LONDON, UK: AhnLab, one of the world’s leading providers of Internet Security protection, has announced that as part of its launch into EMEA, the company will sell its products 100 per cent through the channel, creating huge opportunities for resellers in the region.
AnhLab, which is head quartered in the US, specialises in integrated internet security solutions for consumers and businesses, ranging in size from SMBs to enterprise organisations. AhnLab’s products were recently identified as being faster, producing fewer false positives and having a lower total cost of ownership than its main competitor FireEye in a number of third party tests.
AhnLab will be offering new partners the opportunity to sell its Malware Defence System (MDS) in the EMEA region, rather than its anti-virus products which made the company a household name in South Korea. Resellers will also benefit from competitive pricing, free training, as well as incentives and bonus schemes. AhnLab has already signed up IX Associates as their first partner.
Ian Wells, Head of Business at IX Associates, said: “The arrival of South Korea’s largest security company into the USA and EMEA marks a major milestone in the world of Cyber Defence Systems. With Cyber security now a board room issue cost effective Defence Systems are a welcome countermeasure to meet the challenges of today’s Advanced Targeted Attacks.”
Simon Edwards, EMEA Territory Manager at AhnLab, said: “AhnLab MDS is a fantastic product and bringing it to EMEA will allow organisation to benefit from the protection it offers. AhnLab as a company invests very heavily in research and development so our detection and protection rates are second to none. We are keen to build up a strong reseller programme in the UK where are partners are thoroughly trained on the product and they get good commission rates which enables them to benefit from the product. We are more interested in the quality of our partners rather than the quantity. We want our partners to be as knowledgeable and passionate about the product as we are.
