Westcon-Commutor, one of the world's leading technology providers and specialistributors, is expanding his collaboration with Proofpoint, an American company for cybersecurity and compliance. Due to the new agreement, Channel partners in Germany, the Netherlands, Spain and Portugal have access to Proofpoint's email and cloud security portfolio. This expansion marks an important step in the partnership between Westcon and Proofpoint in Europe.

Proofpoint is known for its excellent and user-oriented security solutions portfolio, which was recently recognized as "Customers' Choice" as part of the "2024 Gartner Peer Insights Voice of the Customer for Data Loss Prevention". Cooperation between Westcon-Commutor and Proofpoint enables companies in these four European markets to benefit from the reliable security and protection that these solutions offer. In view of the increasing risks due to cyber attacks and human mistakes, this is of great importance.

Proofpoint recently published the “2024 Data Loss Landscape” report, which illustrates that careless users are considered the main cause of data loss. In addition, a study as part of the "2024 Voice of the CISO" reports showed that 75% of Chief Information Security Officers surveyed expect an increase in cyber attacks next year.

To react to these threats, Proofpoint has developed innovative solutions in the field of threat protection. These comprehensive security solutions offer robust protection against social engineering attacks and malignant links. In addition, targeted threats are effectively fended off by adaptive email security functionalities.

Westcon is a trustworthy partner of Proofpoint and offers its reseller partners the opportunity to drive away the exclusive product and solution portfolio of the cybersecurity provider. This ensures compliance with all compliance requirements and protection against the diverse threats in the field of networks, endpoints, cloud, email and social media.

"Proofpoint is the focus of our zero-trust and cloud security strategy as a technology partner of leading companies such as Palo Alto Networks, Crowdstrike and ZSCALER," says Daniel Hurel, Senior Vice President of Westcon EMEA Cybersecurity & Next-generation Solutions at Westcon-Comstor. "By expanding our cooperation with Proofpoint in Europe, we offer our reseller partners in Germany, the Netherlands, Spain and Portugal tailor -made solutions to protect your customers from today's threats."

At the same time, Kent Breaux, Senior Vice President EMEA at Proofpoint, emphasizes the importance of a security platform based on humans. This platform identifies endangered users and implements a tailor-made safety approach across cloud platforms. The extended cooperation with Westcon supports companies in dealing with the requirements of a rapidly developing threat landscape.
