Tech Data, Opaq Forge Network Security-as-a-Service Alliance

Tech Data and Opaq have announced an agreement with Opaq to deliver network security-as-a-service and hyperscale performance through the Opaq cloud platform.

The platform is designed to help service providers monitor, secure and manage client networks and deliver comprehensive enterprise-grade security.

“Digital transformation is driving the need for network and security modernization,” said Glenn C. Hazard, Chairman and CEO of Opaq. “This is an immense challenge for organizations, especially in the mid-market. As a result, companies are increasingly evaluating cloud-delivered security solutions and leaning on service providers to help them secure their journeys to the cloud.”

The alliance is intended to help partners embed security into a cloud-based networking solution delivered over a private network. Partners can then add their own value-added services to that value proposition.
