PhishMe, a provider of human phishing defense solutions and Ingram Micro, announced a new channel alliance. As a premier distributor, Ingram Micro will help to accelerate rapid growth that PhishMe has achieved across Middle East, Turkey and Africa.
“Collaboration with industry leading IT and security companies such as Ingram Micro extends our reach to a greater number of customers facing an unprecedented increase in frequency and damage caused by cyberattacks,” explained Jim Hansen, Chief Operating Officer, PhishMe.
“PhishMe is the only security company that provides a comprehensive and scalable human phishing defense solution. In partnership with Ingram Micro, we are giving organisations across the Middle East Turkey and Africa region the security solutions and intelligence they need to proactively detect and quickly respond to cyberattacks.”
PhishMe’s phishing incident response platform and phishing threat intelligence enables security operations centre and incident response teams to respond faster to real threats, decreasing the risk of data breaches. Its intelligence-driven solutions empower employees to be an active line of defense and source of attack intelligence by enabling them to identify, report, and mitigate spear phishing, malware, and drive-by threats. The company has received a range of respected industry awards over the course of 2016, and recently announced record year-on-year growth.
The strategic alliance will benefit customers across the region, with PhishMe’s human intelligence-driven anti-phishing solutions augmenting Ingram Micro’s comprehensive technology portfolio. Together, PhishMe and Ingram Micro will help to protect organisations from advanced security threats.
“We are delighted to team with Phishme and to add to the portfolio of products and services we offer to our partners,” said Ali Baghdadi, Senior Vice President and Chief Executive of Ingram Micro’s Middle East Turkey and Africa region. “The addition of Phishme is expected to help our partners and customers enhance the range of security solutions they can provide to enterprises throughout the Middle East Turkey and Africa region.”
