The entry of the new vendor demonstrates Arrow's constant commitment to providing its customers with cutting-edge security solutions
Arrow Electronics, a global technology provider, has signed a distribution agreement with Entrust, a global leader in identity and data security solutions. Arrow's goal is to support Italian companies in their path to adopting Zero Trust strategies, offering Entrust's digital security solutions through the channel's consolidated network.
“Achieving the Zero Trust framework is a multi-year project, requiring the support of trusted channel partners to help build a solid set of rules. Arrow has strong experience in this sector in Italy and the new agreement will allow us to provide organizations with a core Zero Trust framework and meet growing customer needs, including highly reliable identity and access management and encryption advanced to protect data today and for the foreseeable future,” said Frank Small, EMEA channel director at Entrust.
Arrow, renowned for its technology solutions expertise, sees this agreement as an important step forward in providing comprehensive security management solutions. Entrust's potential extends to the integral management of the security posture that regulates identities, privileges, keys, certificates and confidential codes, through multi-cloud, hybrid and on-premise applications.
To support the evolution towards a Zero Trust approach, Entrust introduces fundamental innovations in identity, encryption and multi-cloud security for Italian organizations, including:
- Encryption: Entrust offers nShield 5, a high-performance next-generation hardware security module (HSM) with multi-tenant architecture and support for post-quantum configuration.
- Multi-Cloud: The Entrust KeyControl 10 solution offers an innovative approach to uniform compliance policy management of multi-cloud keys and sensitive codes. This helps ensure data protection in Software as a Service (SaaS) applications, customer databases and workloads, in both cloud and on-premise environments.
- Identity: Entrust offers passwordless, certificate-based authentication, with smart keys and passkeys for FIDO2 integrated into the complete Entrust Identity IAM solution. Additionally, Entrust's cloud-based PKI as a Service (PKIaaS) offers turnkey integration with Microsoft Intune and other mobile device management (MDM) vendors, accelerating device enrollment at scale.
“The agreement with Entrust in Italy demonstrates Arrow's commitment to providing cutting-edge solutions to customers, supporting them in improving their security posture and embracing the Zero Trust framework,” underlines Michele Puccio, country manager of Arrow Enterprise Computing Solutions Business in Italy. “Enterprises will be able to leverage our expertise and leading digital security solutions from Entrust to address critical issues in an ever-evolving threat environment.”
