Cyber Security Incubator & Distributor, Progress Distribution, Adds RedSeal To Its Tier 1 Portfolio
High margins for VAR’s for net new business
London, UK, 27th February 2018 – Progress Distribution are pleased to announce it has signed a distribution agreement with RedSeal for the UK and Europe and adds network modelling and risk scoring to the list of vendor solutions in their portfolio.
RedSeal’s platform analyses networks across public cloud, private cloud and physical environments. Then, it automatically builds a model, which allows enterprises to understand and continually monitor their whole network. The platform is key to organisations wishing to accelerate investigation of security incidents and network vulnerabilities, verify compliance and have a better understanding of their hybrid network as a whole.
For the security VAR community, there’s finally a serious contender to fit a niche that’s not being filled with any other vendors in the network risk modelling and next generation vulnerability space. RedSeal has already made an impact in a few short weeks as VARs reach out for new technologies to bolster dwindling margins. With RedSeal it’s easily achievable to attain 30%+ margins for net new business.
Progress Distribution’s CEO, John Quinn said, “When approached by RedSeal, we were extremely eager to help them execute their ambitious plans for growth in the UK & Europe and are jointly investing in a solid go to market plan for major channel recruitment.”
He went on to say, “The RedSeal EMEA Management team really understand the power of Progress’s solid VAR network, coupled with the strong end user business development teams in London who really hit the ground running. They’re a natural fit and complementary to our leading-edge security portfolio”
Nash Kapoor, Regional VP for EMEA at RedSeal, stated, “Getting closer to the cybersecurity reseller community is imperative to our business success, and our relationship with Progress is key to achieving our goals for market growth. We’re already very impressed at the speed and drive the Progress team are demonstrating — they are already creating new opportunities for us.”

We all must have heard about the Love bug virus— a cute little love letter, back in 2000, that landed in the inboxes of millions of people and destroyed data with a self-replicating computer worm. Little could be done to meet the aftermath. Well, it was way back in 2000—two decades back when threat awareness or the awareness to cope with it was limited. Earlier, technology companies bought errors and omissions (E&O) insurance that later begin to include coverages for software product creating downtimes, unauthorized access to a client system, data demolition, or a trojan.
