BANGKOK, Oct. 1, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Intel Security has signed a distribution agreement with Agile Distribution of Thailand, a value-added regional distributor operating under the Transition Systems Group, a leading distributor of security, networking and unified communications products and solutions in Asia. This partnership agreement broadens Agile Thailand's security solutions offering and equips its IT service provider partners with the agility to address the continually evolving cyber security needs of today's complex, highly diversified technology environments.
In recent years, organisations are finding themselves overwhelmed by security incidents and threats that are growing more sophisticated and widespread, affecting governments, large corporations, small businesses and home users. An August 2015 report by Intel Security found that three key factors -- expanding attack surfaces, the industrialization of hacking, and the complexity and fragmentation of the IT security market -- have accelerated the evolution of threats, as well as the size and frequency of attacks. In fact, the report found that globally every hour, over 6.7 million attempts were made to entice customers into connecting to risky URLs, over 19.2 million infected files were exposed to customers' networks, 7 million PUPs attempted installation or launch and 2.3 million attempts were made by our customers to connect to risky IP addresses or those addresses attempted to connect to customers' networks.
These threat scenarios can be countered with an integrated, connected security approach that requires state-of-the art technology as well as expertise in setting up and maintaining an organization's security posture to the most effective extent. In this new partnership with Intel Security, Agile Thailand is committed to leveraging its channels to deliver proactive and proven solutions and services from Intel Security that help reduce risk, improve security, protect critical assets and sensitive data and help businesses achieve operational efficiencies.
"Intel Security brings its innovative approach to hardware-enhanced security, its unique McAfee Global Threat Intelligence, and its intense focus on developing proactive, proven security solutions and services that protect systems, networks, and mobile devices for businesses," said Wanrattika Ditcharoen, General Manager, Agile Distribution Thailand. "These offerings, coupled with the market knowledge, tools, programs, education, technical enablement, and marketing support provided by Agile Thailand, help position our partners as the trusted business collaborator of today's leading enterprises."
"Thailand is a fast-growing market with an increasing demand from organisations of all sizes for cyber security solutions that minimise exposure and mitigate risk coming from cyber threats. Partnering with a focused security distributor with deep expertise like Agile Thailand allows us both to leverage opportunities and elevate our businesses to the next level in Thailand," said Craig Nielsen, Managing Director, Southeast Asia, Intel Security.
Intel Security works with companies and governments around the world to help them understand and evaluate new security technologies. Intel Security recognises that every government and citizen wants to improve the security of their data and systems, protecting them from malware and misuse, whether those are public systems and critical infrastructure or personally owned devices.
