ThreatQuotient launches META operations after partnering with StarLink

ThreatQuotient, a security operations platform vendor, has signed a strategic partnership and value added distributor (VAD) agreement with StarLink.

In terms of the agreement, StarLink will promote and distribute ThreatQuotient’s platform, ThreatQ, through its extensive network of channel partners and solution providers across the Middle East, Turkey and Africa (META).

“Like many regions, there is a growing need in Middle East, Turkey and Africa for strengthened security operations and improved threat intelligence management which is why ThreatQuotient is excited to expand our footprint into these markets with the support of StarLink,” said Anthony Perridge, vice president of International at ThreatQuotient.

Perridge added that: “We are confident in StarLink’s long term competencies in cybersecurity through their extensive portfolio of security solutions, a solid channel network, and years of expertise and market knowledge. We look forward to joining StarLink’s impressive portfolio of technology solutions, and maintaining innovative, competitive programs that drive efficiency for our mutual customers and offer the highest quality threat intelligence tools available.”

Nidal Othman, co-founder and managing director, StarLink explained that: “Even after deploying multiple layers of security, organisations are continuing to fall victim to intrusions. This is mainly due to having traditional methods of security systems.  What is lacking is an advanced security strategy.  This is where ThreatQ’s Threat Intelligence Platform can help enterprises accelerate their security operations with a threat-centric approach.”

He added that: “We are looking forward to add value to this partnership through our regional expertise and capabilities and grow ThreatQ’s market share in this region.”
