Kaspersky, the global cybersecurity and digital privacy company has appointed Technocity Private Limited as its exclusive B2C distributor in Sri Lanka, and as the second B2C distributor in the Maldives.
The partnership, officiated in a special event at Kingsbury Hotel in Colombo, Sri Lanka recently, is expected to enable Kaspersky to expand and reinforce its mark in the consumer market in both countries, where consumers are increasingly seeking solutions to protect their sensitive data and digital assets.
Purshottam Bhatia, Head of Consumer Business for South Asia at Kaspersky said, “We are very excited to partner up with The Technocity as this partnership is in line with our strategy to boost growth in the consumer segment in both Sri Lanka and the Maldives. Cyberthreats are increasingly rising and evolving complexity and sophistication. As consumers increase their online presence, including usage of banking and digital financial services, cybersecurity measures are critically imperative for them to safeguard themselves against threats that are growing voluminously and maliciously.”
Fahmy Ismail, Managing Director of The Technocity Private Limited, said “We are pleased to be appointed as official distributor for Kaspersky, one of the world’s leading cybersecurity solution brands, known for its cutting-edge innovations and as a leader in endpoint protection. This partnership marks a significant step forward in the local cybersecurity landscape, bringing value and positive contribution to further bolster cyber defense for the community. As a leading IT distributor, we are committed to ensuring that we avail Kaspersky’s world-class solutions to every consumer in both countries.”
The Technocity will carry Kaspersky’s award-winning solutions that are designed to provide robust and full protection against all cyberthreats, which include Kaspersky Standard, Kaspersky Plus and Kaspersky Premium.
In 2024, Kaspersky’s security solutions stopped 302 million malware attacks, detected 85 million unique malicious URLs, blocked 72 million unique malicious objects and prevented over 300,000 ransomware attacks.
