Value-added distributor Netpoleon has announced a partnership with Pentera, a specialist in automated security validation, to distribute Pentera’s solutions across the Australia New Zealand and ASEAN regions.

Netpoleon is a leading provider of integrated security, networking solutions and value-added services across Asia pacific. Pentera will join the list of world-class solutions that Netpoleon offers to help customers keep pace with the security challenges that are inherent to the dynamic IT environments of today.

"By leveraging the Pentera solution, our customers can continuously validate the effectiveness of their security across their multiple attack surfaces,” says Francis Goh, Chief Executive Officer, Netpoleon Group. 

“Netpoleon is proud to partner with a market leader like Pentera, whose automated security validation solution ensures that our customers' security readiness is always maintained," Goh says.

Pentera emulates real-world adversary techniques across the entire IT attack surface. The agentless, rapidly deployed platform continuously challenges existing cybersecurity controls with the latest attack techniques.

The solution provides security teams with an actionable roadmap that enables them to dramatically reduce their security exposure as well as benchmark their security over time.

“We recognise the urgent need for automated security validation in light of the rising number of data breaches across Australia and New Zealand,” says Paul Lim, Regional Director ANZ at Netpoleon.

“Pentera enables security validation at a scale not possible through manual pentesting or red-teaming. Their automated solution will enable our customers to proactively validate their security and reduce cybersecurity exposure on a continuous basis," he says.

“Joining forces with partners that understand our customers’ IT and security needs is paramount for us," adds Michael Tan, VP Sales, APAC at Pentera. 

“Netpoleon has a mature security practice and solid track record in the region, making them a strong choice for Pentera’s next phase of growth in Asia Pacific," he says. 

"We look forward to a long and successful partnership.”

Back in May, Netpoleon announced that its Asian partnership with OpenText Cybersecurity was being extended to Australia and New Zealand. OpenText strengthens cyber resilience by delivering insights, protection, and compliance combined with security analytics to drive value for customers and partners alike.

Founded in 2000, Netpoleon Group is a Value-Added Distributor (VAD) of Network Security products, headquartered in Singapore with various full-fledged offices across the Asia Pacific region in Australia, Cambodia, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam. 

Last year, Netpoleon extended its Asia Pacific partnership with phishing detection and response provider Cofense to New Zealand.
