Climb Channel Solutions, a global technology distributor, has announced a new partnership in the UK and Ireland with cybersecurity provider Fortra. The agreement builds on an existing North American partnership and is intended to expand Climb’s cybersecurity offering in response to market demand.
Climb was recently named North America Commercial Partner of the Year at Fortra’s first Americas Partner Summit. The company aims to incorporate Fortra’s technologies to support demand for data-focused security solutions.
Fortra provides a cybersecurity platform covering areas including data security, brand protection, exposure management, and adversary emulation. Its tools are used to support organisations in securing and managing sensitive data throughout its lifecycle. Features such as data discovery and classification are designed to assist businesses with compliance, privacy, and AI governance requirements, as well as identifying potential threats.
As the volume of sensitive data increases alongside developments in AI, some organisations are shifting towards data-centred security approaches. For channel partners and managed service providers (MSPs), this trend is associated with increased demand for integrated security platforms to support compliance and operational requirements.
Climb Channel Solutions Chief Revenue Officer Gerard Brophy stated that extending Fortra’s presence into the UK and Ireland aligns with the company’s strategic direction. He noted that the partnership is intended to provide a platform-led approach for partners and MSPs, addressing data protection requirements and expanding Climb’s cybersecurity portfolio in the EMEA region.
Fortra Vice President of Global Channels Faraz Siraj also commented on the collaboration, describing it as an opportunity to extend the company’s solutions within the UK and Ireland market.
The partnership will include Fortra participation in the Climb Connect UK event in London, which will allow in-person engagement with partners and discussions around further expansion opportunities.
