Security

Distributor’s Spire Solutions announced that it has partnered with email and data security company Mimecast

The aim is to help Spire Solutions improve the cyber resilience of their local customers and provide next-generation protection against advanced email-borne and internally-generated threats.

Email is the number one application used by organisations around the world and the data being sent and received needs to be protected, the company stated.

According to Gartner’s assessment on ‘How to Build an Effective Email Security Architecture’ in 2018, email is the most commonly used channel for both opportunistic and targeted attacks on client endpoints, including advanced malware, phishing and spoofing.

Mimecast services are designed to provide comprehensive pre-attack email security checks, continuity during and automated recovery after an attack. Through this partnership, joint customers can benefit from how the platform both helps to safeguard employee communication and reduce risk with targeted threat protection, prevention of data leakage and enforce security controls.

Jeff Ogden, general manager Mimecast in the Middle East, said, “Our reselling partnership with Spire Solutions will help accelerate our rapid growth in the Middle East.”

“Together we can help our joint customers better protect themselves from growing cyber threats with advanced protection, while at the same time improving their cyber resilience in the event of an attack with email continuity and archiving,” he added.
