Easy to use privileged access management and security solution completes emt Distribution’s support for Australian Signals Directorate’s Top 4 cyber security defence list
Adelaide, Australia – 13 June 2017: emt Distribution today announced it has been appointed the Asia Pacific master distributor for Washington, D.C. based security vendor, Thycotic, a provider of privileged account management (PAM) solutions for more than 7,500 organisations worldwide.
With Forrester estimating that 80 percent of data breaches involve privileged accounts that have been compromised or abused, Thycotic’s Secret Server was developed as a comprehensive privileged account management solution that protects organisations’ system user credentials and privileged accounts.
emt’s range of cyber security solutions mitigate the vast majority of cyberattack vectors. They address the Australian Signals Directorate’s (ASD’s) Top 4 Strategies to mitigate targeted cyber intrusions – application whitelisting, patching applications, patching operating systems, and privileged account management. These mitigate more than 85 percent of intrusion techniques that the Australian Cyber Security Centre responds to.
“Privileged account management is one of the top four mitigation strategies used to meet the needs of the Australian Signals Directorate. It is a perfect opportunity for our channel partners in the region to be seen as trusted advisors,” said Simon Azzopardi, VP, International at Thycotic. “emt Distribution plays an important role in empowering and connecting with the channel and we’re delighted with the role they play on the impact of our success in the region.”
emt’s distribution agreement with Thycotic will make its privileged account management solution exclusively available through resellers, managed service providers (MSPs), systems integrators, security and compliance consultants, and outsourcing companies.
According to Scott Hagenus, Chief Marketing Officer for emt, demand for privileged account management solutions is growing rapidly among government and enterprise organisations, with SMBs and mid-tier enterprises not far behind. emt has already added five new staff members dedicated to Thycotic to meet that demand, he said.
“Organisations are waking up to the fact that traditional cyber security defences like firewalls and anti-malware are struggling to combat the rising tide of targeted attacks,” said Hagenus. “Privileged accounts are the keys to the kingdom. Organisations need to know how many human and non-human privileged accounts they have, who has access to them, restrict that access and lock down the passwords that protect them. Putting in it plain terms, you can have the best locks in the world, but they won’t help if you leave the keys under the doormat.”
Thycotic Secret Server protects privileged accounts while being the fastest to deploy, easiest to use, enterprise-class solution that is highly scalable and competitively priced. The company is 100 percent channel focused in the Asia Pacific, with an outstanding channel program.
The Thycotic Certified Partners program offers deal registration, rewards incentives and a margin protection program. Its Deal Registration Program let channel partners protect their opportunities and maximise available discounts. Thycotic Rewards is a flexible program that helps partners get started with Thycotic, get trained and close business.
As master distributor, emt Distribution has hired five dedicated Thycotic sales and support staff on the ground in Australia, including pre-sales engineers and customer success personnel to help channel partners ensure their customers are getting the most out of Thycotic products.
emt Distribution will also attend onsite sales meetings alongside partners, run walk-throughs and tailored demonstrations with partners for end-user customers, and help partners manage the Thycotic deal registration process.
