Mart Networks Group, a leading value-added distributor with a presence in the Middle East and Africa, has announced a distribution partnership with Infopercept, a leading platform-led managed security services company.
Under this agreement, Mart Networks will serve as a distributor in East and West Africa for Invinsense Offensive Extended Detection and Response (OXDR), a platform for threat exposure management, and Invinsense Govern Secure Optimize and Strengthen (GSOS), a platform for security compliance management.
Invinsense OXDR is a comprehensive threat exposure management suite that integrates Attack Surface Management (ASM), Vulnerability Management (VM), Breach and Attack Simulation (BAS), Continuous Automated Red Teaming (CART), and RedOps. It enables organizations to discover, prioritize, validate, and remediate their security exposures. These exposures extend beyond vulnerabilities to include misconfigured assets, security control weaknesses, counterfeit assets, and poor responses to phishing simulations.
Invinsense GSOS, a compliance platform, is meticulously designed to streamline the process of achieving various security compliance standards while optimizing efficiency. Comprising seven modules, it enables organizations to develop robust cybersecurity strategies, simplify compliance management, strengthen security protocols, mitigate risks, enhance cybersecurity awareness and readiness, and ensure regulatory adherence for protecting sensitive data.
“The increasing sophistication and volume of cyberattacks in Africa demand a comprehensive cybersecurity approach,” said Moiz Maloo, CEO of Mart Networks Group. “Africa must now go beyond preventive security and detection and response by incorporating proactive strategies like Threat Exposure Management. Security compliance is another challenge for African organizations, and they need a platform-driven approach to achieve compliance holistically.”
Speaking on the partnership with Infopercept, Mr. Maloo added, “Mart Networks is focused on two key areas: cybersecurity and delivering tomorrow’s technology today. With decades of experience in value-added distribution for cybersecurity, we have already created significant value for our customers and partners in preventive security, detection, and response. Africa is a prime target for sophisticated cyberattacks, leading to increasingly stringent security compliance requirements. We recognized gaps in our cybersecurity offerings and sought to address them. Infopercept’s Invinsense platform fills these gaps by providing both threat exposure management and security compliance solutions, along with managed services. This collaboration will help us protect African organizations from breaches and security exposures.”
Expressing enthusiasm about the partnership, Jaydeep Ruparelia, CEO of Infopercept, said,
“Since our inception, Infopercept has been committed to cybersecurity. For our expansion into Africa, we sought a distribution partner equally passionate about the field, and we found that in Mart Networks. Africa presents a unique landscape with a diverse range of organizations.
On one end, there are cloud-native companies, while on the other, some organizations prefer to remain entirely on-premise, with many adopting a hybrid model. With Invinsense, we have built a scalable platform that caters to the cybersecurity and compliance needs of all these organizations.
Our platform-led managed security services model also addresses the significant cybersecurity skills gap, which is a global challenge. With Mart Networks as our partner, we are confident in delivering two critical cybersecurity outcomes for organizations in the region: defending against sophisticated cyberattacks and ensuring security compliance.”
