Tripwire chose to team with Biodata IT as a result of its deep technical expertise, knowledge of the local market and proven leadership in distributing IT security products across Sub-Saharan Africa.
The two companies have worked closely together to develop Biodata IT's understanding of Tripwire's product suite, as well as best practices for helping enterprise customers deploy Tripwire technology across both physical and virtual IT infrastructures to achieve and maintain a state of continuous compliance.
"Compliance mandates, both self-imposed and government regulated, are driving a heightened degree of interest in technology that can help South African enterprises achieve compliance as consistently and efficiently as possible," said Jan De Lange, Biodata IT Director. "By partnering with Tripwire, we're able to offer our customers a set of highly regarded configuration control offerings that automate the process of ensuring compliance with all manner of regulatory or internal mandates. It's a powerful arrow in our quiver when working with partners and enterprises in this market."
