MIS Corporate Defence Solutions joins Sourcefire partner program to distribute Sourcefire’s 3D System within the UK
Open source innovator and Snort creator, Sourcefire and MIS Corporate Defence Solutions (MIS CDS) have announced the signing of a strategic premier partner agreement between the two parties.Built on open source Snort, the world’s most widely used Intrusion Prevention System (IPS), the Sourcefire 3D System uses a combination of threat, network and user intelligence. This provides organisations with the capability to defend their networks before attacks by proactively patching discovered vulnerabilities, during attacks by blocking, and after attacks have occurred by remediation to other devices to minimise damage. “Partnering with MIS CDS, an established, trusted, security integrator further validates the Sourcefire Partner Programme. We are already working with them on a number of active projects and marketing programmes to extend Sourcefire’s reach into the larger UK-based enterprises,” comments Anthony Perridge, EMEA Channel Director at Sourcefire. “The goal of the Sourcefire Channel Programme is to build strategic relationships with a select number of technically-focused security partners, and MIS CDS fit the bill perfectly.” “As a leading solution for Intrusion Detection and Prevention and in line with our Virtualisation strategy, Sourcefire is by far the best vendor solution available in the market place today, with a flexible approach to transform the way in which our customers should look to manage and mitigate their security risks and vulnerabilities,” comments Tracey Hannan, Product Marketing Manager at MIS CDS. Following the appointment of Anthony Perridge as EMEA Channel Director in January and the announcement of its new EMEA channel strategy last month, the signing of MIS CDS provides further evidence of Sourcefire’s commitment to the EMEA channel and its pledge to furthering its partner programme across the region.
