Avecto and Caretower form premier partnership

As a Premier Partner, Caretower is now able to deploy Avecto’s award winning Privilege Guard software to its extensive client base. The software works by removing powerful administrative rights from all users, instead allowing IT teams to assign access permissions to applications, tasks and scripts. The result is an immediate improvement in security, without restricting users from performing their everyday job roles.

With branches across EMEA, Caretower is one of Europe’s leading independent network & endpoint security providers, offering a range of services. The organisation was the first in the UK and Ireland to hold the McAfee ACE certification and was subsequently awarded McAfee’s ACE partner of the year in 2013. It also holds high-level accreditations from the likes of Symantec, Sophos, Checkpoint and is a Microsoft Gold Partner.

Phydos Neophytou, managing director at Caretower said: “Avecto’s award-winning security software will be extremely popular with European businesses who are quickly realising the benefits of controlling user privileges.

“Having such a sophisticated software solution as part of our portfolio will help our customers balance corporate security with user productivity – a feat which has traditionally been very difficult to achieve.”

Paul Kenyon, co-founder and EVP global sales at Avecto said: “Caretower’s international reach and reputation in the industry will considerably benefit our channel offering. The announcement of this official partnership will also boost the traction of our privilege management solution as we continue to grow across Europe.”
