Comprehensive threat protection

The last 18 months have seen an alarming uptick in network security attacks and intrusions in both the public and private sectors. These threats will continue to increase, posing significant risk when it comes to data theft and the cost of recovery from an incident. It’s a situation that is exacerbated by the cybersecurity skills gap in South Africa.

Tarsus Distribution, a local value-added technology distributor of top-tier global hardware, software, and information security brands, has for this reason concluded a distribution agreement with Micro Focus CyberRes, one of the world’s largest providers of software solutions that strengthen cyber resilience and allow organisations to analyse their data in time to act decisively.

“The CyberRes suite of products complements Tarsus Distribution’s offering to companies and enterprises with large amounts of data that need security intelligence and insight to safeguard their operations,” says Alan Hawkins, GM of software and security at Tarsus Distribution.

“Companies that are digitally transforming their organisation need speed, agility, security, and insights to succeed in a rapidly evolving marketplace,” adds Emile Burger, Micro Focus SA country manager. “Our solutions are designed to enable faster innovation with less risk and are supplemented with an advanced analytics ecosystem to deliver optimal insights and efficiencies.

“The distribution agreement with Tarsus Distribution allows CyberRes to provide a broader market with the benefits of our advanced security solutions and services.”
