Heimdal and emt Distribution forge alliance to elevate cybersecurity in MENA

Heimdal and emt Distribution have linked to combine Heimdal’s cybersecurity solutions with emt Distribution’s deep market expertise.

This collaboration aims to deliver sophisticated yet user-friendly products to the Middle East, positioning both companies for success in a crucial market.

Heimdal, known for offering the most comprehensive cybersecurity stack globally, and emt Distribution, the leading security distributor in the Middle East, are setting a new standard in the region. The partnership focuses on maximizing the value of cybersecurity investments through strategic consolidation, training, and robust vendor relationships.

The reason for the partnership stems from the growing demand for advanced cybersecurity solutions in the MENA region. This collaboration will address this need by leveraging both Heimdal’s technological prowess and emt Distribution’s extensive market reach.

Heimdal provides a wide range of cybersecurity solutions that cater to various aspects of security management, including threat prevention and software patch management. On the other hand, emt Distribution specialises in the distribution of security products and services, offering extensive knowledge and support to its clients across the Middle East.

Further information on the partnership reveals that Heimdal and emt Distribution have committed to several key initiatives. They plan to roll out Heimdal’s Patch Management solution immediately, which promises to be a significant improvement over current market offerings.

Additionally, they aim to provide local hosting solutions in the United Arab Emirates by 2025, ensuring high-performance, compliant cloud services tailored to regional needs. They also intend to drive the adoption of new technologies, such as the Threat Hunting and Action Center, which, combined with emt Distribution’s expertise, could revolutionize the local cybersecurity landscape.

The partnership also highlights the potential benefits of a Security Operations Center (SOC) in closing security gaps and boosting profitability for businesses in the region.

emt Distribution Co-Founder and CEO, M Mobasseri, said, “As we work closely with many cybersecurity experts and CISOs, we consistently encounter a range of challenges, particularly the complexity of managing numerous platforms. These platforms not only require specialized expertise but are also resource-intensive and costly.”

In addition, we are excited to announce special terms for our channel partners, aimed at maximizing their growth and profitability.”

This collaboration comes in response to the rapidly growing demand for advanced cybersecurity solutions across the region.”

He further added, “By joining forces with emt Distribution, Heimdal aims to leverage their extensive network of resellers to provide cybersecurity solutions to organizations throughout the Middle East. Our joint initiative will focus on empowering organizations to significantly reduce their cyber risk exposure through Heimdal’s easy-to-use and cost-effective security solutions and emt Distribution’s unparalleled market reach.”
