Coronet Security signs distribution deal with Redington Value Regional value-added distributor Redington Value has signed a partnership with Coronet Security, a data breach protection solutions provider. Under the terms of the agreement, Redington Value will deliver Coronet’s data protection for Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) productivity solutions to Middle East enterprises.
Ramkumar Balakrishnan, Redington Value
Coronet Security provides data breach protection for businesses that use the cloud, serving as another layer of security for users, devices and the most popular
SaaS applications. The cybersecurity firm powered by AI and cloud advocates data breach solutions primarily due to the fact that cloud applications are not protected against data leaks. Another factor is that existing security infrastructure cannot block regulatory violations, reinforcing the need for data breach solutions. Enterprises must stay compliant with privacy regulations such as GDPR, HIPAA, PCI and so on. Also, antivirus alone cannot stop ransomware or malware in cloud applications, it is easy for employees to put customers’ business asset at
risk knowingly or unknowingly. Leonard Crosson, chief revenue officer, Coronet said, “Customers need to protect their business-critical information irrespective of where it resides. As a company, we truly understand the challenges associated with safeguarding data and offer solutions that address this growing threat. Our partnership with the region’s leading value-added distributor Redington Value will further enable our business objectives of strengthening our reach in the Middle East market.” Ramkumar Balakrishnan, pres-
ident, Redington Value, said, “We are excited to offer regional customers and partners the advantages of world-class data breach protection solutions from Coronet. As the cybersecurity landscape becomes even more complex and challenging, innovative solutions such as Coronet’s helps customers to meet all aspects of their data security requirements, in simple yet efficient ways. “We are looking forward to helping channel partners leverage the complete potential of Coronet suite of solutions through indepth trainings and workshops.”

Dell EMC reveals results of third Global Data Protection Index The number of businesses unable to recover data after an incident nearly doubled from 2016, according to the Global Data Protection Index surveying 2,200 IT decision makers from 18 countries. Dell EMC has announced the results of the third Global Data Protection Index revealing an explosive growth rate of data of 569 percent and an impressive jump in data protection “adopters” of nearly 50 percentage points since 2016. The research, which surveyed 2,200 IT decision makers from both public and private organizations with 250+ employees across 18 countries
and 11 industries, provides a comprehensive understanding of the state of data protection and the maturity of data protection strategies. Specifically, the Index uncovered an increase in the average amount of data managed – from 1.45 petabytes (PB) in 2016 to 9.70PB in 2018 – and a high awareness of the value of data. In fact, 92 percent of respondents see the potential
value of data and 36 percent are already monetizing their data. While this acknowledgement is positive, most respondents are struggling to properly protect their data. The combination of these factors is driving many of the survey’s findings. The sheer volume of data and its importance to business operations make data protection that Continued on page 5
Carving a niche
By Zahid Sumar, Regional Sales Head, East and South Africa, Redington Value
The East Africa market comes with its own set of geopolitical and economic challenges like any other emerging regions across the globe. However, as a leading value-added distributor in the region, our role is to help partners create opportunities from these challenges. We believe channel partners must focus on advanced and emerging technologies such as analytics and security, which are seeing immense growth in the region. In Kenya, both the banking as well as the public sectors are quite strong in the region. Partners must align their business to cater to customers in these spaces. In Uganda, we are seeing a lot of investments coming from external sources such as world aid while Tanzania is also experiencing increased investments as corruption rates have dropped drastically. Channel partners can stand out in the East Africa region by selecting a niche product, to be ahead of the curve. The demand for analytics tools is growing, partners must scale their skills in this segment. This also has the potential to give them better margins compared to other solutions. As Redington Value, our aim is to continue offering in-depth support and trainings to help our partner ecosystem leverage the market opportunities to grow their businesses to new heights.

Avaya targets huddle rooms with latest product enhancements The company has expanded its comprehensive video collaboration solutions portfolio with new offerings designed for today’s smaller meeting spaces.
Avaya has introduced a number of enhancements to its video offering that promise to transform the group meeting room experience as well as business video economics. The company has expanded its comprehensive video collaboration solutions portfolio with new offerings designed for today’s smaller meeting spaces–including new Avaya IX Huddle Cameras, which deliver high quality video at prices that match small meeting space budgets, and the Avaya IX Collaboration Unit, which is an open “all-in-one” next-generation collaboration solution. Avaya is uniquely addressing the growing business need to add collaboration technology to small meeting spaces, often called huddle rooms, by making the overall experience more intelligent. Frost and Sullivan estimates there are over 32 million of these huddle rooms in offices worldwide, of which a very small percentage are equipped with video collaboration technology. According to Frost and Sullivan, huddle room meetings will surge from 12 percent to 70 percent of all video conferencing by 2023. “Avaya is moving the huddle room experience beyond the status quo with customer-led solutions that seamlessly integrate with their existing UC and video infrastructures,” said Chris McGugan, Avaya SVP, Solutions and Technology. “Customers also want to use their favorite cloud-based collaboration applications and our next-generation open architecture enables this. The result is a much richer user experience, plug
and play simplicity, and the ability to leverage existing investments.” Avaya IX Huddle Cameras can be used with Avaya IX Room Video solutions or connected to a laptop to deliver High Definition (HD) video at price points that align with the needs of smaller meeting spaces. The HC020 and HC050 are easy to deploy and use, and both provide an exceptional video experience. The Avaya IX Collaboration Unit is an allin-one collaboration device that represents a breakthrough in performance and price. This unit does not require a laptop connection, meaning it delivers easy startup, reliability and consistently high quality every time. It sits on top of the video screen, has integrated microphones, and provides a wide field of view which is important for huddle spaces that are typically not very deep but can be very wide. It also offers wireless content sharing from mobile smart devices. This next-generation huddle room solution provides UC platform integration, interoperability with standards-based video infrastructures, and enables users to run and share their cloud-based applications of choice. It is the first all-in-one device to bring everything the cloud has to offer to the huddle space in a way that makes sense for businesses of all sizes. The Avaya IX Workplace accelerates business by providing a single application that delivers calling, messaging, meetings and team collaboration–all with the same ease of use associated with personal applications. The Avaya IX Workplace can be delivered on premise or via private, public or hybrid cloud.

FORTINET HIGHLIGHTS CONVERGENCE OF CYBERSECURITY AND PHYSICAL SPACES The player in broad, integrated, and automated cybersecurity solutions showcased it’s latest security innovations that aim to help combat threats associated with Cy-Phy.
Alain Penel, Fortinet
Fortinet has participated at GISEC 2019 to address new threat opportunites that are being created by the convergence of cybersecurity and physical spaces or Cy-Phy. Fortinet showcased it’s latest security innovations that aim to help combat threats associated with Cy-Phy. Alain Penel, Regional Vice President, Middle East, Fortinet, said, “The age of Cy-Phy is here, and although the appeal of this convergence to our digital economy is almost sci-fi in terms of imagination, unfortunately the cybersecurity risks are very real. Cybercriminals are closely watching and developing exploits that target this emerging digital convergence. Our aim is to educate our audiences on the fundamental elements of cybersecurity, including visibility, automation, and agile segmentation, that are more critical than ever to enable them to thrive in our Cy-Phy digital future, and to protect against the malicious activities of cyber adversaries.” Fortinet held live demonstrations on a wide range of Fortinet cybersecurity solutions, and in particular the FortiGate Secure SD-WAN, and OT security solutions. Attendees discussed their toughest challenges with Fortinet’s top security experts and explored the latest in cyberthreat intelligence, as well as the strategies and solutions IT professionals need in order to secure their networks against these threats.

Kaspersky Lab unveils new program to empower partners
From page 3
Dell EMC reveals
This program enables Kaspersky Lab partners to focus on selling the Kaspersky Lab services and products that match their own specializations. Kaspersky Lab has launched a new global partner program ‘Kaspersky United’. This program enables Kaspersky Lab partners — including resellers, service providers, and system integrators — to focus on selling the Kaspersky Lab services and products that match their own specializations. They will also receive access to education, sales and marketing toolkits and benefit from a new transparent monetary rewards scheme. According to a Kaspersky Lab survey, when it comes to cybersecurity, the complexity of IT infrastructure is the factor that’s putting the most pressure on CISOs. Complexity widens the attack surface – it makes the protection of every aspect of infrastructure even more difficult, as it requires specific cybersecurity measures. As a result, cybersecurity providers may need to develop in-depth expertise in certain domains to offer customers specialized IT security solutions and services. Through the Kaspersky United program, partners can maintain and monetize their specializations across different status levels (Registered, Silver, Gold and Platinum) in one or several domains: by solution (hybrid cloud security, threat management and defense, or fraud prevention), or by services, such as managed service provider, managed detection and response provider, or authorized training center. Certification in different skills or techniques can also help partners drive sales, by demonstrating to customers that they are experts in their particular areas of need. “The channel is being transformed to meet customers’ expectations, with new service offerings and business models emerging,” said Ivan Bulaev, Head of Global Corporate Channel, Kaspersky Lab. “We are also seeing companies specialize in niche areas, delivering
very specific expertise in SaaS form, such as threat intelligence platforms. We also see more and more small and medium customers moving to an IT outsourcing model and MSP business growth following this pattern. To help the channel work effectively, as a vendor, we need to take these trends into account and create conditions in which each of our partners will find opportunities to develop and provide customers with the best solutions and services. That’s what we want to support through Kaspersky United.” Within the program, partners will also get comprehensive support and privileges from Kaspersky Lab, including monetary rewards such as significant upfront discounts, rebates on target achievement, proposal-based marketing development funds; specialist partner rebates of up to 20 percent, priority pre-sales and implementation support; marketing and sales tool kits; education materials, online and offline training sessions and workshops. The next phase of the program will see Kaspersky Lab update the partner portal, where a variety of valuable information can be found, such as whitepapers, webinars, competitive comparisons, and certifications. New partners will gain access to specially designed Partner Onboarding training, and assets to ensure newcomers have all they need to start selling and earning more quickly.
much more challenging. Disruption incidents are occurring frequently, but more alarming is the increasing amount of irreversible data loss. More than three-quarters (76 percent) of respondents globally experienced some type of disruption within a 12-month period, and 27 percent were unable to recover data using their existing data protection solution – nearly double the amount (14 percent) in 2016. Coincidently, 76 percent of respondents worldwide are also using at least two data protection vendors, which makes them 35 percent more likely to experience some type of disruption during the same 12-month period, compared to those with a single vendor. Unplanned systems downtime was the most common type of disruption (43 percent) for those using two or more vendors, followed by ransomware attack that prevented access to data (32 percent) and data loss (29 percent). Although unplanned systems downtime is more prevalent, data loss is far more expensive. For example, those who encountered downtime experienced 20 hours of downtime on average in the last 12 months, costing $526,845, while those who lost data, lost 2.13 terabytes on average with a price tag of nearly $1 million.
The majority (95 percent) of respondents face at least one challenge in relation to data protection. The top three challenges globally include: • The complexity of configuring and operating data protection software/hardware, and the ballooning costs of storing and managing backup copies due to rapid data growth tied for first at 46 percent. • The lack of data protection solutions for emerging technologies ranked second at 45 percent. • Ensuring compliancy with regulations like GDPR ranked third at 41 percent. For those who are struggling to find adequate data protection solutions for newer technologies, more than half (51 percent) said they could not find suitable data protection solutions for artificial intelligence and machine learning data, followed by cloud-native applications (47 percent) and IoT (40 percent). Beth Phalen, President and General Manager, Dell EMC Data Protection Division, said, “The nearly 50 percent growth of data protection adopters and fact that the majority of business now recognize the value of data proves that we are on a positive path to protecting and harnessing the data that drives human progress.”

Nutanix .Next on Tour emphasizes on channel partner programs Customers and partners gained insights to the latest in emerging hybrid-cloud technologies. At Nutanix’ Dubai leg of .Next On Tour, end-users and partners had an opportunity to learn insights on the latest in emerging hybrid-cloud technologies and how real-world customers are transforming their organizations. In 2018, Nutanix unveiled a new Channel Charter entitled ‘Power to the Partner’ that is reflective of a new approach required in today’s changing marketplace. Traditional channel programs need to evolve or they will never enable partners to be successful. A program is dictated by rules and guidelines, while a charter is about empowering partners to be successful in the market. Bassam Al Masri, Senior Manager Channel, Nutanix Middle East, said, “In today’s cloud era, Nutanix’ charter focuses on the new generation of “born-in-the-cloud” solution providers. A new kind of approach is required for these kinds of channel partners, going beyond typical programs with tiers and clip levels. Flexibility is a key feature of the charter. It is not a one size fits all channel program. The Nutanix charter includes new

marketing tools, multi-touch campaigns and other tools that will help partners brand themselves to customers along with targeting new customers in the market.” In December 2018, Nutanix enhanced its channel charter to extend opportunities to value-added distributors (VAD) and global systems integrators (GSI) along with additional opportunities for resellers. The new updates provide benefits to partners across industry, size and function in order for all Nutanix partners to succeed and grow with their Nutanix business.

Power to the Partner is also adding a new Influence Incentive Program, which rewards partners who significantly contribute to a customer purchase. “Partners with strategic relationships and influence with customers who may not be transacting on the sale of a deal - can now receive an Influencer Incentive if they are Scalers, Masters or authorized GSI partners,” explained Al Masri. He added, “In June 2018, we launched the Nutanix Velocity channel partner program targeted at key partners focused on the mid-market. It includes accelerated selling processes, incentives and marketing investments for strategic, mid-market focused channel partners.” Through this new program, Nutanix is enabling partners to demonstrate to customers in the mid-market how hyperconverged infrastructure can help provide an elegant solution to their needs without the cost and security challenges they may face with public cloud-only models. Nutanix is looking to prioritize and reward
partners who invest the most in the company’s business. Nutanix partner ecosystem includes technology alliance partners, system integrators, Managed Service Providers (MSPs), OEM partners, Consulting partners and training partners.
The Nutanix charter includes new marketing tools, multi-touch campaigns and other tools that will help partners brand themselves to customers along with targeting new customers in the market.”

Pivot3 achieves common criteria certification to drive hybrid cloud adoption As security threats rise, Pivot3 deepens its commitment to providing infrastructure solutions that meet the stringent security standards required for mission-critical applications.
Pivot3 has announced that it achieved Common Criteria certification for its Acuity hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) software platform under
an Evaluation Assurance Level (EAL) 2+. Common Criteria is an internationally recognized set of guidelines (International Organization for Standardization
15408), which define a common framework for evaluating security features and capabilities of information technology security products. This certification assures both government and private-sector organizations that Pivot3 provides the infrastructure necessary to mitigate emerging threats without compromising security, resilience and manageability at scale required for mission-critical applications. Pivot3 had previously attained Common Criteria certification on its prior generation software platform. Ben Bolles, Vice President of Product, Pivot3, said, “Pivot3 has proven itself as a leader in providing security, resilience
and manageability at scale for customers with mission-critical applications and environments. With the Common Criteria certification – considered to be the gold standard for security – IT leaders have the confidence that their infrastructure meets the highest security and data protection standards.” The Common Criteria certification process consists of several evaluation assurance levels, each one more stringent than the last, with product security testing performed by accredited independent, third-party laboratories. This evaluation is recognized by over 28 participating countries, and others who follow the Common Criteria program unofficially such as the European Union.
