AlgoSec, the market leader for Network Security Policy Management, has made a key addition to its UK channel line-up with the appointment of Bytes Security Partnerships, a leading provider of IT security and risk management solutions as a Gold partner.
With the appointment of Bytes Security Partnerships, AlgoSec has expanded its Gold partner count to five, from a standing start in 2010. The company is also seeking to further expand its channel, with plans to appoint a value-added distribution partner in the next 6 months.
Paul Clark, AlgoSec's Regional Director for UK and Ireland said:
"Partnering with Bytes Security Partnerships will be a big step for us in driving further growth in the UK and Europe. Its expertise in delivering enterprise security solutions and managed services will help us fulfil growing market demand and uncover new opportunities.
"In 2011 we saw 95% year-on-year sales growth and that trend is continuing, thanks to our partners – which is why it's vital that we continue to grow our channel. "
John Gilbertson, joint managing director of Bytes Security Partnerships said:
"Many of our customers have mixed estates with products from multiple vendors, and need solutions that help them to manage their network security policies more easily and effectively.
The automation and reduction in complexity enabled by AlgoSec's solutions directly address this need, making it easier to manage a wide range of security devices and technologies. The solutions will also support our MSP operation, giving closer management of policies and boosting efficiency. Algosec is a key addition to our portfolio."
Reducing Complexity for IT Security Managers
A recent survey by AlgoSec of nearly 130 IT security professionals showed how the complexity of multi-vendor environments leads to more frequent security incidents.
55.3% reported a security breach or system outage due to complex policies, and nearly 75% of respondents still manage their network security manually, despite saying that having 'too many policies to handle' was a major challenge for them.
