With multi-platform software and a worldwide delivery and support infrastructure, Symantec helps customers optimise technology investments throughout their lifetimes.
StarLink is acclaimed as one of the largest value-added distributors of IT security solutions across the Middle East, Turkey and Africa.

Nidal Othman, Managing Director at StarLink said, “This exciting new business relationship is an organic one, with Symantec’s acquisition of Blue Coat. Following the success we previously achieved with Blue Coat, we are glad to be part of Symantec’s journey in establishing itself as the industry’s largest pure play cybersecurity company, and we are committed to working together with our channel to help realise our collective goal of ‘Defining the Future of CyberSecurity’.”
