In terms of the deal, the partnership will entail the distribution of BitDefender’s internationally certified security solutions and products to small businesses in the GCC region through Golden Systems’ extensive network of channel partners.
“The GCC is a key growth market for BitDefender and the demand for our high-quality and innovative security products and solutions have been on the rise, necessitating the need for us to engage with a well-established and strong channel distribution partner”, said Khalid Muasher, senior channel manager for BitDefender. “We are extremely glad to collaborate with Golden Systems Middle East, which is widely experienced and has a well-established regional distribution track record. We are certain that this partnership will help enhance our market presence and product awareness among current and prospective customers”, Muasher said.
BitDefender’s suite of anti-virus and information security software solutions for small businesses detect and prevent known and zero-day threats that target an organisation's most critical business assets from the gateway to the network core. BitDefender combines advanced antimalware technology to provide security against e-threats, viruses, spyware, hackers, spam, and phishing attacks, along with ease of deployment, automatic updates, and near zero management for the small business.
Commenting on the partnership and the opportunities that exist, Ehsan Hashemi, COO at Golden Systems Middle East said, “As a leading and highly-trusted distribution company, we pride ourselves in offering the best IT products to customers.”
Hashemi said BitDefender is a global provider of security software and this partnership bodes well for both companies. “We are confident that a brand like BitDefender, we are providing our channel partners with the best security solutions and performance available,” he said. “At the same time, BitDefender can be assured of reaching out to new customers and strengthening their market position through our strong channel network of 400 resellers and 4000 dealers.”
