Connex IT and AccuKnox Team Up for Enhanced Security
In a significant move for digital security in Southeast Asia, Connex Information Technologies has been appointed as the authorized distribution partner for AccuKnox’s Zero Trust Cloud-Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP). AccuKnox, recognized as a global leader in the realms of cloud-native security, seeks to capitalize on this partnership to strengthen its presence in the region, encouraging more localized execution and growth driven by local partners.
Expanding Reach in Southeast Asia
Founded with the vision of navigating the rapidly changing landscape of technology, Connex has evolved since its inception in 2014, establishing a robust network across 14 countries. This network comprises over 1,500 channel partners who enable technology distribution and support within the Asia-Pacific, Middle East, Africa, and Oceania regions.
The partnership is strategic, favoring localized execution over a one-size-fits-all centralized approach. It reflects AccuKnox's commitment to working closely with regional partners, ensuring the deployment of its advanced security solutions. With cloud-native technology rapidly gaining traction, this collaboration comes at a critical time, as companies increasingly adopt these transformative innovations.
Goals and Objectives
As the newly appointed distribution partner, Connex is set to play an integral role in enhancing channel readiness while simultaneously providing support to customers navigating modernization in application infrastructures. This modernization is especially crucial in hybrid and distributed environments, where the complexity of security exponentially increases.
Nat Natraj, CEO of AccuKnox, emphasized the significance of this partnership, stating, “Partnerships like this are about proximity being closer to customers and the partners who serve them.” The insight denotes a profound understanding of how distribution models must adapt to regional nuances while maintaining robust operational protocols.
With Connex's focus on hands-on pre- and post-sales support, the expectation is to facilitate a seamless transition for customers as they adopt next-generation infrastructure and security technologies. Ashok Kumar, Managing Director of Connex for Southeast Asia, echoed these sentiments, stating that the partnership is grounded in a shared vision of technology adoption across the region.
The Role of Technology in Today's Business Landscape
The fusion of AccuKnox’s Zero Trust principles with Connex’s distribution prowess signifies a proactive approach towards strengthening security postures in cloud, container, and Kubernetes environments. The rising concern over data breaches and cyber threats necessitates an effective and resilient security framework, a need that this partnership effectively addresses.
