Comguard Strengthens Its Security Offering with Solera Networks

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 added Security Intelligence and Analytics vendor Solera Networks, to compliment its broad security solutions portfolio in the Middle East region.

Together, ComGuard and Solera Networks will deliver advanced security solutions that will enable enterprises to defend and prepare for the inevitability of security breaches. With advanced malware and targeted attacks constantly threatening networks and data, organizations large and small are accepting that breaches will occur. As a result, they are focusing on preparedness – despite an already robust security environment.

“There is a lot of interest from government and enterprises in the region for enhancing their security to the highest levels”, said Jayadevan K, Senior Vice President, Value Business at Comguard. “We believe that security intelligence, analytics and forensic technology can be of great help to organizations in the region to counter security threats and increase visibility to better prepare and defense against vulnerabilities and attacks on their networks.”

Solera Networks delivers a context-aware security and analytics platform that turns big data into organized, visible and actionable security intelligence – minimizing the loss of sensitive IP and mitigating the risk of advanced threats and malware. Security professionals gain total visibility of targeted attacks and advanced malware with:

• Complete capture, classification and indexing of every packet, flow and file—no matter how fast the network or heavy the traffic—on both physical and virtual networks.
• Next-generation DPI engine that indexes every flow and classifies over 850 applications and thousands of application-specific attributes.
• SoleraDB that allows enterprises to index everything for instant retrieval. With 100% visibility of exposure, organizations don’t have to rely on just known, targeted pathways for responding to attacks or data loss.
• Solera’s open architecture that integrates with best-of-breed security tools including Sourcefire, FireEye, McAfee, Palo Alto Networks, ArcSight and more.

"We are glad to partner with a leading Value Added Distributor like Comguard, who understands the complexities and nuances of network security”, said Alex Seton, VP Business Development, Solera Networks, Inc. “Combining Solera Networks Security Intelligence and Analytics with Comguard’s lT security leadership across the Middle East region will assure organizations are best prepared to deal with today’s advanced malware and targeted attacks."

Comguard is authorized to sell security solutions from Solera Networks across the Middle East region including UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Egypt among others.
