“We are very happy to partner with Cyberoam to promote its unique identity-based UTM solutions, particularly in a security market that demands the robust capabilities Cyberoam provides,” said Dan Dempsey, President, Marketlink. “Security threats are coming at organizations from all directions, internally and externally. Adding Cyberoam’s UTM solutions to our portfolio enables us to help the market address this challenge in a way that no other UTM provider can.” |

| “Marketlink has a proven reputation for driving market awareness and penetration in the security landscape with companies such as Barracuda, Netscreen and Symantec, so we are very excited about the opportunity to leverage its expertise,” said Joshua Block, Vice President, North American Operations, Cyberoam. “We are 100 percent channel and VAR focused, and we are looking for innovative ways to increase our market footprint. I am confident that this partnership will enable us to do just that.” |
