Distributor Zycko, part of the Nuvias Group, is now working in Benelux with WatchGuard Technologies. Together with Arbor Networks, for whom Zycko is already a value-added distributor, these two companies make up its new Cyber Security Practice in Benelux. Another major security vendor signing is expected very shortly. Cyber Security is one of three current ‘Practices’ within Nuvias Group.
WatchGuard has been a long term partner of Zycko sister distributor Wick Hill, also part of the Nuvias Group, in the UK and Germany. As WatchGuard was looking to expand further in the Benelux region, it chose to appoint Zycko.
Jonathan Whitley, area sales director Northern Europe, for WatchGuard Technologies, commented: “The Benelux market is very important for us and we’re really keen to be working with Zycko to grow that market further. Zycko is forming a massive cornerstone of our expansion plans for the region and we anticipate major growth in our channel presence there. With the Nuvias Group, we’re able to leverage the security expertise of Wick Hill, and combine it with the strong presence in Benelux of Zycko, for maximum effect.”
Zycko has been working with a handful of Arbor Networks specialist local reseller partners in Benelux since 2015. The creation of the dedicated Cyber Security Practice in Benelux, with its greater focus on security, will accelerate the growth of Arbor in the region, it says.
