SANTA CLARA, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 06/04/14 -- Centrify Corporation, the leader in unified identity services across data center, cloud and mobile, today announced that it has expanded in Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA), doubling the company's headcount in the region and growing its partner channel by 139 percent. This includes the introduction of a dedicated sales team for its Identity-as-a-Service (IDaaS) unit.

Centrify has recruited a number of additional partners across EMEA, including Nebulas, Quru, Somerford Associates, SecurityMatterz, and AT Computers in the UK. The company has further expanded in EMEA East and the DACH region (Germany, Austria, and Switzerland), building new partnerships with Fujitsu Technology Solutions, Science+Computing (a Bull Group Company), Cross Media and Mint. Centrify has also recruited three new Value Added Distributors, Hermitage Solutions in France, IREO in Spain and Portugal, and Inforte in Turkey.

Fuelled by the explosive demand for mobile and cloud-based security, Centrify is well positioned to capitalize on the demand for IDaaS. "As businesses take a more mobile-centric approach to work, managing corporate data is becoming problematic," said EMEA Director Darren Gross. "Given that mobile devices are predominantly used for accessing apps, Centrify is addressing identity needs for both on-premises and cloud environments, and is looking to further expand its partner base with specialist cloud integrators and enablers."

"Traditional identity and access management software is no longer the only answer as the trend for cloud-based security services soar. A recent poll conducted by Centrify showed that 94 percent of IT security professionals are now using third party apps on their mobile devices. With so many apps being accessed across a myriad of platforms, there is now a greater need for unified, secure identity across on-premises and cloud-based resources. The demand for these services has enabled us to expand our team and our reach across EMEA, and will be instrumental in our future growth," adds Gross.

Nick Garlick, managing director of Nebulas, the UK's largest independent cyber security specialist and recently appointed partner of Centrify, adds: "As security becomes more and more complex, the ability to manage and secure information across multiple devices means that organizations are having to rethink their security strategy. Centrify's approach to unified identity and the ability to provide streamlined security across platforms both in the cloud and on-premises fits perfectly with our existing security portfolio. More importantly, it fits with our customers and reflects their change in priorities as organizations become more mobile."

Having recently announced $42 million in funding from strategic investors Samsung Ventures, Fortinet Inc. and NTT DOCOMO Capital, and based on its partnership with Samsung to provide key enabling technology for Samsung's KNOX mobile platform, Centrify will continue to bolster its strategic growth in EMEA.
