ICOS and Garland Technology announce new distribution agreement in Italy

ICOS S.p.A., a value-added distributor of IT infrastructure and security solutions, and Garland Technology, a leading global provider of network Test Access Points (TAPs), hardware data diodes, and network packet brokers, announced today that they have entered into an agreement under which ICOS will distribute Garland Technology products in Italy.

Garland Technology provides network visibility solutions designed to ensure that IT and OT network monitoring and security technologies are able to deliver the maximum performance and the highest level of protection needed by today’s organizations. To that purpose, Garland Technology’s products intercept all the traffic that crosses the network, create a copy of the data, and direct it towards critical tools - such as cyber security, troubleshooting, performance monitoring, and forensic analysis - providing the tools with complete packet-level visibility. All this happens non-intrusively, safeguarding the performance and integrity of the network. By leveraging this new partnership, customers can increase the performance and enhance the effectiveness of their critical technologies for network monitoring and security.

“Garland Technology is committed to growing our business through strategic partnerships with distributors like ICOS. ICOS delivers invaluable sales support, deep technical knowledge, and strong relationships in their local markets," said Chris Bihary, CEO / Co-Founder, Garland Technology. “We are proud to offer complementary solutions to several of ICOS' key vendors including Armis and LogRhythm, which enables ICOS to provide customers with complete IT visibility and security solutions.”

“An effective security and monitoring strategy is vital for organizations that are increasingly exposed to cyber threats. Garland Technology’s solutions offer the guarantee that the technologies used to protect the network provide the performance that customers expect, and this is an important differentiator, as well as, significant added value for our partners,” said Federico Marini, Managing Director, ICOS. Thanks to their features, quality, and innovation, Garland’s products are the ideal complement to our security portfolio and an ideal match for channel partners who want to expand their market share."

Effective immediately, Italian resellers and system integrators can contact ICOS to learn about and evaluate Garland Technology’s solutions. A wide range of complementary services, provided jointly by the two partners through teams of proven competence and efficiency, are available including technical support, training, and assistance in developing business opportunities.
