Westcoast Limited, a leading UK distributor of IT products and services with over £3 billion in annual revenues, today announced a distribution agreement with AppGuard, a global endpoint security provider that protects organizations from cyberattacks by disrupting malware from causing harm.
Under the agreement, Westcoast will distribute AppGuard’s malware disruption technology in the U.K. and Northern Europe regions, further expanding its commitment to enabling Westcoast’s resellers and their customers to better defend against cyberattacks by protecting endpoints from being compromised by malware.
Distributing leading IT brands such as HP, HPE, Microsoft, Lenovo, Apple, and many others to a broad range of resellers, retailers and office product dealers in the UK and beyond, Westcoast and its 9,000 trading partners and their customers understand that cybersecurity is the number one challenge facing today’s businesses. The addition of AppGuard to Westcoast’s cyber security portfolio furthers advances the company’s commitment to ensure partners and their customers have the defense-in-depth they need to protect against today’s advanced malware attacks.
“Westcoast is committed to finding compelling, differentiated cyber security products,” Steve Smith, Head of Westcoast Cyber. “Companies are tired of investing in failing, legacy solutions. AppGuard provides a unique, proactive approach to prevent security breaches by applying Zero Trust within the endpoint. Westcoast, like AppGuard, is committed to delivering advanced endpoint protection without relying on known signatures or patterns to identify good from bad files. By proactively disrupting malware from executing, AppGuard enables businesses to do what they need to do, while preventing malware from doing what it wants to do.”
