Layer 8 provides a new breed of training solutions which empowers changes in organisational security cultures by raising awareness that technology alone cannot deliver the required level of protection. In fact, the recently published ‘Black Report’ states that 85% of hackers said people were the primary source of blame for security breaches, even more than inadequate security and unpatched software. The partnership will enable VCW to expand its portfolio of cyber security solutions with a unique solution that allows resellers to provide customers with an additional layer of protection against security breaches by employees that are not fully aware of all potential cyber threats. https://layer8security.com Beta expands AV offer Beta Distribution has acquired audio- visual installation firm Contentwall to help its base of IT and office equipment resellers break into the fast-growing digital signage space.
