Partnership is the first in
Southeast Asia for SecureWorks

Singapore – 15 June, 2016 – JOS, one of Asia’s leading system
integrators, solutions providers and technology consultancies, today announced
the company’s partnership with SecureWorks (NASDAQ: SCWX) as the global
information security solution provider’s first solution partner in Southeast
Asia. The partnership expands JOS’s enterprise IT security solutions portfolio
in Southeast Asia, keeping in line with the company’s mission to be Asia’s
trusted IT partner.

As SecureWorks’ first local
security solution partner in Southeast Asia, JOS will introduce SecureWorks
along with its security offerings, as the company tailors solutions to meet the
distinct needs of customers. JOS will also be reselling and implementing
SecureWorks’ portfolio of security offerings, while providing an in-country
point-of-contact to clients. The collaboration boosts JOS’s already
comprehensive security offerings to include even more holistic end-to-end
security solutions that are compatible with any off-the-shelf hardware.

“More than ever, businesses
and nations are using more technology to accelerate growth, enhance
productivity, improve customer experience and solve key national issues. The
resulting heightened connectedness between these corporations and
governments with the outside world has made cyber security a key
priority.  JOS has been working with clients across multiple industries
including healthcare, logistics, transportation, manufacturing, services and
the public sector for the past 17 years in Southeast Asia, and we recognise
that the security needs of organisations have evolved from basic web protection
services to fully managed security solutions. With this partnership, JOS,
together with SecureWorks, will be better able to meet our clients’
increasingly diverse security needs,” said Freddy Lee, Managing Director,
Southeast Asia, JOS.

“We are excited to work
with JOS. SecureWorks’ vision has always been to be the global leader in
intelligence-driven information security solutions. This vision, tied with
JOS’s expertise and presence in the region, means we can help more clients
navigate the threat landscape and reduce the risk of breaches occurring,” said
Simon Ractliffe, SecureWorks Director and General Manager for Southeast Asia.

experience bringing security solutions to the market, SecureWorks boasts a
comprehensive suite of software and intelligence-driven security offerings

“Effective enterprise
security requires more than just technology – it requires proactive risk
assessment and encompasses people, real-time threat intelligence, processes and
policies. Thus, the need for companies to partner with proven security experts who
can provide these solutions is even more prevalent today, as the world has seen
how detrimental a slight lapse can be,” added    Mr Lee.

JOS’s comprehensive enterprise security offerings include technology and
services around classifying data assets, managing risk, and establishing the
appropriate defence protocols. By offering services such as security audits and
penetration testing, and leveraging on its other strengths, JOS helps
