01732 759725 10 WORKING TOGETHER SimSpace has appointed Nuvias Group as its first UK distributor, as it looks to embrace a partner-led business model and establish its position in the UK IT Channel. The SimSpace Cyber Risk Management Platform helps organisations stay secure and compliant by providing a ‘cyber range’, where IT teams can conduct live-fire product assessments and realworld advanced persistent threat (APT) simulations. It also helps fill gaps in skills and knowledge by providing access to more than 700 hours of graduate-level cybersecurity training. Nuvias claims that users of the SimSpace cyber range have experienced a 45% improvement in attack defence, a 48% improvement in time to detect attacks and a 40% reduction in configurationrelated breaches. Lee Driscoll, MD, UKI at the Nuvias Group, said: “SimSpace, chosen by top organisations across the financial and governmental sectors globally for their highly effective, leading-edge solutions, complements our existing cyber security portfolio, adding a highly innovative approach to cyber defence in an era of heightened and increasing risk for all.
