FVC, which showcased its extensive portfolio of communication solutions at GITEX, has signed a partnership deal with STC to bring managed video services in the region.
The value-added distributor, which has been beefing up its information security portfolio, is also planning to expand its BYOD security package. At its 10th GITEX, FVC claimed that the challenges presented by employees insisting on bringing their own devices into the work place, simple firewall security solutions are inadequate and new, solid, flexible solutions need to be produced.
“We participated at GITEX with a different perspective this year. We want to see what customers need from us in order to better run their business,” said K.S Parag, Managing Director, FVC. “We’re looking into new verticals; healthcare, telcos, oil, education and finance, etc. We need to understand the challenges they have and how we can deliver the leading solutions to them.”
FVC claimed it will be working proactively to produce a solid, all round security solution package in order to ease the pressure on enterprises having to incorporate BYOD strategies into their business.
“These businesses want to provide the right access to their staffs, our leading technology solutions can offer this. On the security side of things, a typical firewall isn’t enough now. We need to introduce the correct layers of security which can filter through different devices and access points and maintain a high level of security across multiple platforms.”
FVC offers SourceFire, a solution, which Parag believes, responds to all these concerns, particularly on BYOD trends which the company believes is highly vital in industry today.
