These include Secure Web Gateway (SWG), Menlo Private Access (MPA) for Zero Trust, Cloud Data Leak Prevention (DLP), Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB), Remote Browser Isolation (RBI), and Email Link & Attachment Isolation. Lance Williams, Chief Product Officer at Distology, said: “Web-based applications and communication tools have become the norm and it’s the responsibility of each organisation to ensure their multi-cloud environments are safe and secure to protect both their people and the business. Educating employees using cybersecurity awareness training and/or integrated human layer security (such as Zivver, Tessian, Egress) are great means of defence. However, as malware tactics become even more sophisticated and subtle, it’s overly ambitious to expect people to be on their guard 24/7. “This is where a provider like Menlo Security, which will be offered to customers as part of Distology’s workspace security solution strategy, can help. Menlo Security is not your average web security company as its Isolation Core extracts threats away from networks, giving businesses a supersimple way to protect people by making online threats completely irrelevant, wherever employees are, however they’re working and whatever device they’re working on. How Menlo Security does this is a game-changer.” LED display manufacturer Absen has entered into its largest pan-EU distribution partnership with Maverick AV Solutions, a specialist division of Tech Data.

Absen is the brand of choice for some of the most prominent companies, integration partners and rental businesses around the world. This collaboration will allow Absen to work with its current customers and vendor ecosystems and enter new customer segments, including high growth areas such as the meeting room and corporate environments.” Other smart meeting, smart signage brands distributed by Maverick include Logitech, Microsoft, Lenovo, Barco, Samsung, Epson, Vision, LG, NEC, HP, Sharp and Avocor. www.tdmaverick.eu ...continued Alexis Brabant, Arrow Electronics Bee Ahmed, Carbonite + Webroot Mike Appel, Tech Data
