DiData wins McAfee 2012 EMEA Systems Integrator of the Year Award

28 Jun 2012

Dimension Data has been named McAfee's EMEA Systems Integrator of the Year 2012. McAfee is the world's largest dedicated security technology company and annually honours its top partners that have demonstrated focus and skills around McAfee's technology to help clients achieve their security objectives while driving better business performance.

The award from McAfee is further evidence of another successful year for the McAfee and Dimension Data relationship. In 2011, McAfee signed its first Global Solution Provider Agreement with Dimension Data. In addition, McAfee named Dimension Data Global Partner of the Year and EMEA Systems Integration Partner of the Year.

Long history of collaboration

Sean Duffy, general manager of security solutions at Dimension Data for the Middle East and Africa, said prior to signing the Global Solution Provider agreement with McAfee last year, Dimension Data was a committed local and multi-regional McAfee Elite Partner for over ten years. "Our long-standing history of collaboration - particularly around global and multinational opportunities - means Dimension Data is able to effectively and reliably secure the operating environments of our local and global clients using McAfee's leading security technologies.

"When it comes to information security, there's little margin for error. Dimension Data's global footprint, multinational capabilities, delivery track record and expertise to support organisations with services and products across the full McAfee portfolio, allows us as a partner to help organisations achieve compliance and increase productivity, while maintaining a solid security posture - from endpoints to the core of the network," Duffy said.
