Mart Networks Group, a value-added distributor operating across the Middle East and Africa, has entered into a distribution agreement with Infopercept, a provider of platform-driven managed security services.
The partnership grants Mart Networks distribution rights for Infopercept’s Invinsense Offensive Extended Detection and Response (OXDR) and Invinsense Govern Secure Optimize and Strengthen (GSOS) platforms, covering East and West Africa. OXDR focuses on threat exposure management, while GSOS addresses security compliance.
Invinsense OXDR is a comprehensive suite designed to manage threat exposure. It integrates tools like Attack Surface Management (ASM), Vulnerability Management (VM), Breach and Attack Simulation (BAS), Continuous Automated Red Teaming (CART), and RedOps, enabling organizations to identify, prioritize, validate, and remediate security weaknesses. These weaknesses include not only vulnerabilities, but also misconfigured assets, compromised security controls, counterfeit assets, and poor responses to simulated phishing attacks.
Invinsense GSOS is a compliance-focused platform that simplifies the process of achieving security compliance while maximizing efficiency.
Its seven modules allow organizations to develop strong cybersecurity strategies, streamline compliance management, enhance security protocols, reduce risks, improve cybersecurity awareness, and ensure regulatory compliance for sensitive data protection.
“The escalating complexity and frequency of cyberattacks in Africa necessitate a holistic cybersecurity strategy,” stated Moiz Maloo, CEO of Mart Networks Group. “African organizations must move beyond basic prevention and detection, adopting proactive strategies like Threat Exposure Management. Additionally, they require platform-based solutions to address the challenges of security compliance.”
Regarding the partnership with Infopercept, Maloo added, “Mart Networks prioritizes cybersecurity and the delivery of cutting-edge technology. With our extensive experience in value-added distribution, we’ve delivered significant value in preventive security, detection, and response. Recognizing the increasing threat landscape and compliance requirements in Africa, we sought to expand our offerings. Infopercept’s Invinsense platform, with its threat exposure management and security compliance solutions, alongside managed services, perfectly fills these gaps. This collaboration will empower us to safeguard African organizations against breaches and security vulnerabilities.”
Jaydeep Ruparelia, the Chief Executive Officer of Infopercept, expressed enthusiasm for the partnership. “Since our founding, Infopercept has been dedicated to cybersecurity. In selecting a partner for our African expansion, we sought a company with similar passion, and we found that in Mart Networks. Africa’s diverse organizational landscape, ranging from cloud-native to on-premise and hybrid setups, demands a versatile solution. Invinsense is a scalable platform that meets the cybersecurity and compliance needs of all these organizations. Our platform-led managed security services also address the global cybersecurity skills shortage. With Mart Networks, we are confident in delivering essential cybersecurity outcomes: robust defense against advanced cyberattacks and comprehensive security compliance.”
