gateProtect extends its market presence and has now signed a contract with the value added distributor, LaniNet. From now on, the fastest growing distributor of IT security in the Nordic countries and one of the largest within this area, will represent gateProtect in Scandinavia. In 2010, gateProtect won several new distributors, for example in Asia and Africa.

LaniNet will also develop the reseller channel by offering training and certification as well as different market activities in order to generate business opportunities through its partner network. Roland Andersson, CEO of LaniNet: “With gateProtect we supplement our UTM assortment with products known for their ease of use. This is especially important for small and mid-sized companies since they usually don’t have a dedicated crew for IT security. Our customers benefit from ease of use and higher security at the same time, due to faster updates and adjustment to new threats.“

“We have now found the suitable and qualified representative for Scandinavia we were looking for“, said Dennis Monner, CEO of gateProtect. “Together with LaniNet, we will now develop our presence in the Nordic countries in order to convince as many companies as possible of the various advantages our products offer.“
