Email security vendor Ironscales to expand in UK and Ireland with Infinigate partnership

Building on the existing partnership in Europe, Ironscales has announced a new deal with Infinigate across U&I

Email security provider Ironscales is expanding into the UK and Ireland with VAD Infinigate.

The expansion builds on the successful partnership between the two in Benelux, Nordics, and Switzerland announced last May.

Infinigate UK and Ireland will distribute the vendor's adaptive AI email security platform.

The vendor says it follows a 100 per cent channel-centric go-to-market model, focussing on delivering outstanding support to channel partners.

"We are building on our successful partnership with Infinigate and extending our reach across Europe, adding an important market," said Russell McGuire, CRO at Ironscales.

"The UK is a key addition for us where we see considerable opportunity to provide advanced phishing protection to MSPs, MSSPs, VARs, and system integrators."

McGuire added: "We value Infinigate for its strong cloud capabilities for integrations, its unique go-to-market differentiation, and its global reach within the MSP and MSSP ecosystem.

"Together, we can offer cost-effective risk protection for customers, thanks to the leading email security solution on the market."

The announcement comes at a time when rates of BEC and other advanced phishing attacks are climbing exponentially as they expose vulnerabilities in traditional email security solutions with social engineering tactics.

In addition, cybercriminals specifically target the human element as it offers a convenient means of gaining unauthorised access to sensitive information, with phishing being one of their primary tactics.

According to the 2023 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report (DBIR), 74 per cent of breaches involved a human element.

Lewis Dick, alliances director at Infinigate UK&I, said: "The Ironscales platform addresses a common risk that is increasing in frequency and complexity for businesses of all sizes and segments.

"The platform offers an innovative 'secure user' approach to email security, which perfectly complements our cybersecurity portfolio.

"The launch of Ironscales within our UK business will add to our growing range of managed services, addressing businesses need for cost-effective, flexible protection.

"Our partners stand to benefit from increased retention to SaaS systems and attachment rate to Microsoft apps, a great opportunity to secure ongoing growth."

The Ironscales partner programme enables partners to provide comprehensive email security to their customers.

The vendor explained its programme offers partners guaranteed margins, significant growth opportunities, protected revenue, and resources and tools, while providing email protection with the industry's only AI and human insights email security solution.

Infinigate will foster growth for channel partners, extending the vendor's reach and growth in the UK channel with a tailored partner programme and specialist services, including partner training, solutions engineering and configuration.

The news comes as the distributor has been busy with several updates to the company's leadership and services for partners.

Earlier this month, Infinigate announced it was releasing a new single sign-on ‘digital hub' for channel partners to them grow.

And towards the same goal, Infinigate recently appointed Marcus Meloni as its new European CEO to lead growth in its European business.
