DUO appointed distributor for Silverfort in New Zealand
New Zealand Duo, a division of Sektor and a distributor of cybersecurity solutions, has announced its appointment as the distributor for Silverfort in New Zealand.
According to a company statement, Silverfort's Unified Identity Protection platform enforces secure authentication and access policies across corporate networks, industrial networks, and cloud environments. This includes sensitive IT and OT systems that were previously considered "unprotectable".
With Silverfort, businesses can implement Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), Risk-Based Authentication (RBA), Zero Trust policies, and holistic visibility across all sensitive systems, without requiring any agents, proxies, or code changes. This includes homegrown and legacy systems, remote admin tools such as Remote PowerShell, file systems, IT infrastructure, SCADA and other operational servers, engineering workstations, HMIs, IoT devices, machine-to-machine access, and more.
Silverfort's solution natively integrates with most existing Identity and Access Management (IAM) solutions, extending secure access controls such as Risk-Based Authentication and MFA across all on-premises and cloud resources. This makes it easy for businesses to maintain their existing IAM systems while benefiting from unified visibility across all users resources, and protocols.
"We are delighted to be working with Damon, Phil and the wider Silverfort team in New Zealand," says David Long, General Manager for Duo & Sektor Cyber.
"Their solution has received global recognition for its ability to enhance security posture, streamline IAM, and support legacy applications, making it an ideal solution for businesses of all sizes and industries, including those with complex IT and OT environments," he says.
"Silverfort provides a cost-effective solution to increase security posture and extract maximum value out of existing identity investments," Long says.
Silverfort recently won the coveted Zero Trust Champion Award from Microsoft at RSA Conference (RSAC) in San Francisco.
Duo is a New Zealand-based distributor of cybersecurity solutions. Duo works with best-in-class vendors to offer businesses throughout New Zealand cutting-edge cybersecurity solutions to protect against cyber threats.
The appointment follows earlier news this year that Sektor was named as the exclusive distributor for iMin products across Australia and New Zealand. iMin Technology is a solution provider in the field of intelligent business. The company is based in Singapore.
Sektor is a specialist IT distribution company focussing on delivering innovative and efficient products for the retail, commercial, networking, security, healthcare, ergonomics, payments and mobility markets.
Sektor also announced its appointment as the exclusive distributor for Bosstab products in Australia and New Zealand last year. Bosstab specialises in stands and mounts for tablets.
