technologyreseller.co.uk 09 WORKING TOGETHER e92plus offering enhanced with WSO2 ITDR solutions Independent cybersecurity distributor e92plus is adding Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR) to its portfolio through a new partnership with QOMPLX. With a focus on protecting identity, QOMPLX reduces cyber risk and attack surfaces by mapping exposures and performing real-time detection of attacks via its QOMPLX ITDR product suite, managed services and Attack Surface Monitoring (ASM) solution. Mukesh Gupta, CEO and Co-Founder of e92plus, believes ITDR gives VARs and MSSPs a big opportunity to expand their cybersecurity offering. He said: “We increasingly view identity as a critical part of cybersecurity strategy, but so often it’s a lower priority than more topical solutions like XDR. We see huge potential for our partners to address the ITDR market with a dedicated solution that PAM or MFA vendors do not address, especially one that focuses on protecting systems such as Active Directory (AD) that are a fundamental part of how an organisation manages identities and privileges for their users.” E92plus’ partnership with QOMPLX follows the recent portfolio additions of Proofpoint and Picus Security and an extension of the distributor’s existing agreement with Check Point Software Technologies. www.e92plus.com Target appointed official be quiet! distributor Target Components has been appointed an Official Distributor of German PC components manufacturer be quiet!.
