Menlo Security Enters Middle East IT Market Through Help AG Partnership
March 2017 by Emmanuelle Lamandé
Help AG announced that it has
signed a reseller agreement with Menlo Security to provide consulting,
implementation and support services for the vendor’s Menlo Security Isolation
Platform (MSIP) to businesses in the Middle East. The partnership aims to
address the constant threat of web-based malware that organizations face without
impacting end-user experience.
Unlike current prevention systems that attempt to distinguish "good" content
from "bad" content, MSIP takes a unique approach by executing all Web content in
a public or private cloud. Through this isolated execution, it allows users to
interact with websites, links and online documents without coming into contact
with malicious code. Only malware-free rendering information is sent to the
native browser on the user’s endpoint. Furthermore, as MSIP requires no client
software or plug-ins, users can enjoy a seamless and transparent experience with
no perceivable latency.
Help AG has undergone Menlo Security’s set of comprehensive technical and sales
trainings, and its security experts have achieved full certification by the
vendor. The reseller will deploy MSIP for customers, either via the public or
private cloud, in conjunction with existing Web Security gateways, next
generation firewalls, network sandboxes or other security systems. Through its
locally-based Cyber Security Support division, Help AG will also provide 24x7
support services via phone, email and web as well as onsite services around the
clock with a 2-hour response time within the UAE.
