Forcepoint is set to boost Customers’ Data-first SASE journey during GITEX 2021, demonstrating its full suite of cybersecurity solutions and providing support to key channel partners as they promote new business and revenue rise for customers transition to Forcepoint’s data-first Secure Access Service Edge platform.
Forcepoint has inked a definitive agreement to purchase Security Service Edge (SSE) pioneer Bitglass, according to company press.
Bitglass’ best-in-class Security Service Edge (SSE) combination of CASB, SWG, ZTNA, CSPM, and DLP administered from a single cloud-based interface with over 300 PoPs worldwide will be integrated into Forcepoint’s Data-first SASE platform.
IT and security teams in Middle Eastern companies have had the unfortunate task of guaranteeing company continuity throughout rapid digital transformation during the previous eighteen months. Data is the foundation of today’s computerized economy, but the possibilities for both creativity and cruelty are limitless. Forcepoint is the industry leader in Data-first SASE cybersecurity, allowing enterprise and government customers to adopt new cloud-first, hybrid-ready cybersecurity capabilities at their own speed, rather than the vendors.
“Today’s reality is that people are working from everywhere, and progressive organizations must protect precious information assets in perimeter-less networking environments. Forcepoint’s Data-first SASE ensures customers can secure data access and usage by closing down attacks and opening up data use. Forcepoint’s Middle East team can’t wait to meet up with partners and customers at GITEX,and help them customize a SASE adoption plan that matches their cloud strategies,” said Mahmoud Samy, Vice President Regional Sales, EMEA Emerging Region at Forcepoint.
Forcepoint will use GITEX to announce the launch of its updated Global Channel Partner Program, which includes a significant investment in systems and support, the introduction of new partner Levels to help partners grow faster and more profitably, a simplification of how partners work with the company, and the opening up of partner-led services.
Forcepoint will be demonstrating all of its solutions live at GITEX 2021, with a presence on two strategic partner booths, Starlink (Hall 1, Booth C1) and Mindware (Hall 3, Stand D1). The focus is on Forcepoint’s Data-First SASE platform, which takes a novel approach to networking and security by reinventing these technologies as convergent cloud services, delivering uniform connection and protection to remote workers. Forcepoint’s network security (NGFW and SD-WAN), data protection (DLP, CASB), and cloud security (Secure Web Gateway and Cloud Security Gateway) technologies will also be shown.
Furthermore, Ozgur Danisman, Forcepoint’s newly elevated VP EMEA Sales Engineering, will talk at Ingram Micro’s X-Labs session about risk-adaptive data security for today’s hybrid workforce. Ozgur’s new role will see him lead the EMEA region’s cybersecurity technology presales team, which will be responsible for providing security for hybrid and rapidly evolving computing environments, including secure network access, the protection of valuable information assets, and the delivery of unified secure access and data protection that spans on-premises, hybrid, and cloud.
The newly enhanced Forcepoint Global Channel Partner Program is an investment in a broad partner ecosystem that provides the resources, incentives, and training support needed to help customers succeed in a complex world of distributed enterprises, rapidly evolving hybrid workforces, and ever-expanding SaaS applications. New levels and competitive discount schemes have been added to the program to provide predictable revenue for partners.
“Paramount is committed to providing market-leading services in cybersecurity across the whole of the Middle East, and our partnership with Forcepoint helps us deliver on these goals,” said Suhas Varambally, Senior Vice President at Paramount Computer Systems. “The enhanced channel partner program, and Titanium membership, will provide us with predictable financials, as well as the support, training and most critically, market-leading SASE solutions we need to provide to our customers as we protect their critical information assets and infrastructure and deliver business value, year-on-year.”
