Cyber crime is the second most common form of economic crime reported in the Middle East according to PwC’s Global Economic Crime Survey 2014. Today it is not only large enterprises, but also SMBs and home users who are at risk of attack. This growing need for enhanced IT security has resulted in accelerated regional growth for ESET in both the business and home user segments and the vendor has entered into a new partnership with PSILOG International for the distribution of its range of IT security solutions for businesses across the GCC. The broad line distributor will also be responsible for managing ESET’s retail distribution business in Saudi Arabia.
“PSILOG will add not only to our distribution capabilities, but will also play a lead role in the training and support of our channel partners. At ESET, we continuously upgrade our solutions to ensure they are capable of protecting against all existing and emerging cyber threats. PSILOG will ensure that our partners remain up-to-date with all these product enhancements so that our customers can leverage our products to their full potential,” said Pradeesh VS, General Manager at ESET Middle East.
