Authlogics Appoints Portland Europe as its Distributor in Benelux

UK Authentication Specialists Begins Major 2017 Global Expansion Plans

BRACKNELL, UK, 16th January 2017 – Authlogics has today announced that it has appointed Portland Europe at its distributor for Benelux. The UK-based authentication company’s innovative solutions are already deployed by organisations in the UK, South Africa and the US and now Authlogics is expanding in to mainland Europe, with one of the largest distributors in the Netherlands.

The Netherlands is in many respects the beating heart of the European IT security with initiatives such as The Hague Security Delta (HSD), which is the largest security cluster in Europe. As such it represents the ideal springboard for Authlogics to develop and grow its install base and market share throughout Europe.

Head of Marketing at Portland Europe, Roel Seegers states: “When we first saw PINgrid in action, many of us wondered why something so ‘simple’ and logical hadn’t been done before. Security isn’t about complexity, it’s simply about how well one keeps a secret. In this case, keeping a pattern in your head.”

Seegers adds: “The engineers at Authlogics understand this very well and created an incredibly smart bundle of solutions for our MSPs to secure both cloud and on-premise access points. For Portland Europe, distributing a diverse portfolio of services for the MSP, this type of authentication is a perfect match.”

CEO of Authlogics, Steven Hope adds: “We have been very impressed by the proactive approach Portland Europe has already taken to establish the Authlogics brand in the region. Their close working relationship with many MSPs, resellers and us as the vendor, means that they provide an exceptional level of value-add for the end user. They are certainly one of the most forward thinking and best of the breed distributors and Authlogics is delighted to be growing its business with them.”
