Rapid7 announces reseller Duo as New Zealand distributor
The Sektor duo gets the nod as cybersecurity spending is expected to increase in 2024.
Cyber security company Rapid7 has revealed that Duo, a division of enterprise technology company Sektor, will be the company’s strategic distribution partner in New Zealand.
The deal means Duo’s reseller business, including value-added resellers and managed security service providers, will be able to offer Rapid7’s Insight platform to customers.
Anita Moorhouse, Rapid7’s partner director for Asia-Pacific and Japan, said the move comes as Gartner predicts a significant increase in cybersecurity spending by 2024. In New Zealand alone, spending is expected to increase 11 percent next year.
“As organizations are set to increase their cybersecurity spending, resellers, VARs and MSSPs will play a critical role in providing the cyber tools businesses need to bolster their defenses,” Moorhouse said in a statement. “We are delighted to have Duo join us as a strategic distributor in New Zealand and look forward to working closely with them and their partner network.”
The Insight platform provides a “complete set of tools” to boost an organization’s security posture, including risk management, external threat intelligence, and cloud security. David Long, managing director of Cyber AU/NZ at Duo, believes the partnership is a great fit for the market.
“We are excited to collaborate with the Rapid7 team as they expand into the New Zealand market,” Long said.
“Their solution is perfect for commercial and large enterprises looking to improve asset visibility and address vulnerabilities across their entire IT estate. The platform provides automated and actionable insights, presenting a market opportunity for the channel community and service providers to deliver additional value to their customer base.”
