Westcon Group has extended its partnership with security vendor Vasco to cover the UK market.

Previously covering only France, Australia and New Zealand, Vasco's full portfolio of authentication and electronic signature solutions will now be available to Westcon's UK resellers as a result of the deal.

Jan Valcke, president and COO of Vasco, said: "Partnering with Westcon will allow us to expand our presence in the UK. By combining its local expertise with our authentication solutions, customers in the UK can now more effectively address the toughest challenges associated with protection of corporate data."

Niall McGrane, general manager of Westcon Security UK, said: "Now, more than ever, companies demand a strong authentication solution capable of protecting business-critical applications and network access.

"With unmatched experience in the high-demand computer security needs required by banks and financial institutions, it is no surprise that companies consistently turn to Vasco for their most critical security needs."
