Kaspersky Lab expands in the Emerald Isle

Kaspersky Lab signs a new distributor agreement with Sentryst

Kaspersky Lab announced today that it has reinforced its presence in Ireland by signing a distribution agreement with Sentryst, one of Ireland's principle distributors of IT security products. The new partnership will start with a series of intensive training programmes for Sentryst's resellers and VARs to provide them with insight into the latest development of virus threats and how Kaspersky's award winning products will protect their customers.

Hugh Conolly, Managing Director of Sentryst says, "Customers demand that their networks have the ultimate protection against viruses and other types of malware and with the increase in sophisticated blended attacks and seemingly less reliance on email to propagate, organisations need to be certain that all lines of defence within their networks are protected. Kaspersky Lab can offer our resellers the ability to provide this through their highly advanced anti-virus technology, coupled with their recent industry award wins and dominance of independent test results for high detection rates, we felt Kaspersky was the ultimate anti-virus product offering.'
