ADDRESSING THE MARKET DEMAND DVCOM Technology, a specialist VAD in the region and has several new solutions to showcase at this year’s GITEX. Renjan George, Managing Director at DVCOM TECHNOLOGY LLC discusses how they are responding to the current needs of the market in terms of products and solutions they offer Elaborate on the partnerships you have signed recently with vendors in the current year? DVCOM is known for its choice of world class vendors in the ICT space but essentially in the hardware solutions space. With the pandemic changing the way companies work our focus has been to get a pie of the digital share of spend which has grown fast. Keeping this in mind we were quick to partner with Zoom a video conference software company that everyone knows about. Gartner has positioned Zoom in the Leaders Quadrant of both the 2020 Magic Quadrant for Meeting Solutions and Magic Quadrant for UCaaS, Worldwide and we are excited with this partnership. Another exciting partnership has been with Teridion, the company delivering the only global public cloud-based SD-WAN service. Teridion’s global SD-WAN service is fully integrated with all leading WAN, SD-WAN and security edge solutions from providers such as Cisco Meraki, Fortinet, Citrix, Palo Alto Networks and others, and also supports connectivity to legacy branch office routers and firewalls. Enterprises no longer need to deploy costly carrier circuits or MPLS networks to gain high performance. With Teridion, customers can expect lightning-fast file transfers, pristine voice and video sessions, and overall performance comparable to MPLS. Another top security concern for organizations is phishing attacks. 91% of all cyber-attacks start with phishing and 86% of organisations report being a victim of phishing. Cyberfish, whom we have signed up with recently combines Computer Vision and AI to stop phishing emails and websites in real-time - before they have been reported or added to the blacklists. Because standard anti-phishing protection is not enough, Cyberfish “looks” at emails, landing pages and even attachments using Computer Vision and AI, analyzes their actual visual representation and stops impersonation attacks in real-time.
