Filip Cotfas, Channel Manager, CoSoSys explains the strategies employed by CoSoSys to stay ahead in the security market and how the Channel system is now defining the companies.
What is your Channel strategy for the country?
CoSoSys has a strong distribution channel in India, through which we help customers locally. We know that India is a very relationship-based country and a strong local presence is required in order to build trust and help companies overcome their security challenges. Through our Distributors, we have been working with a mix of VARs, System Integrators, and MSPs, each of them with their own niche markets.
Our strategy for India is to increase the Channel Network and continue to bring more value to the Partners through our continuous R&D efforts for our award-winning Data Loss Prevention solution, Endpoint Protector. Our solution helps our customers protect their sensitive information and prevent potential data breaches.
I know we can help a lot of organizations in India overcome their security challenges, and our aim is to help mitigate the risk of losing sensitive information, either by human error or malicious intent. In order to achieve this purpose, we are focusing on developing a strong brand identity for our DLP solution, Endpoint Protector, on the Indian market, which will add value to our company, clients and partners.
