driving significant demand across all sectors and in numerous territories. For this reason, we are delighted to be further expanding our presence in the Middle East with Redington Gulf Value Distribution.”
