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.

Beyond Identity appoints Shadrake

Passwordless identity management provider Beyond Identity has appointed Tony Shadrake as its EMEA Vice President.

Launched in April 2020, the company replaces insecure passwords with stuff based on asymmetric cryptography and X.509 certificates. This  underpins TLS (the lock in the browser) which is ubiquitously deployed across the internet to protect trillions of pounds of financial transactions daily, it is claimed. The cloud-native solution can be deployed in under an hour.

With 20 years of experience in the cybersecurity industry – both in the UK and the US – Tony brings with him insights from these two markets. Previous experience includes senior roles at VMware/Carbon Black, Webroot, and Computer Associates. At Carbon Black, Shadrake was instrumental in building the business from the ground up.
