Beyond Identity building UK channel

Passwordless security outfit Beyond Identity is building a two-tier channel approach in the UK.

The firm has signed up Distology to do its distribution in the UK and Ignition Technology to cover the Nordics and is already working with a number of resellers that specialise in password authentication.

Beyond Identity vice-president of Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) at  Tony Shadrake said he wanted to extend the firm’s channel base by using partners.

“It’s a build-out year and we’re getting great support from corporate in the US as we build the business. So far, I think we’ve been pretty successful in our efforts, taking on Distology and Ignition, as we build out the Identity platform”, he said.

The focus is also largely on the UK and Ireland, the Nordics and Israel, with those countries seen as the main areas for growth in the immediate future.

There is some traction for the company’s product with growth in the passwordless market predicted.

The pandemic has pushed out the perimeter and underlined the need for it to be straightforward and secure when it comes to staff connecting from numerous locations to the corporate network.
