Post its recent appointment as exclusive distributor of Sunbelt Software's
full line of anti-virus, anti-spyware and messaging security solutions in India,
Cyber Intelligent Security (CIS) is on the lookout for resellers to consolidate
its channel base. The disti is looking at appointing sub-distributors in each
region. While for the North region the disti has appointed KK Software, the
names of the distis appointed in other region are yet to be finalized.
Meanwhile, CIS, that caters to the consumer, retail and corporate reseller
market, is looking at adding a large number of resellers to its growing network.
CIS will be recruiting partners for Sunbelt in the enterprise market, in
addition to supporting product availability for the consumer market. As per the
distribution agreement, CIS will offer the entire gamut of Sunbelt enterprise
and consumer product line, including its anti-virus products-Vipre, CounterSyp
Enterprise and Vipre Email Security for Exchange and Sunbelt Exchange Archiver.
Speaking about the security software, Mukund Kapur, Sales Director, CIS
commented, “Through Vipre, we are packaging speed and eegance in the software
security arena.”
Giving an interesting angle to Vipre software, Rahul Kapoor, Technical
Advisor, CIS explained, “Malware tends to mutate so that it is difficult to
detect. But with Vipre you can say we have now successfully terminated the
Terminator.”
Calling the relationship with CIS an ideal way to reach target markets
through both the consumer retail channel as well as a significant corporate
value-added reseller community, David Parkin, Director-EMEA Sales, Sunbelt
Software said, “Through our partnership with CIS we are able to utilize their
local market expertise to ensure Sunbelt's security solutions are widely
available to both businesses and individuals around the country.”
"Because of the rapidly growing network market in India, Internet access and
usage is an increasing priority and more affordable than ever before. With the
surge in use of technology in homes and businesses, the security risks
associated with cyber threats have also exploded,” said Rajive Kapoor, MD, CIS.
“Sunbelt's Vipre anti-virus offers an unparalleled solution for both corporate
and home users that delivers better performance than older traditional
anti-virus solutions and comprehensive protection against malware threats.”
Having received significant interest from many resellers to take on Sunbelt
products, the disti expects to see the products sold by most of the major
value-added resellers and many retail outlets throughout India.
CIS launched its India operations in August this year.
