DUBAI & BOSTON - Monday, October 13th 2014 [ME NewsWire]

(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Core Security®, a leading provider of attack intelligence solutions, today at Gitex Technology Week 2014 highlighted the success of its partnership with StarLink, a leading IT compliance and threat driven security solutions provider serving customers in the Middle East, Turkey and Africa. Core Security signed a master distributor agreement with StarLink last year and has since signed on many prominent companies in the region, including Dubai Air Navigation Services, Mobily and Eskan Bank.

The Core Secured® partner program expands the geographic reach of Core Security through alliances with leading information security service organizations worldwide. Channel partners are able to offer the Core Attack Intelligence Platform to customers seeking an improvement in overall security posture. With this technology, enterprise IT and security teams can prioritize threats based on the actual risk each one presents to their critical business assets, solving the vulnerability data overload problem created by traditional vulnerability assessment solutions. This results in faster remediation with fewer operational resources and, ultimately, a more secure business. As the trusted security advisor of the Middle East, Turkey and Africa, StarLink keeps organizations in this region on the cutting edge of vulnerability management with the Core Attack Intelligence Platform.

“Core Security’s advanced solutions have been well received, and their team has demonstrated a strong commitment to serving customers in this region,” said Avinash Advani, director of business strategy at StarLink. “Their flexibility and dedication to meeting these companies’ challenges has been critical to the success of this partnership.”

“Our partnership with StarLink has already produced outstanding results,” explained Joseph Schramm, director, global alliances & international field operations at Core Security. “Their broad reach and solid reputation have been very important to our success in this region. Customers know they can rely on StarLink to provide valuable, impactful technology. Together, we will continue to help organizations strengthen their cyber defenses and build on this remarkable momentum.”
