Comguard, a Dubai based leading value added distributor for IT security products and solutions in the Middle East and North Africa region, today announced that it has partnered with Damballa, the world’s leading provider of security solutions that protect enterprise, ISP and telecommunication networks against advanced malware, persistent threats, and zero-day targeted attacks. Damballa identifies the severity and intent of these attacks even when the malware evades detection.

Jayadevan K, Senior Vice President, Value Business at Comguard, said, “With hacking and cyber crimes gaining currency in the cyber world, Damballa provides an ideal security solution for enterprises, telcos, internet service providers, and governments in the region to safeguard their organisation’s and prevent them from potential cyber attack.”
