Unified communications (UC) security specialist VibeSec is looking to storm the UK channel next year with the help of consultancy Clipsham IT.
Venture capital-backed VibeSec is to release its first product, a UC security and fraud prevention offering called Vigilance, this year. Clipsham has been tasked with finding a handful of trial customers and ascertaining market demand during the remainder of the year.
Next year, the focus will turn to recruitment, with Clipsham director Kay Bruen claiming she would scout for a select band of Mitel, Avaya and Cisco Call Manager partners with strong security skills.
