The Indicent Response Platform provider Resilient Systems (formerly known as Co3 Systems) has 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.
“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.”
Resilient Systems will also be attending GISEC, 26-28 April 2015, at the Dubai World Trade Centre. At the event Resilient System’s CTO and internationally renowned security technologist, Bruce Schneier, will be providing the keynote address. The keynote, taking place at 10.10am on Tuesday 28th April, will look at the highly publicised cyber attacks against Sony, providing insight on how incident response and crisis management plans can help organisations cope with these types of security incidents. Schneier will also be signing copies of his newly released book “Data and Goliath: The Hidden Gems to Capture Your Data and Control Your World” at stand (SR-C25) during the event.
