Shearwater inks deal with EMT Distribution

Organisational resilience group Shearwater has inked a distribution agreement with cybersecurity software distributor EMT Distribution.

EMT will act as a distribution partner for Shearwater's group company SecurEnvoy's multi-factor authentication solutions, as well as other future product categories, across the Middle East, Turkey and Africa.

SecurEnvoy develops identity and access management solutions to protect users, devices and data, enabling organisations to deploy a wide range of methods to authenticate users accessing Microsoft Office 365 web and desktop applications.

Chief executive Phil Higgins said: "EMT Distribution is well-positioned to accelerate growth across the META region for SecurEnvoy's product set, in particular, its MFA-as-a-Service, which integrates with its on-premise MFA solution.

"This agreement opens up an additional distribution channel for SecurEnvoy and strengthens its position in the identity and access management sector."
