Cybersecurity solution provider Sophos collaborated with peer StarLink as distribution partner in the Middle East and Levant regions, on Wednesday, where StarLink takes responsibility of distributing and promoting Sophos’ portfolio of solutions.
The company said this newly signed partnership will be enforced from November 20, and its portfolio will includes Managed Detection and Response (MDR) services and network, messaging cybersecurity as well as endpoints like Sophos Intercept X which can deliver protection against advanced attacks.
The digital security firm signed its first UK-based cyber insurance partnership with Cowbell Managing General Agency, on Tuesday, where Sophos U.K. customers can share their endpoint health information with Cowbell, also to take advantage of pricing and policy offers that reward robust security.
Harish Chib, vice president of Sophos Middle East and Africa said, “We are thrilled to partner with StarLink to provide cybersecurity to organizations in the Middle East, Cybercriminals are constantly upping their game, and Sophos research shows that attacks, such as ransomware, take place within hours after establishing a foothold in a network.”
“Our partnership will enable us to offer customers strategic and defensive security solutions that are backed by our unparalleled support and services – technical as well as on-ground,” said Ahmed Diab, operating chief of StarLink.
Diab added, “With our strong sales and marketing competency and strategic channel partnerships, we are well-positioned to generate brand awareness, educate potential customers about Sophos’ offerings, and establish valuable connections in the industry to achieve our core goal of increasing market share for Sophos in this region”.
