TrapX and Cloud Distribution sign distribution agreement to bring military grade security deception technology to Asia Pacific

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA. November 6, 2017 - TrapX Security®, a global leader in deception-based advanced cybersecurity defence technology, announced today it has signed a regional distribution agreement with one of Asia Pacific’s leading distributors, Cloud Distribution to expand the availability of their military grade security deception technology across the region.

TrapX has created a new generation of deception technology that provides real-time breach detection and prevention. TrapX’s field proven solution deceives would-be attackers with turn-key decoys (traps) that “imitate” your true assets. Hundreds or thousands of traps can be deployed with little effort, creating a virtual mine field for cyberattacks, alerting you to any malicious activity with actionable intelligence immediately.

We spend a great deal of time researching new vendors and new technology and how this will fit in and complement our existing vendor portfolio and partner network”, said Charlie Creegan, Chief Channel Officer (CCO) at Cloud Distribution. TrapX are a perfect fit to complement our security portfolio and resonates extremely well with our partner base and their customers”.

“Unlike firewalls and other endpoint security methods that generate alerts based upon probability, TrapX’s DeceptionGrid alerts are binary”. “DeceptionGrid adds a fake layer to your infrastructure by placing decoy (traps) assets, fake data and other artefacts to your current infrastructure landscape”. “Even from a technology agnostic view, no system or person should ever touch something fake unless it is actively seeking something or there is a misconfiguration.” “This is what our partners have been looking for and now we have it”, Charlie concluded.

“With Cyber Security and Cyber Defence being front of mind for most government, public and private organisations across the region, this distribution partnership provides our partners with access to the expertise and the world’s leading deception technology provider on the planet”, said Mark Winter, Chief Executive Officer at Cloud Distribution.

“This partnership gives us an incredible opportunity to significantly expand our reach across the region and ensures that our growing customer base receive the same level of service and support they receive directly from us, said Ori Bach, VP Product & Marketing at TrapX.” “This partnership opens up TrapX’s reach through the extensive reseller and channel partner network under Cloud Distribution, Ori said.

Any partner that is currently selling Network and Endpoint security solutions, will understand that this is a complementary solution to their current portfolio. This makes the TrapX an attractive option for organizations of any size, across many industries, that want to stop advanced threats and gain greater visibility into their security posture.
