Help AG, a leading information security services and solutions provider in the Middle East, has announced that it has extended its relationship with Juniper Networks and will be the first reseller in the United Arab Emirates trained and certified to offer the networking vendor’s Juniper Networks® Junos® WebApp Secure solution. This revolutionary Intrusion Deception system delivers real-time protection, detects, tracks, profiles and prevents hackers in real-time, neutralizing threats against web-applications.
Research by Frost & Sullivan1 has identified web applications as one of the three main technologies to drive the deployment of integrated security appliances in the region through to 2018 due to the paradigm shift in communication to collaborative technologies, coupled with increased Internet penetration and information sharing.
Commenting on the addition of Junos WebApp Secure to Help AG’s extensive product portfolio, Stephan Berner, Managing Director of the company said, “As most of our customers are now delivering business applications through hosted services, we are specifically focusing on protecting their valuable resources published via web-applications.
