Peter Phokos, Hemisphere Technologies, managing director
1. Key channel plays for 2015
Our key channel play for 2015 is taking a simplified set of synergistic security solutions to our channel.
2. Key technology for 2015
Real Time security is a very exciting forefront for us. Having recently added AlienVault SIEM to our mix, our hat is now well and truly in Australia’s real time security arena.
3. Key message to the channel for 2015
Australian companies now need multiple threat prevention layers working in real time and need information security solutions as a holistic approach. This is why we have built a select, non-competing, complimentary vendor base so our channel partners can focus on what they do best; tailoring solutions to fit their customers’ requirements.
4. Key warning to the channel for 2015
When Wi-Fi technology first braced the world, many analysts heralded the end of ‘cat5e spaghetti’ office patch panels. Yet here we are today and most companies retain a hardwired office network. Why? Like sovereign borders, physical separation will always be paramount to security. Uptake in Cloud and other disruptive technologies need to retain a healthy respect for functionality vs risk.
5. Key to Hemisphere Technologies’ success in 2015
We are 100 per cent channel focused. We’re building an arsenal of marketing, sales and technical professionals to empower our channel in delivering world leading security to their clients. We’ve recently expanded our operations to include a Melbourne office, a second Sydney office and a UK office to streamline the service delivery from our vendor to our partners and ultimately the end user.
