Netherlands- based Netsweeper, a provider of threat detection, productivity and HR enforcement solutions, has sealed a pan-European distribution agreement with Sigma Software Distribution. The partnership will see Sigma working to build channel-led sales of Netsweeper’s security products across the region. Organisations are more at risk than ever from web-based threats, which can result in lost productivity, network infection, legal liabilities, increased infrastructure costs and the loss of sensitive information. Netsweeper has a suite of products to enhance productivity of remote workers, improve cyber security, enforce internet use policies and solve BYOD (bring-your-own-device) challenges.
Key for HR departments, operations teams and corporate governance, customers can use the technology to manage roaming laptops and devices with a client filter application system and enforce Acceptable Use Policies both on and off the network. They can also protect devices from access to malware sites and click through from phishing attacks.
Devices are managed from the Netsweeper platform, a single pane of glass application to view and manage the data being monitored and filtered. “With reduced capacity in IT teams, this approach greatly reduces risks and increases productivity throughout the business by allowing faster detection of threats and downtime trends among users,” said Netsweeper.
Netsweeper also offers a free Productivity Assessment Profile that provides a detailed report of internet activity showing non-work related sites which have been visited, alongside malware, phishing and non-approved or even illegal activity. “Our products align perfectly with Sigma's current expertise and we’re confident that by working together we’ll be able to grow awareness of Netsweeper in the channel and ultimately drive sales,” said Perry Roach, CEO at Netsweeper. Jane Silk, managing director of Sigma, said: “As a leading cyber security and data management player, Netsweeper’s products are in high demand right now. Resellers can take advantage of this increased demand by working with Sigma to maximise every opportunity.”
Founded in 1999, Netsweeper is headquartered in The Hague, the Netherlands, with offices in the UK, Dubai, India and Canada, with existing distributors in Australia, the US, the Middle East and South America.
Last year, Sigma signed new distribution deals with the likes of Teamwork, ABBYY and RealVNC.
