The Tech Data security practice team will provide specialist business development and technical support to WALLIX partners and also provide full enablement for new partners.

We look forward to working with the Tech Data team, supporting them in extending the reach of our identity and access management solutions, and helping our mutual partners to grow their business.”
The need to safeguard privileged accounts has been underlined by a number of attacks in recent times, in which, by gaining access to key accounts or users, cybercriminals can gain further access to critical systems and confidential data.
WALLIX’s solutions provide guaranteed detection of and resilience to cyberattacks, protecting IT infrastructures and critical data and ensuring business continuity and compliance. The company was recently recognised as the “Overall Leader” in the KuppingerCole 2021 Leadership Compass report. It was also named as a “Challenger” in the Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for PAM (Privileged Access Management) solutions. WALLIX’s Bastion PAM solution enables secure privileged access to critical IT infrastructure to reduce the attack surface and meets regulatory and compliance requirements. It adapts to the entire IT environment and responds to specific use cases, providing strong access protection and securing digital identities.
