French vendor Wallix and Axians France have entered into a two-year partnership in a bid to address the growing cybersecurity needs and regulatory requirements of the industrial sector.
Axians supports the digital transformation of companies and is now part of the Business Partner Program, Wallix's distribution network, alongside its 300 international partners, including distributors, reseller-integrators, global integrators, and consulting firms.
"Working with Axians means being able to rely on double expertise in IT and OT, thus providing a solid technological response that is perfectly adapted to the business uses,” said Yoann Delomier, OT team leader at Wallix. “This response will be relayed as close as possible to our common customers through the proximity on the ground that characterises VINCI Energies companies.
“In the long term, thanks to the global presence of Axians and WALLIX, we will be able to cover the cybersecurity needs of manufacturers with production sites all over the world."
Through the partnership, Wallix will be able to accelerate its development in the industrial sector in France and across Europe.
Initially, Axians has certified 12 members of the team in charge of joint projects in the WALLIX PAM4ALL unified solution. It works with Actemium, a VINCI Energies brand dedicated to industrial processes, with the aim to improve the industrial performance and competitive advantage of its customers.
"Thanks to this ambitious partnership, we want to offer solutions that allow VINCI Energies companies (Axians and Actemium) to guarantee their customers a cybersecurity approach that reassures them about both the tools selected and the methodology used,” added Pascal Girard, business development manager of industrial cybersecurity & IIOT at Axians. “We will also offer a single point of contact for OT/IT convergence to best support our customers in their digital transformation."
