WALLIX Strengthens its International Presence by Signing Major Distribution Agreements Across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa

ACCELERATION OF WALLIX’S EXPANSION WITH A STRONGER PRESENCE IN ITS TARGET MARKETS

• Infinigate in Germany
• E92PLUS in the UK
• CREDENCE SECURITY in the Middle East and Africa
• COMGUARD in Eastern Europe
• among others, and more to come

WALLIX (Euronext – ALLIX), the European expert in Privileged Access Management (PAM), is continuing to scale up its distribution network in Europe, the Middle East and Africa by signing agreements with distribution partners in key markets. These distributors will promote and market WALLIX’s product offerings to their network of resellers. This approach plays on both customer proximity and local commercial dynamism, while bolstering WALLIX’s commercial power on a European scale.

In accordance with the Ambition21 plan and following the development of its business partner program, WALLIX is developing its network of resellers through an ambitious distributor conquest strategy. In this way, the group aims to gain partners who have an international dimension and a local dynamic: the ambition is to cover 80% of the global PAM market by 2021.  WALLIX has seen the first fruits of this active policy with the recent recruitment of numerous benchmark partners across key development areas in Europe and in the Middle East and Africa.

In Germany, a target market where PAM is booming, WALLIX has signed a new partnership agreement with Infinigate, the German leader in value-added distribution (VAD) for security solutions, which has a presence in more than ten countries in Europe. The agreement, which takes effect immediately, covers WALLIX’s entire product range. With over 23% of its economic fabric dedicated to the industrial world, the German market represents very significant growth potential for WALLIX in Europe. This partnership is in line with WALLIX’s increasing capacity in the DACH region where it already has a team of 15 people based in Munich. Andreas Berthold, Managing Director of Infinigate Germany, stated: “The technological alliances of WALLIX with numerous big names in IT make the distribution of WALLIX solutions particularly relevant in a German market which is already well developed.”

In the United Kingdom, WALLIX has joined forces with e92plus, the leader in distribution of cybersecurity products, to resell its solutions in a market which should represent 3.8 billion dollars in 2021, with a PAM segment which is showing an average annual growth rate of 20% per year.

Mukesh Gupta, CEO and founder of e92plus, said: “Last year, Gartner designated PAM as the most dynamic segment in cybersecurity and it is now a market standard.  This is the ideal moment to add it to our portfolio of product offerings. WALLIX provides the most flexible and easiest to deploy PAM solution, and we are very enthusiastic about the potential of our partnership.”

Additionally, the group has signed an agreement with the distributor Credence Security, which allows WALLIX to position its whole product offering on the fast-growing market of the Middle East and Africa. In the Czech Republic, an agreement with distributor Comguard is bolstering WALLIX’s presence in Eastern Europe, a market where the commercial dynamic is particularly strong.

Xavier Lefaucheux, Global Channel VP, said: “The PAM market is in an accelerated growth phase which is over twice as fast as that of the cybersecurity market. This is an exceptional development opportunity for resellers and integrators, for whom our software offering based on the Bastion clearly has distinctive features and a support methodology which they like. Our WALLIX Academy training center and our new partner portal will also allow us to support the upskilling of users and of our partners in all parts of the world.”
