Distributor DataSolutions has signed up ColorTokens for the UK and Ireland. The announcement comes as DataSolutions expands its operations and looks to bolster its roster of resellers. In addition, it has announced the launch of a Fast Track Security Partner Acquisition Program, which aims to give resellers are the technical knowledge and understanding of new vendors in rapid time.
ColorTokens targets the 80% of network traffic flowing between systems within the enterprise perimeter, providing visibility into what is normal and what could be malicious activity. ColorTokens Xtended ZeroTrust Platform aims to deliver the visibility organisations require and allows them to adopt granular micro-segmentation to protect virtualised and cloud hosted workloads and complements the perimeter security solutions already in place.
DataSolutions will be launching ColorTokens to its UK partner base on May 28th with a virtual webinar launch that will feature Tony Scott, a former Federal CIO of the United States and Walt Disney Company CIO, currently serving as ColorTokens’ board member.
Michael O’Hara, Managing Director, DataSolutions, said: “ColorTokens is a great addition to our growing line-up of technology partners. The cybersecurity part of our business continues to grow, and our intention is to further establish this division over the next 12-months. For our existing resellers and those who may join our new initiative, forensic level security insight provides a great opportunity to provide business with a unique and compelling proposition. In addition, the ZeroTrust market is growing at 20% per annum and predicted to hit nearly $40bn by 2024, so there is a significant revenue opportunity for partners.”
Success based on the core principles of education, support and growth has seen DataSolutions record 30% year-on-year growth for the past four years in the UK, he says. The agreement with ColorTokens underscores its intentions to continue this trajectory and expand the security division of the business.
“We’re proud to be working with DataSolutions to build our partner base in the UK and Ireland,” says Lee Ealey-Newman (pictured), ColorTokens’ Vice President, Channel EMEA & APAC. “As DataSolutions enters 30 years of specialising in innovative IT technology, we look forward to leveraging their long-established experience to deliver a new generation of proactive security solutions across these regions.”
