KARACHI: Caretaker Federal Minister for IT and Telecommunication Dr. Umar Saif inaugurated AquaOrange pavilion at the 23rd ITCN Asia 2023 on Thursday, 31st August, 2023 at Karachi Expo Center by Ecommerce Gateway Pakistan.
Xcitium, the industry’s only provider of zero dwell [JP1] security, has named AquaOrange as its sole distributor for Pakistan, one of the fastest growing markets in Asia.
Karachi based AquaOrange specialises in cloud migration and application development in healthcare, financial services and marketing.
AquaOrange will be responsible for training, support and development of the reseller network in Pakistan for Xcitium’s ZeroDwell Containment security portfolio.
ZeroDwell Containment is the industry’s first endpoint security solution for the problem of eliminating dwell time – the time malware spends in enterprise networks before causing harm.
Shahan Farid, AquaOrange CEO, said: “Xcitium brings a truly unique capability to the table with ZeroDwell Containment. Pakistan businesses have huge challenges with cybersecurity and Xcitium’s solution promises massively to reduce their exposure to the risk posed by malware. No other system that I’ve seen is as effective against ransomware.
“The second thing that will make its solution appealing during a global cybersecurity skills shortage is that businesses don’t need big security teams to manage Xcitium deployments. If they want to manage their own security they can use Xcitium’s open source EDR solution for free or they can choose an affordable MDR managed service or a complete enterprise solution in the shape of Xcitium’s XDR.”
The partnership is launching two years after the launch of Pakistan’s national cyber crime policy, which was approved the country’s parliament in late July 2021. The policy was developed to strengthen Pakistan’s cybersecurity infrastructure against a background of soaring internet and cloud use that left many businesses to attack.
Xcitium’s ZeroDwell Containment enables any suspicious code entering the network to run safely in a virtualised environment until it can be investigated. While traditional methods rely on detecting known threats, Xcitium’s approach keeps out the unknown threats that may lurk in networks for weeks before activating.
Xcitium CEO, Ken Levine said: “Pakistan is seeing huge innovation in business and technology but enterprises are also having to fight off growing attacks from cyber criminals. We’re delighted to be working with AquaOrange and its partners to create a safer business environment.”
