Endpoint protection is a key part of endpoint security and Cibecs Endpoint Cloud solution can play an indispensable role in helping our customers by providing them full visibility or control over endpoint data and devices,” added Kanappan.

According to Richard Dewing, CEO of Cibecs, “We are delighted to take our partnership with Tech Data to the next level and are excited to align with their APJ presence and ability to address all markets while helping to build the right partner profile. With cloud adoption on the rise across the region, we are confident that Cibecs Endpoint Cloud, by providing a single, unified platform to discover, manage, backup and secure business data, will play an important role in delivering the most advanced data management and protection technology.”
