Trustwave & Dicker Data expand cybersecurity partnership

Trustwave has expanded its partnership with Australian IT distributor Dicker Data, enabling the latter to offer the full range of Trustwave's cybersecurity services to its network of resellers.

The expanded agreement will see Dicker Data offering a suite of Trustwave services that include Managed Detection and Response (MDR), Co-Managed Security Operations Centre (Co-SOC), Security Information and Event Management (SIEM), Penetration Testing, Advisory and Risk Assessments, MailMarshal Email Security, and DbProtect Database Security. This move comes as demand for advanced cybersecurity solutions continues to grow in the region.

Jason Whyte, General Manager Asia Pacific at Trustwave, remarked, "Trustwave's expanded partnership with Dicker Data represents a significant step forward in bringing best-in-class cybersecurity solutions to the Australian market. Modern businesses face increasingly complex threats, and Trustwave's managed security services provide end users with the highest levels of protection and peace of mind. Combining cutting-edge technologies with Dicker Data's established reseller network gives businesses of all sizes access to the world-class tools they need to safeguard their critical infrastructure and data."

Whyte added, "End users can now leverage a fully integrated, proactive approach to cybersecurity to detect and respond to threats faster, as well as anticipate and mitigate risks before they become business-disrupting issues. This collaboration is about delivering resilience and confidence to Australian businesses, knowing that they have partners in Trustwave and Dicker Data that are committed to their long-term security needs."

Pennie Stevens, General Manager of Dicker Data's Australian Software Division, commented on the development, "We are pleased to be expanding our partnership with Trustwave to include a wider range of proven solutions. We are seeing a sustained increase in the demand for penetration testing, security assessments and MDR services, particularly as Australian businesses look to their technology partners to ensure they have the best defences in place to protect against cyber threats."

She further noted, "Our partnership with Trustwave spans over a decade, and with cybersecurity being a key focus area for Dicker Data, we are committed to continuing to expand the cybersecurity solutions we offer to help our extensive partner network meet the growing needs of their end-customers."

This development allows resellers to enhance their service offerings and tackle the increasing call for sophisticated cybersecurity solutions effectively. By utilising Trustwave's expertise, resellers can provide scalable security services suitable for businesses of all sizes, which helps them to stand out in a competitive IT services market.

Australian businesses stand to benefit from better access to top-tier cybersecurity solutions, given the increasing prevalence of cyber threats such as ransomware and data breaches. Trustwave and Dicker Data's partnership addresses this escalating need by providing a comprehensive suite of proactive and responsive security measures to safeguard sensitive data and infrastructure.

Trustwave has also introduced a special penetration testing promotion for new customers through Dicker Data resellers. This offer, valid until 30 November 2024, allows new clients to purchase a penetration test and receive a complimentary retest. Available options include external or internal network and web application penetration tests, as well as iOS or Android mobile application tests. These are conducted by Trustwave's SpiderLabs team, aimed at identifying and addressing security vulnerabilities.
