Melbourne, Australia – 7 March, 2022 – Specialist cybersecurity solutions distributor Chillisoft today announced it has partnered with email security and cyber resilience company Mimecast (NASDAQ: MIME). This distribution partnership expands Chillisoft’s portfolio of advanced security solutions and signals an increased focus for Mimecast on the New Zealand Fiji markets.
According to Alex Teh, CEO of Chillisoft, the New Zealand cybersecurity market has shifted gears in the last year.
“The combination of high-profile cyberattacks and a skills squeeze due to COVID lockdowns have shaken up the industry,” said Teh. “As a result, we are in an environment where cybersecurity needs are at the highest, and resourcing is at the lowest, increasing the need for a product with a high efficacy rate.”
“After 25 years of selling email security solutions, I can hand on heart say that the number one cyberattack vector is still email. It’s critically important for NZ organisations and channel partners to have an enterprise solution with high efficacy rates in blocking and quickly remediating against such attacks, and Mimecast has the ability to do this.
“Partners have traditionally trusted Chillisoft to have the technical and sales competency to lead and direct touch end use engagements. Our goal with Mimecast is to provide the facilities and technical resources to be able to support its solutions and customers, so we’re excited at the potential of this partnership in 2022 and beyond,” Alex continued.
With the cybersecurity landscape rapidly evolving, Mimecast’s Channel Sales Director for ANZ, Craig McGregor sees the company’s partnership with Chillisoft as a logical way to grow market share while providing even more value to channel partners and customers.
“The opportunities for cybersecurity companies with the right partnership structure in New Zealand are huge,” said McGregor. “While we know the New Zealand market well, Chillisoft gives us and our partner base a deeper local knowledge and strong stable of complimentary vendors, some of whom we already have alliances and API integration with, to the benefit of our customers.”
McGregor added, “While we already have a steady presence in New Zealand, partnering with Chillisoft gives us even greater depth and reach across a growing market and provides the right structure to help New Zealand organisations strengthen their security posture against an increasingly volatile cyberthreat landscape”
