The collaboration will look to extend the reach of Proofpoint’s cybersecurity and compliance solutions in the EMEA market.
Westcon-Comstor said Proofpoint’s email security, cloud security and employee awareness training solutions will “reinforce” its zero trust and cloud security portfolio.
Daniel Hurel, vice president, cyber security solutions, EMEA, Westcon-Comstor, said, “Proofpoint is perfectly placed to become a key player in our zero trust and cloud security strategy.
“The alliance will allow Westcon resellers to offer customers a unique solution that spans network, endpoint security, cloud, email, and social media attack vectors.”
Neill Burton, vice president, channels and alliances, EMEA, Proofpoint, added, “Email remains the number one threat vector and cybercriminals consistently use social engineering attacks to target organisation’s employees and trick them into falling victim to attacks.
“This collaboration with Westcon delivers cybersecurity protection that meets the needs of all organisations facing today’s fast-evolving threat landscape.”
