First Solution Sdn Bhd, a subsidiary of Microlink Group of companies, has entered a partnership agreement with Group-IB Global Private Limited, an industry-leading cybersecurity solutions provider.
This new partnership with the Singapore-based company will boost the First Solution distribution portfolio with a suite of globally accredited cybersecurity solutions aimed at detection and prevention of cyberattacks, online fraud, and IP protection.
With cybercrime becoming one of the most prevalent risks for organisations in today’s world of accelerated digitisation, access to the right solutions is critical for business protection. With Group-IB’s experience, threat-hunting and intelligence expertise have been fused into an eco-system of highly sophisticated software and hardware solutions designed to monitor, identify, and prevent cyber threats. Its Threat Intelligence & Attribution system has been named one of the best-in-class by Gartner, Forrester, and IDC, while its Threat Hunting Framework has been recognised as one of the leaders in Network Detection and Response.
The new alliance will enable First Solution to provide support and services for government agencies and businesses to transform securely, identifying and stamping out any threats before they occur. With increased digitisation, such threats are becoming particularly prevalent in the telco, financial services and energy sector, where the scale of potential impact is far-reaching.
“As organisations from both the private and public sectors continue their drive to transform digitally, accelerated by the pandemic, cybercrime is on an alarming upwards trend. As such, the adoption of best-in-class cybersecurity systems is vital for the protection of national and individual assets, to maintain data integrity and to sustain the business ecosystem. Our partnership with Group-IB will provide our clients with access to such systems,” Jonathan Lim of Microlink Distribution said.
“As is widely reported, cybercrime is seeing a dramatic rise with attacks becoming increasingly more complex and sophisticated, and many going undetected until it is too late. We therefore welcome the opportunity to bring First Solution into our regional partner network so that it may provide its customers with access to our industry-leading cybersecurity solutions and expertise for them to protect their business,” Darrent Ng of Group-IB said.
